NCRI – Activists of Iran’s main opposition group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), have been engaged in an extensive campaign across Iran to mark the organization’s 50th anniversary.
The activities throughout the country were carried out despite a harsh crackdown by the fundamentalist regime and at great personal risk.
In Tehran’s famous Freedom Square signs were put up commemorating 50 years of life of the PMOI (or Mujahedin-e Khalq, MEK) in broad daylight.
Brave residents of Tehran, who are part of the PMOI’s social network inside Iran, also hoisted a large banner bearing the image of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance.

In another district of Tehran, residents hoisted a large banner with the emblem of the PMOI (MEK) from a bridge.
In the capital and elsewhere, posters with writings in support of the PMOI’s 50-year struggle for a democratic and free Iran were attached to walls, public signs and telephone booths in public areas.
Other cities and towns where similar activities have taken place thus far include: Kermanshah (western Iran), Hamedan (western Iran), Karaj (north-west of the capital), Qom (south of the capital), Qazvin (northern Iran), Yasuj (southern Iran), Rasht (northern Iran), Isfahan (central Iran), Damghan (northern Iran), and Arak (central Iran), as well as villages in Lorestan Province (western Iran).
The PMOI (MEK) turns 50 on Sunday.
Scenes of such public displays of support for the Iranian opposition were filmed by the social network of the PMOI inside Iran and broadcasted on Wednesday by the opposition satellite channel Simaye Azadi (INTV) that is widely received throughout the country despite jamming by the authorities and a ban on satellite dishes.
In January 2011, the regime hanged Jafar Kazemi and Mohammad Ali Hajaghaei for promoting the PMOI and taking photos and footage of anti-regime protests and sending it to the opposition television.
