Different sectors of society, including retirees of the regime’s Social Security Organization and Iran’s disabled community, are on the streets demanding their rights and adherence to existing laws by the regime. The uprising has reached at least 282 cities, leading to the death of over 750 individuals and the arrest of more than 30,000 people by the regime’s forces, as reported by the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
In response to the regime’s execution wave and terrorist attacks, brave youths and MEK Resistance Units have initiated anti-regime actions across ten cities, including Tehran. These actions include the burning of billboards featuring Khamenei and Khomeini, and attacking regime-related buildings and bases.
Meanwhile, retirees and pensioners are protesting poor economic conditions and insufficient pensions in cities nationwide, following a weekly trend. Pensioners, grappling with deteriorating living standards, decry the government’s refusal to adjust their pensions in accordance with the inflation rate and the fluctuating value of the rial.
