Parents of Iranian youth spearheading the ongoing uprising against the religious dictatorship, are increasingly echoing their children’s convictions and describing protests as a revolutionary movement. At a 40-day commemoration ceremony on October 29, the father of one killed protester (Reza Shahirnia) told mourners that his son described Mahsa Amini’s death as an impetus for change and stated that “there will be no revolution until my blood is shed.”
Another father of a killed protester (Kumar Daroftadeh) similarly described his son as a martyr of freedom at his funeral on October 31.
The mother of another killed protester (Roozbeh Khademian) described her son as someone who gave his life to the Iranian nation at his 40-day commemoration ceremony on November 4.
The parent of a young Iranian protester told Reuters that she felt compelled to “reclaim Iran” for her daughters and all Iranian girls in an article published on November 3.
Young Iranians say the protests, ignited by the death of Mahsa Amini in the custody of Iran's morality police, reflect what many see as a darkening future for a country ruled by hardliners seeking to tighten rigid social controls https://t.co/2radjP3zr4

Eyewitness reports from Resistance Units
- Shahr-e Ray, south of Tehran, November 4 – Along with other youths of Shahr-e-Ray we started from the main square to the cement bridge and lit a fire at each neighborhood intersection and chanted “Death to Khamenei” and “Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the Leader.” As soon as the security forces arrived, we moved on to another location. This continued until midnight, and we exhausted the regime’s forces such that they could not detain anyone.
- Mashhad, November 4 – There was a fierce clash with security forces and the place was a warzone with hit-and-run skirmishes. A young woman was shot. We took her to a nearby home. The house owners took her in as if she was their daughter and provided first aid, while I and three of my friends waited. In this revolution, humanity has been awakened and if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed the risk they took and the care they provided. I cannot describe the sense of solidarity and selflessness for the wounded girl. I came home and changed my blood-stained clothes and went back to the street. From 6:00 pm to 1:00 am, the neighborhood witnessed several clashes with security forces. The suppressive forces were clearly feared us and very tired. When it gets dark, people start to gather and chant. The older generations here tell us it is just like the revolution in 1979. This uprising will not stop.

Khamenei’s Rep in Hamburg Thrown Out of Germany
According to BILD Zeitung, the deputy head of the Blue Mosque on the Alster left the country on Wednesday evening – and thus forestalled his deportation.
Mousavifar was on the EK062 plane at 9:07 p.m. when it took off for Dubai. Actually, the deputy of the IZH (stands for Islamic Center Hamburg) should have left the country a week ago. He had resisted deportation to the last. After failing twice in court, a lawyer tried to push back the deadline for leaving the country to January 26 – but the authorities were certain: the hate mullah must not remain in Germany.

State Officials Continue to Warn Against MEK
According to the state-run Ofogh TV network, Hossein Sazoor, a state-affiliated eulogist told his audience on November 5: “Yesterday, one of my friends told me something which left me in pain. He said he met one of these rioters on the streets and asked him whether he hated the Islamic Republic more or the hypocrites. The guy responded to my friend like ‘first of all, their name is not the hypocrites. It’s called the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK). Secondly, what have they done?”
Trying to excite the audience about supporting the regime, Sazoor continued to warn the state education system why they haven’t nurtured the youth as the regime’s Supreme Leader wants them to.
During his Friday prayer sermon, Mohammad-Hossein Hosseini Hamedani, Khamenei’s representative in Alborz province said: “The rioters’ case is completely different. They should be dealt with firmly, as they have disrupted society. They are repeating the same norm-breaking actions the MEK did in the 1980s. We never forgive nor forget the MEK.”
His remarks come a few days after brave Iranians clashed with the regime’s fully-armed security forces in Karaj, Alborz province.
