Mrs. Maryam Rajavi salutes protesting youth who did not allow the blood of the martyrs to be trampled upon.
At dawn on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, criminal Basij forces opened fire on a vehicle in the Tarik-Darreh area of Hamedan, killing two young men named Mehdi Abayi and Alireza Karbasi and severely injuring another young man.
On the morning of Thursday, July 3, 2025, during the funeral procession, a large group of Hamedan residents expressed their anger and protest against the clerical regime, the IRGC, and the Basij with slogans such as “Death to the oppressor,” “I will kill those who killed my brother,” and “Our enemy is right here; they lie when they say it’s America.”
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), expressed her condolences to the bereaved families and saluted the angry and protesting youth who did not allow the blood of the fallen to be trampled upon. She stated that the killing of innocent youth in Hamedan, the attack and assault on defenseless women in Khash, the widespread arrests, and the increasing executions only deepen the people’s anger and hatred and strengthen their determination and resolve to bring about regime change.
