It has been sixteen days since the protests began in Khuzestan<\/a> province. These protests, which initially started due to the water shortages, have turned political, continued, spread to other cities. People have been targeting the regime and its Supreme Leader in their slogans. The regime has increased its oppressive measures. Over 12 people<\/a> have been killed in Khuzestan in the past few days, and to freely oppress people, the regime has imposed an internet blackout in Khuzestan.<\/p>\n Yet, the regime has so far failed in controlling society by taking these measures.<\/p>\n On Friday, July 30, dozens of mothers<\/a> of the victims of the November 2019 protests<\/a> in Tehran started a march and protests in solidarity with the people of Khuzestan.<\/p>\n While holding the pictures of their slain loved ones, they marched and chanted anti-regime slogans and encouraged people to rise against the mullahs\u2019 regime.<\/p>\n In this regard, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the opposition\u2019s president-elect, said:<\/p>\n \u201cHail to the brave mothers of the November 2019 martyrs who have risen to seek justice for their children and the children of Khuzestan. Your cries are the cries of Iran, seeking justice for 42 years of slaughter, executions, torture, plunder, poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n \n Hail to the brave mothers of the Nov. 2019 martyrs who have risen to seek justice for their children and the children of #Khuzestan<\/a>.
