Iranian Resistance message to the World
Overthrowing the mullahs’ regime is the firm demand of the Iranian people.
Uprisings in November 2019 & January 2020 represent the people’s dire commitment to implement regime change.
With their protests, strikes, and activities of PMOI/MEK Resistance Units inside Iran, the people of Iran move closer to overthrowing the regime.
It is up to the international community to hear this message:
This regime should not be allowed to obtain even a single bullet to use against the Iranian people;
It should not pocket even a single dollar in oil revenues to fund terrorism & suppression;
It should not spend even a single dollar out of revenues that belong to the Iranian people.
The Iranian Resistance seeks the restoration of six UN Security Council resolutions against the regime.
The Iranian Resistance demands an extension of international sanctions against any form of arms trade with this regime.
Regime leaders must face justice in international courts for the killing of 120,000 Iranians, including:
30,000 political prisoners massacred in 1988;
Over 1,500 Iranian protesters killed in November 2019.
The world must prevent the mullahs in Iran from torturing political prisoners, including exposing them to the novel coronavirus.
The global community must recognize the right to resist against the religious tyranny by Iran’s rebellious youth, Resistance Units & the Iranian people.
