Fire Festival protests – 10
NCRI – The clerical regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) today disseminated false and preposterous reports through its media outlets like Javan Online about “the arrest of two teams of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) that intended to carry out terrorist attacks on the Fire Festival” and “sought to murder citizens, and set fire to banks and government buildings.”
Fearing a nationwide uprising on Fire Festival, the Iranian regime is making attempts in vain to beat and arrest youths while intensifying suppressive measures and spreading false rumors and reports as an empty show of force in a bid to intensify the atmosphere of fear and repression.
