Iran Uprising at a Glance – Day 106

Based partially on reporting by PMOI (MEK) Network in Iran

Friday, December 30, 2022 – 8 PM GMT+1

Marking day 106 of the nationwide uprising, even some of the highest-ranking mullahs are beginning to express concern at the consequences the runaway inflation, sharply rising prices, and the bungling management of the markets by the regime might have in further undermining the mullahs’ grip on power and adding fuel to the fire of the uprising.

Today, thousands of Baluchis in different cities of Sistan and Baluchistan Province in southeast Iran took to the streets in a continuation of anti-regime protests against the mullahs’ rule.

In the provincial capital Zahedan and in a massive throng of protesters came out, chanting slogans specifically targeting the regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), and the paramilitary Basij. They were chanting, “This is the year of blood, Seyed Ali (Khamenei) will be toppled.” The protesters also chanted “IRGC, Basij, you are our ISIS,” demonstrating their rejection of the newly-appoint governor who is an IRGC Brig. Gen.

Brave women protesting in Zahedan, were seen chanting: “We don’t want a child-killing regime!”

Protesters in the city of Khash chanted anti-regime slogans, as terrified authorities dispatched many security units to the streets and used drones to monitor the local rallies.

In the city of Piranshahr, northwest Iran, locals held a ceremony for Karevan Ghader-Shokri, killed 40 days ago by the mullahs’ regime. These ceremonies, held across the country, have quickly evolved into anti-regime rallies.

In Khorramabad, western Iran, a similar ceremony was held in memory of Hossein Zarrinjuie, another protester killed by the mullahs’ regime. Many locals took part in this event, further escalating concerns among regime officials about such gatherings turning into major anti-regime protests.

Regime Refuses Handing a Martyr’s Body, People Bury His Cloth And Hold Protests

Today, locals in Izeh, southwestern Iran, held a symbolic burial ceremony for Mahmoud Ahmadi. Since the regime refused to hand over the martyr’s body, his compatriots buried his cloth instead. Reports from Izeh indicate a huge crowd gathering at Mahmoud’s funeral and chanting anti-regime protests.

Considered one of the hotbeds of the nationwide Iran protests, Izeh has been the scene of many anti-regime demonstrations since the beginning of what many consider a revolution in the making.

Mahmoud Ahmadi and Hossein Saidi were killed during a heavy raid by the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) forces. The IRGC used heavy machine guns and other weapons to shoot down the defiant youths taking shelter in a home in a village near Izeh.

Iran: Pioneer Women Lead Revolution Against Misogynist Regime – Day 105

One of the main characteristics of Iran’s nationwide uprising is the presence of women and girls on the front line of the battle against the misogynistic rule of the Islamic Republic. ‘Misogynism’, in the essence of Mullah’s system, has overshadowed the regime’s ideological and political structure entirely.

Therefore, the freedom and liberation of Iranian women from the constraints imposed by the mullahs equal the destruction of the Islamic Republic. Iranian women and girls have turned the mandatory hijab into one of the biggest challenges of the Mullahs during the current uprising.
