The fans chanted slogans mocking these so-called advisors and making a huge embarrassment of this hideous pretext generated from the mullahs\u2019 repulsive principles.<\/p>\n<p>Azeri fans supporting the Tabriz team took off their shirts protesting the dire conditions of the quake stricken regions of Azerbaijan cities, especially in the winter cold, and the regime\u2019s refusal to provide the minimum necessities for these victims. These fans stood with their shirts off and chanted slogans against the mullahs\u2019 regime. In response, elements of the regime\u2019s State Security Force units severely attacked the protesters. Clashes between Azeri fans and the regime\u2019s repressive agents continued throughout the match.<\/p>\n<p>Dear athletes and sport fans,<br \/>It has been 33 years since the mullahs have committed the worst insults and gravest crimes against Iran\u2019s athletes and national heroes, and the entire people in general. Dozens of Iran\u2019s national heroes have been murdered by this infamous regime, and quake victims in Azerbaijan, Bam and other cities and towns across the country are in the harshest of conditions, with poverty and hardships engulfing the lives of millions of our compatriots. This is while the mullahs\u2019 are allocating Iran\u2019s enormous wealth for the spread of terrorism, obtaining nuclear weapons, and supporting criminals such as Bashar Assad and Nouri Maliki.<\/p>\n<p>Now is the time for all athletes and sports fans who consider athletic heroes such as Puriyaye Vali and renowned wrestler Gholamreza Takhti as their symbols, anywhere in Iran and around the world to rise against this anti-Iran regime. It is the time to rise and the mullahs are is one the verge of downfall and overthrow, and the world is taking steps towards the freedom of the great nation of Iran. Onward to freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Moslem Iskandar Filabi<br \/>Sports Commission Chairman<br \/>National Council of Resistance of Iran<br \/>December 6, 2012<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mullahs&rsquo; hideous pretext to prevent protests by youths at football matches On December 3rd during a football match between two teams from the cities of Tabriz and Tehran in the [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[175],"class_list":{"0":"post-12488","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-iran-protests","7":"tag-updated"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
