The Iranian Resistance hails all the protesters who, after dozens of working years, are deprived of their most basic rights, and calls on all people especially the brave young people to support and to stay in solidarity with their protest. The path to realization of a dignified life for the Iranian people is to have public empathy and solidarity to overthrow the regime, which is the source of all ills that our people have been grappling with over the past 38 years.<\/p>\n
