Rebellious youths set fire to a police car in Boroujen, a Basij base in Gorgan, a mullahs’ seminary in Kamiyaran, and a police trailer in Saqqez. Youths in Sanandaj attacked a base of Basij agents.
The state-run news agency IRNA wrote on October 26, “One of the IRGC intelligence agents in Malayer, Hamadan province, was shot and killed when chasing some riot leaders.”
Regime forces attacked the protest gathering of doctors outside Tehran Medical Council on Wednesday, wounded a number of them, and arrested several doctors. Following this brutal attack, the chairman and deputy of the board of directors of Greater Tehran Medical Council resigned. Doctors in Tehran protested against the security forces for preventing the treatment of the wounded and using ambulances for suppressive measures.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said that the raging storm that spread across Iran yesterday showed that the youth and women of Iran deserve to take control of their destiny in a democratic Iran. They can and must uproot the velayat-e faqih (absolute rule of the clergy) and restore freedom in Iran and peace in the region.
