Remarks by Maryam Rajavi Honoring the 60th Founding Anniversary of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran
Sixty years since the day the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran was founded. Fourteen years under the Shah’s dictatorship, and forty-six years under the religious dictatorship. Sixty years, without a single day or even an hour of pause. It may be hard to believe, but it is the absolute truth. That is why today, the PMOI lights sixty shining flames—flames that can never be extinguished. Yes, this is the generation of the hundreds of thousands, the generation of the countless, who proudly passed through the torture chambers, the firing squads, and the gallows—from the first martyr, Ahmad Rezaii, to the most recent martyrs, Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani, whose 40th day of martyrdom was marked yesterday.
PMOI Resistance Units Defy Regime’s Brutal Crackdown, Marking 60 Years of Unbroken Struggle for Freedom
On September 5, as the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) marked its 60th founding anniversary, its network of Resistance Units inside Iran sent a powerful message of defiance from the streets of Zahedan. In a direct challenge to the ruling theocracy, they held placards and displayed slogans honoring six decades of relentless struggle for a free and democratic Iran, proving that the spirit of resistance is thriving despite an escalating campaign of terror by the regime.
These courageous acts come amidst an intense wave of repression aimed at crushing dissent, particularly against PMOI supporters. Less than two months ago, the regime executed PMOI members Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani. Currently, 14 other PMOI supporters are on death row, facing imminent execution. The regime has also intensified its crackdown on the families of PMOI members, carrying out mass arrests while simultaneously attempting to erase its history of crimes by destroying the gravesites of martyrs.

Iranian Regime Executes Detainee from 2022 Protests
Mizan news agency, affiliated with Iran’s judiciary, announced that the execution of Mehran Bahramian, one of the detainees from the nationwide 2022 protests in Semirom, Isfahan, had been carried out. Just hours earlier, the Iran Human Rights Society had reported that Bahramian’s family was summoned to Isfahan for a final visit. This citizen, after spending several years in prison and enduring torture, had been released on heavy bail but was later rearrested and sentenced to death. In February 2024, the Semirom Revolutionary Court of Appeals, presided over by Judge Tavakoli, upheld the death sentences of Mehran and Fazel Bahramian, two brothers arrested during the 2022 protests.

Seven Years After “Clean Air Law,” Iran’s Pollution Crisis Deepens
Despite promises of reform, Iran’s Clean Air Law has failed to curb dangerous pollution, with officials admitting systemic failures and growing public health costs. The Iranian regime’s Vice President and Head of the Department of Environment, Shina Ansari, has acknowledged that many of the obligations under the Clean Air Law remain unfulfilled seven years after its approval. In an interview with ISNA news agency on August 24, Ansari was asked whether the law’s provisions had been fully implemented. She admitted: “It must be said no; naturally, many of the tasks have not been accomplished.” She added that the 14th government has “tried not to hide the issues and problems.”
