On Saturday, November 12, 2022, university students resume anti-regime protests in Tehran and other cities. They warned the regime about executing detained protesters, chanting: “This is the last message; we uprise if you execute,” referring to 227 regime MPs’ call for executing detained protesters on November 6.
“Imprisoned students must be freed” and “Students; raise your voices and shout for your rights,” they chanted. Simultaneously, defiant youths continued anti-regime activities, attacking pro-regime banners and Revolutionary Guards bases. The nationwide strike continued in Saqqez and other areas.
In Tehran, dozens of citizens rallied outside the notorious Evin prison, seeking their detained loved ones’ whereabouts. Following the regime’s crime in Evin prison on October 15, prisoners’ families frequently rallied outside the prison. However, officials refuse to notify them about their children’s fate.
November 12 marked the 58th 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 220 cities. The regime has killed more than 550 citizens, injured tens of thousands, and detained over 30,000. The MEK has published the names of 402 killed protesters.
