Iran: Honoring Cyrus the Great, Protests Continue for Freedom – Day 44

On Cyrus the Great day, Iranian citizens resumed anti-regime protests for day 44 despite the oppressors' merciless crimes and crackdown.

On October 29, day 44 of the nationwide protests, citizens take to the streets across Iran. Today is also marked as Cyrus the Great day, an icon of justice and human rights.

For centuries, oppressive rulers have claimed that they are following the path of Cyrus the Great. At the same time, they committed heinous crimes against defenseless people and freedom fighters and lined their pockets with national assets.

However, Iranian citizens have frankly rejected any various tiers of tyrannies. They would neither return under a monarchic dictatorship nor remain under a religious one. “Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or a Supreme Leader,” they chant.

On the quest for freedom, they sacrificed their best. Nevertheless, the anti-regime demonstrations continue despite the regime’s brutality and bloodshed.

According to the Iranian opposition Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK/PMOI), the regime has killed more than 400 citizens, injured tens of thousands, and detained over 20,000 in the past 44 days. The MEK has published the names of 260 killed protesters.
