After more than one hundred days of nationwide protests in Iran, we are witnessing a social convergence. Now the people are following one goal and the country’s socio-political state will not return to the situation before the start of the uprising.

A significant change that has become the worst nightmare for the regime is the considerable presence of women. They have led the protests. Despite being arrested, torched, and facing many forms of inhuman behaviors they did not leave the streets and are continuing to challenge the regime. For the regime, this is a heavy cultural blow while establishing the pillars of its reign on misogynism.

In these protests, the people’s main target has become the regime’s supreme leader. Now he faces isolation never seen before. This is apparent in the behavior and postures of many of the clerics. They have started to oppose his policies. Even inside the Revolutionary Guards the regime is facing increasing opposition.

These protests have made it clear that the people oppose any totalitarianism. And the people are not satisfied with any reform. The people felt that their resistance will raise international support and that the international community will recognize their struggle against the regime.

This uprising has created a new culture that is palpable in the slogans, hymns, and poems of the people. In this uprising, the final solution to topple the regime has been tested and galvanized. And the people have decided to respond to the regime’s repression and brutality with fire.

The nationwide uprising of the people fed up with the regime continues in various ways, including protests, writing slogans, and burning symbols and placards. The people insist on the continuation of the uprising until the regime’s demise.

January 6 marked the 113th day of anti-regime protests in Iran. The demonstrations began following the heinous murder of Mahsa Amini, 22, in police custody. However, it immediately turned into a revolution against the entire theocratic regime.

According to the Iranian opposition Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK/PMOI), the protests have extended to 280 cities. The regime has killed over 750 citizens, injured tens of thousands, and detained more than 30,000. The MEK has published the names of 614 killed protesters.

In many cities, the people and rebellious youths continued to burn the banners and placards of Qasem Soleimani the former chief of the regime’s Quds Force.

The students at Ardabil University also showed their support for the national uprising by writing slogans against the regime. In their slogans, they rejected any form of autocracy.

Today the brave people of Sistan & Baluchestan took once again to the streets to challenge the regime’s repression. They have expressed their solidarity with the entire nation.

They chanted:

“Death to the oppressor! Be it the Shah or [Khamenei]!”
“I will kill those who killed my brother!”
“Death to Khamenei! Damned, be Khomeini!”

“No to the crown [Shah]-No to the turban [mullahs]! The mullahs’ time is up!”
“Our silence is slavery! Resistance is life!”
“No to monarchy! No to [the mullahs’ rule]! Democracy and equality!”

In her tweet, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi the president-elect of the National Council Resistance of Iran (NCRI) praised the brave people of Sistan & Baluchestan and wrote: “Despite IRGC brutal attack, widespread arrests, our Baluch compatriots came to the streets of Zahedan today, showing their desire for the regime’s overthrow, democracy & people’s sovereignty by chants of “no to monarchy, no to the mullahs’ supreme leader.” Source
