NCRI – Following an increasing wave of suppression and arrests by the mullahs’ regime in the southwestern province of Khuzestan last week, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance expressed sympathy with the families of those arrested by the State Security Forces (SSF).
Last week, the SSF units and agents of the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) attacked Seyed-ol-Shohada Mosque, arresting 80 local residents. There are a number of juveniles among the detainees.
On January 2, the families of detainees gathered outside the Khuzistan’s governor’s office, demanding the immediate release of their children and relatives.
The Iranian regime is attempting to combat the volatile state in the region by adopting such suppressive measures in Khuzistan Province.
