Demonstrators reiterated that nationwide uprising of the Iranian people sounded the death knell for the regime. They emphasized that the mullahs are trying in vain to overcome their incurable crises and problems by cracking down on Ashraf residents. They said Ashraf was the home of PMOI members and the Iranian people’s hope and no one can drive its residents out. By the same token, the Iranian people’s nationwide uprising will continue despite all suppressive measures.
Carrying placards in defense of Ashraf residents, demonstrators in their resolutions stressed that defense of Ashraf and the PMOI members residing there is a national duty of all Iranians and any attack on Ashraf is attack on people of Iran.
