Nationwide uprising – Statement 150
NCRI – According to the social headquarters of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) inside the country, at 22:00 last night, August 17, a group of families of detainees of recent uprisings gathered outside Evin prison broke the silence in this area by chanting "Allahu Akbar."
It has been for over two months that families of the detainees have been gathering everyday before Evin prison and the mullahs’ court demanding a settlement of their relatives’ situation. But the authorities refrain from giving any answer to their requests.
Last night too, as for other nights, people chanted "Allahu Akbar" in other parts of Tehran, including Darakeh Saadat Abad, Shahrak-e-Gharb, Shahrak-e-Apadana, Vanak Square, Ghaem Magham street and Tehran-Pars.
