Iran: Citizens Resume Revolution at Martyrs’ Graves – Day 103

On Tuesday, December 27, 2022, citizens in Tabriz, Mahabad, and Bukan paid homage to the slain protesters Aylar Haghi, Azad Hosseinpour, Seyyed Kamal Ahmadpour, Mohammad Ahmadi, and Hiva Jan-Jan, turning mourning ceremonies into scenes of revolution.

“Forty days after the murder of Aylar Haghi, the heroic people of Tabriz renewed their vows at her tomb, chanting, ‘Khamenei is a murderer; his rule is illegitimate,’” said Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. “The courageous youths of Iran will soon overthrow religious fascism and establish democracy and people’s sovereignty.”

Furthermore, demonstrators continued anti-regime activities in various areas across Iran. Protesters also commemorated the 13^th anniversary of the 2009 nationwide protests, attacking regime offices and Revolutionary Guards Basij bases in Tehran and 15 other cities.

“To achieve freedom, the Iranian people and Resistance do not want or need interference from any foreign governments in Iranian affairs, but they expect all governments to refrain from giving concessions or assistance to their enemy,” said Mrs. Rajavi.

December 27 marked the 103^rd 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 601 killed protesters.
