These are activities of the Iranian Resistance Units, the internal network of the Iranian opposition, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK). This campaign primarily began in late March 2021, following the Iranian Resistance\u2019s call to boycott the mullahs\u2019 farce elections. In April, The Resistance Units, carried out anti-regime activities in over 250 places in 27 provinces. The call for a boycott very quickly turned into a nationwide effort and a widespread social movement in Iran. In recent weeks, various sectors of society have called for a nationwide boycott and chanted \u201cWe\u2019ve heard so many lies that we won\u2019t vote anymore.\u201d \u201cA strong no to the religious dictatorship,\u201d \u201cOur vote is regime change and boycott of the sham elections,\u201d and \u201cDown with Khamenei\u201d. These activities were welcomed by the public and were a boost of inspiration for millions of Iranians who demand change. Also, in major cities such as Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, and Mashhad, MEK supporters installed slogans in support of Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). This is while supporting the MEK is considered as \u201cenmity against God\u201d and is punished severely. The Resistance Units risk being arrested, imprisoned, and tortured while carrying out these activities that aim to break the atmosphere of fear imposed by the mullahs and give heart to millions of outraged people who demand regime change. Referring to these activities, the State-run media reflects the regime\u2019 fear of the widespread boycott of the presidential election. The state-run Resalat daily on May 20 underlined that \u201cThe current situation targets the system\u2019s security and fuels calls for regime change.\u201dTherefore, the brave campaigns of the MEK\u2019s network inside Iran express the Iranian people\u2019s long desire for regime change, freedom and democracy. *** Content on the PMOI\/MEK&#039;s official YouTube channel are not subject to copyright if the source is mentioned ***\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the month of May, over 310 areas in all of Iran\u2019s provinces witnessed activities calling for a boycott of the regime\u2019s sham presidential elections in June.

The couple were cousins identified by the last name of Pir-Ostovan. The woman\u2019s first name is not known. They were arrested 8 years ago on Qazvin-Karaj Highway and sentenced to death in their first court hearing. Exactly one week before, the clerical regime executed Kobra Fatemi in the Central Prison of Yazd. More than 4300 people have been executed in Iran during Rouhani\u2019s tenure. As of now, they include 118 women. Iran: Coronavirus Death Toll Exceeds 303,500 Over 303,500 people have died of the novel coronavirus in Iran, according to reports tallied by the Iranian opposition People&#039;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran as of Tuesday. The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 80,327, around a fourth of the actual figure. \u201cThe fact that a number of people have contracted the Indian and African variants in some of parts of [Tehran province] has increased the spread of these mutations to other provinces,\u201d said the dean of Iran Medical Sciences University on Tuesday. \u201cIn this trend of the illness we are also witnessing mutations inside the country and this process will most likely continue. The mutations are not limited to those of foreign countries,\u201d this official added, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
