Iran Uprising at a Glance – Day 53
Based partially on reporting by PMOI (MEK) Network in Iran
Iran is marking its 53rd day of the uprising across the country on Monday as protests expanded throughout the country the day before. The city of Marivan witnessed intense confrontations between locals and the regime’s oppressive security forces who were opening fire on locals using AK-47 assault rifles and shotgun pellet rounds following a burial ceremony. Brave protesters stood their ground and local activists were describing the city as a “war zone” with clashes continuing well into the night.
Protests were reported in many cities throughout the day, especially in several districts of Tehran. The cities of Tabriz, Isfahan, Shiraz Mashhad, Sarbaz, Behbahan, Yazd, Bushehr, Karaj, and Baba Heydar were also reporting similar protests against the regime.
On Monday morning the latest reports from the city of Marivan of Kurdistan Province indicated an ongoing general strike and continued confrontations between protesters and the regime’s security forces in various parts of the city. Local activists said authorities had dispatched many different security units to Marivan to quell anti-regime protests.
The people of Bukan, another city in northwest Iran, are also reportedly in the streets in solidarity with the protesters of Marivan. Protesters were seen establishing roadblocks and taking control of the streets by nightfall.
Other reports on Monday morning indicate that students at Sharif University of Technology in Tehran and the Islamic Azad University of Rasht in northern Iran were protesting and boycotting classes. Students at Noshirvani University in Babol, also in northern Iran, and Beheshti University of Tehran, among others, launched a gathering protesting the insistence by university authorities on gender segregation in the university cafeteria.

High school students have been taking to the streets on Monday in different cities, furthering the scope of today’s anti-regime protests. This includes schoolkids in the cities of Karaj, Shahriar, Sabzevar, and others chanting slogans against the mullahs’ regime.
People in the city of Siahkal of Gilan Province, northern Iran, held a ceremony in memory of Erfan Zamani, a protester killed recently by the mullahs’ security forces. Authorities had dispatched a large number of oppressive security forces to the city, who eventually opened fire on the ceremony participants. The participants stood their ground despite the crackdown and the heavy rainfall. Some reports indicate authorities had bussed in non-native security forces.

The Major Iran Protests Have Caused Fear to Shift to the Regime’s Camp
In recent days, the Iranian regime’s judiciary sentenced some of the nationwide uprising’s arrestees to Moharebeh or waging war on God, thus preparing the ground for their execution. These cruel rulings were meant to intimidate brave Iranian protesters, but it has failed as protests persist and more Iranians are joining the uprising. This has caused the fear to shift to the regime’s camp, prompting some officials to express their utter fear.
“Defendant has rights, including free access to a lawyer and informing their family members. Violating their rights is not for our benefit. Because soon, those [officials] who are now out of prison might be accused and arrested,” MP Jalil Rahimi Jahan-Abadi told the state-run Jahan-e Sanat daily on November 7.
