Iran Protests: MEK Resistance Units Report of the Growing Bravery of People
The bravery of the Iranian people has been underscored by each of the reports prepared by the network of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) since the start of Iran’s nationwide uprising. Recently, these reports, based on information from the MEK’s network of “Resistance Units”, have concluded that fear of a popular revolution has become prevalent within the regime’s camp.
Founded in 2013, the MEK’s Resistance Units are a highly organized underground network of men and women who have been playing a leading role in the major protests in Iran since 2017. They act as the trailblazers of the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom and democracy.
Violence Against Iranian Women Backfires, Leads to Iran Revolution
Violence against Iranian women to enforce the compulsory Hijab on them has been a pillar of the mullahs’ rule since the outset. By doing so, they had enchained the entire society, quashing all opposition and protests.
The inhuman policy, however, finally backfired this September after Mahsa Amini died in the custody of Morality Police. Today, Iran is on the brink of change, and women are leading a revolution for freedom and equality for themselves and the nation.
On the eve of International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we glance over what has happened to women in Iran over the past year since November 25, 2021.

According to sources from the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the regime’s forces have killed 640 people and arrested over 30,000.
Death by Baton
With the start of nationwide protests in Iran, we have witnessed high levels of violence carried out on the streets. So significant that an overwhelming number of protesters have been killed by brutal hidings and multiple blows of batons.
No sound of bullets was heard being fired in the major cities, no Kalashnikov was fired, but still the protesters who would have been the targets for those shots are silently killed and buried in the city commotion.
