Iran Uprising at a Glance – Day 110

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

Tuesday, January 3, 2022 – 8 PM GMT+1

January 3, the 110th day of the nationwide uprising, marks the third anniversary of the elimination of Qassem Soleimani, the notorious head of the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards Quds Force. Yesterday, it was reported that Britain will officially declare the IRGC, as a terrorist group following several alleged plots to kidnap or murder UK citizens.

Today, Tuesday, protesters and courageous locals across Iran expressed their hatred of Soleimani, and the regime in its entirety, by using Molotov cocktails and homemade explosives, and set to fire Soleimani’s posters, banners, placards, and billboards. The regime’s sites, along with statues and billboards symbolizing the mullahs’ dictatorship, are among other frequent targets. And people are specifically focusing on images and anything symbolizing regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his entire apparatus of suppressive forces.

Some of the cities and locations were: Navvab Expressway in the capital Tehran,  Isfahan, central Iran Maragheh university northwest Iran, Mashhad, northeast Iran, Komleh in Bushehr province, southern Iran, and Sistan and Baluchistan province, southwest Iran.

In Gilan Province, northern Iran, contract workers of the state communications company were on strike today demanding answers to their long-raised dilemmas.

 In Javanrud, western Iran, regime security forces raided people’s homes in the middle of the night and arrested many people. Locals say several dozen vehicles and hundreds of heavily armed units have been patrolling their streets.

Reacting to the latest suppressive measure, the NCRI President-elect, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, said: Khamenei’s Intelligence Ministry and IRGC attacked people’s homes in Javanrud, arresting the city’s youths to prevent the continuation & spread of Iran protests. Such cruelties only add to the Iranian people’s fury and motivation to topple the regime.
