On Thursday, September 22, despite the clerical regime’s suppressive measures and shutting or slowing down the Internet and disrupting social media, the nationwide uprising spread to more than 100 cities in 30 provinces.

It wrote: “Unfortunately, we witnessed the death of 17 people in last night’s unrest in some cities of our country on September 21.”

The regime intends to turn the state-controlled Friday prayers into counterdemonstrations against the people’s uprising to boost the morale of its terrified forces and prepare the ground for more killings.

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), in her message at the beginning of the school year addressed to the rebellious youth of the country, said, defy helplessness and despair with a profound belief in change. Iran has set her sight on your extensive force of hope and perseverance. Freedom and people’s sovereignty are within reach more than ever.

Regarding the disruption on the Internet and its shutdown, Mrs. Rajavi said the Iranian regime has turned to Internet shutdown and blocking social media in a bid to prevent the spread of Iran protest news and images. However, the Iranian people’s cry for freedom cannot be extinguished. The world must condemn this cruel censorship and provide Iran unhindered Internet access.
