The Iranian Resistance Units, a network of activists of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) across Iran, have been organizing various activities that are louder calls for regime change. The Resistance Units commemorated the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in the summer of 1988 based on a fatwa by Khomeini. The Resistance Units bravely took to graffiti in public places quoting Maryam Rajavi writing:

Western governments have been prone to a misguided approach to Iran for most of its 41-year existence. This is never more evident than when someone highlights the lack of accountability for Iranian human rights abuses. The mullahs are responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of domestic activists and dissidents, and yet none of the perpetrators of these killings have faced charges in the international criminal court or even an independent investigation into their conduct.<\/p>\n
