In a desperate and exasperated reaction to people's nationwide uprising on the occasion of Ashura on Sunday, senior officials of the clerical regime said: "Since a while ago, based on this assessment that on the day of Ashura there should be a historical lining up of forces, Rajavi hired a number of rioters for that day." They reiterated: "Terrorist forces including the People's Mojahedin Organization (PMOI/MEK) and foreign agents who have penetrated, instigate unrest and riots in Iran." While announcing that they have arrested a number of members of the PMOI, they promised that "the judiciary will crush them and in particular the PMOI with iron fist." (State-run media, December 28 and December 29).

The Social Command Headquarters of the PMOI will provide further information on the names and particulars of those who were slain in Tehran and other cities in due course.

The Iranian Resistance calls on all Iranians to gather information on those who were slain in the uprising, in particular on the day of Ashura and send them to the offices of the Iranian Resistance in various countries.
