Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) saluted the deprived and defiant retirees and said that as long as this corrupt and plundering regime is in power, poverty, discrimination, inflation, high prices and unemployment will continue and intensify.
The continuation of the retirees’ protests reflects the resolve of the people of Iran to gain their rights. The most important usurped right is the people’s rule usurped by the evil clerical regime.
