In a bold display of defiance against the Iranian regime, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) Resistance Units carried out extensive protest activities coinciding with the visit of regime president Masoud Pezeshkian to Varamin in Tehran Province. Their actions—distributing leaflets and writing anti-regime slogans on walls—were a direct rejection of his presence and a condemnation of his role in human rights abuses and executions.
Widespread Calls for Pezeshkian’s Resignation
Throughout various parts of Varamin, slogans and graffiti emerged, demanding Pezeshkian’s immediate resignation and departure. Residents, who have long suffered under the regime’s repression, viewed his visit as a provocation. Some of the prominent slogans included:
- “Woman, Resistance, Freedom”
- “Pezeshkian, resign and leave—Varamin is not your place”
- “Pezeshkian, have some shame and leave Varamin”
- “Pezeshkian, get out of Varamin and Qarchak”
Many protesters referred to Pezeshkian as “Khamenei’s executioner,” underscoring his complicity in the regime’s widespread repression and brutality.
Pezeshkian: A Key Enforcer of Khamenei’s Rule
Pezeshkian, who secured his position with the direct approval of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, is widely seen as a figure deeply entrenched in the regime’s oppressive policies. Protesters labeled him as “Khamenei’s puppet” and “the implementer of Khamenei’s will,” pointing to his active role in enforcing arbitrary death sentences and cracking down on dissent, particularly targeting women and youth.
Resistance Units Escalate Their Activities
The actions of the Resistance Units in Varamin align with their broader strategy of exposing and publicly shaming key figures of oppression while fostering a spirit of defiance among the people. Activists have vowed to continue their activities across Iran, seeking to intensify public opposition and pressure against the regime and its affiliates.
The Symbolic Significance of Varamin and Qarchak
The choice of Varamin and Qarchak for these protests is highly symbolic. These areas have a long history of resisting the Iranian regime and its oppressive tactics. The latest demonstrations reaffirm the public’s determination to reject the regime and its representatives.
The Resistance Units remain steadfast in their commitment to fighting for freedom, democracy, and the overthrow of a regime that has inflicted suffering on the Iranian people. As resistance grows, so does the hope for a future free from tyranny.
