Tuesday, October 25, 2022, marked the 40th day of anti-regime protests in Iran. According to the opposition Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK/PMOI), demonstrations have expanded to 198 cities to this day.
The regime has also murdered more than 400 citizens, injured tens of thousands, and detained over 20,000. The PMOI/MEK has published the names of 260 killed protesters.
As in recent days, brave college students began anti-regime protests in various cities. The Iranian opposition declared, “students held intense protests rallies in at least 30 universities.”
Qom University Students Slam Cabinet Spokesperson
In a session scheduled for speech and Q&A, Cabinet Spokesperson Ali Bahadori Jahromi attended Qom University today. However, the students slammed him and his aides with anti-regime slogans, including:
Freedom, freedom, freedom!
Students die but never give in to disgrace!
[The regime] killed our professors, replacing them with mullahs!
[Jahromi is] a liar!
Basij is a mercenary and at the end of the rope!
Disgrace; disgrace!
Remarkably, K. N. Toosi University students forced Jahromi to leave his scheduled session yesterday. They made the pro-regime meeting into an anti-regime demonstration. However, authoritarians are usually too silly and habitually repeat mistakes.
