WITH THE LATEST NEWS OF THE IRAN PROTESTS.
Here are the latest updates on the nationwide Iran protests for regime change which erupted in mid-November. Iranians traditionally mourn their dead 40 days after their passing. The Iranian regime is desperately attempting to prevent this memorial for the protesters that it killed during the November uprising that swept the country, by arresting and systematically intimidating the families of the victims.
Iran’s regime is also torturing detained protesters. Iranian opposition leader Mrs. Maryam Rajavi has once again called on the United Nations to urgently send an international fact-finding mission to the prisons to meet with the detainees. According to the main Iranian opposition group People’s Mojahedin (PMOI), otherwise known as the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), the Iranian regime has killed more than 1500 protesters. The MEK has so far identified 587 of these martyrs.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE UPRISING:
Number of uprising cities: 191
Number of martyrs: At least 1500
Number of injured: More than 4,000
Number of detainees: More than 12,000
