In support of the Iranian opposition’s annual convention and to reiterate their determination to topple the mullahs’ theocratic rule in Iran, 5,000 members of the Resistance Units sent video messages as part of the Free Iran 2022 campaign. The slogan “We can and we must,” which was made popular by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), appeared in messages from all over Iran.

On Friday, May 8, the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK Iran) reported that over 40000 people have died of the novel coronavirus in 314 cities checkered across all of Iran’s 31 provinces.

Resistance units of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK Iran) across Iran have been increasing their anti-regime activities over the past week by installing posters of Massoud Rajavi, the Iranian Resistance leader, and Maryam Rajavi, the President of the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), across the country.

The Resistance Units of Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI/MEK Iran) posted banners carrying pictures and messages of Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and Massoud Rajavi, the Leader of the Iranian Resistance, in different parts of Tehran, including Qoddousi, Qasr, Khajeh Nassir Tousi and Sabalan streets, as well as in Quds City on Monday 31,2019.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) reported activities of MEK Iran‘s Resistance Units including posting banners carrying pictures and messages of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the NCRI, and Mr. Massoud Rajavi, the Leader of the Iranian Resistance, in Tehran, as well as in cities of Ahvaz, Abadan, Rasht, Karaj, Sirjan, and Isfahan.

On Tuesday, the state-run Tabnak daily published an opinion piece about the recent broadcast forced confessions of protesters who were arrested during the November Uprising. The article, written by Majlis (parliament) member Mahmoud Sadeghi, urged the regime to “present undeniable documents to the public,” rather than broadcasting forced confessions.

The MEK Iran Resistance Units inside Iran bravely put up posters of Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and Massoud Rajavi, the Iranian Resistance’s Leader, in several areas of Tehran, despite the Iranian regime’s suppressive measures and the increased state of alertness of the security forces.

The Resistance units of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI/MEK) across Tehran conducted a major act of rebellion against the regime on Sunday night, by hanging up posters of MEK Leaders Maryam Rajavi and Massoud Rajavi with anti-regime quotes in different parts of the city.

For more than ten days, the people of Iran have been participating in one of the country’s most widespread protests in recent history. The current uprising started just after the regime announced that fuel prices would be sharply increased.

An article published in Mojahedin.org on Tuesday described how the  MEK and its resistance units created the foundation upon which the ongoing uprising was built. The article, written by Dr. Behrouz Puyan, political science expert from Tehran, further explains how the MEK’s resistance units will lead to a revolution that will topple the corrupt regime.
Dr. Puyan believes that the Iranian Resistance is close to toppling the mullahs’ regime and that revolution is imminent. According to Puyan, the Resistance stands so close to victory because of the work that has been done over the past four decades by the MEK.

In Dr. Puyan’s article, he wrote that Massoud Rajavi, the historical leader of the MEK, called for the creation of the resistance units in Iran. With these resistance units, Rajavi established bonds between people working on the revolution from within society and those revolutionaries from the core of the MEK.

This time-tested strategy has proved to be effective in the current uprising that began last December and has continued for the last ten months. The MEK’s resistance units have successfully organized and led protests and strikes across Iran, despite massive efforts by the regime to suppress the uprising. Now, according to Puyan, the MEK, has become the target of a demonization campaign by the regime and its affiliates both inside Iran and abroad.

Dr. Puyan concludes from Iran’s state-run media and quotes from regime officials that the mullahs are concerned about the MEK’s resistance units and their ability to affect the stability of the regime. Puyan notes that the regime has gone so far as to emphasize the importance of other resistance groups, hoping to downplay the influence of the
National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and the MEK.

Of course, though many other so-called opposition groups have now surfaced, the MEK has spent the last forty years opposing the mullahs. According to Dr. Puyan’s article, the MEK is best equipped to plan and direct the country towards a true revolution.

Dr. Puyan writes that the MEK’s organized structure allows it to influence events on the ground. He emphasizes that the regime has resorted to intimidation tactics, such as an increase in the use of torture and executions. Puyan stresses that these brutal efforts at suppression inevitably accelerate revolution.

As a result, writes Dr. Puyan, resistance units are essential in directing and organizing the revolution and breaking the atmosphere of intimidation at critical junctures.

Over the ten months of the uprising, the MEK has developed and implemented their resistance units. These teams, which now form a large network, are in direct contact with the Iranian people.

Resistance units, concluded Dr. Puyan, are injecting new life into Iranian society and propelling the uprising forward by organizing and leading the movement.
