Iran Uprising \u2013 No. 65<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\nTerrified of the eruption of another nationwide uprising on the 40th<\/sup> day memorial of the martyrs of the November uprising, the clerical regime not only cut off the Internet <\/a>but also mobilized all of its suppressive forces, including the IRGC, the State Security Force, the Bassij, plainclothes and intelligence ministry agents, as well as the mounted and dismounted anti-riot units in many parts of Tehran and other cities in a frantic effort to prevent the ceremonies honoring the martyrs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In some cities such as Karaj and Shiraz, the regime deployed helicopter surveillance. Elsewhere, like Orumiyeh, snipers took positions on rooftops.<\/p>\n December 26 – Karaj, #Iran<\/a> \u2014 People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) December 26, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Nevertheless, in many cities such as Karaj, Shahriar, Isfahan, Sari, Mashhad, Shiraz, Behbahan, Orumiyeh and Yazdan-Shahr, people gathered at the martyrs\u2019 graves and pledged to uphold their ideals and continue their path. They also staged gatherings in streets or squares, chanting anti-regime slogans.<\/p>\n In Karaj, the regime deployed helicopters and dispatched herds of its plainclothes agents to Behesht-e Sakineh cemetery, but failed to prevent the large presence of people who had gone there to pay homage to the martyrs. The crowd was chanting, \u201cdeath to the dictator,\u201d \u201cwe did not sacrifice to compromise and praise the murderous leader.\u201d Suppressive forces attacked the crowd on site or those approaching the cemetery and arrested a number of them.<\/p>\n Dec 26 – Karaj, #Iran<\/a><\/p>\n Brave Iranians defying the regime’s crackdown & holding a ceremony for civilians killed by security forces in the Nov uprising.<\/p>\n Chant: Sign: \u2014 People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) December 26, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n In Shahriar, many people took part in a memorial for Nader Momeni.
