The political prisoner, Abdol-Hamid Mir Baluch Zehi\u2019s execution took place on the anniversary of the December 27, 2009 uprising. In the early hours of Saturday, the defiant youths also set fire to the entrance of the mobilization center of the IRGC in Hamedan. Simultaneously, large banners of Khamenei and Qassem Soleimani were set on fire in Isfahan. The activities of the defiant youth, which took place at the height of the regime\u2019s security measures, were enthusiastically welcomed by local residents.
