For the past four decades, many people across Iran have been the victims of the IRGC\u2019s cruelty.<\/p>\n<p>This article will examine their role before the nationwide protests in 2017-2018. In the first days and months after the revolution, the IRGC expanded the regime\u2019s dominance by repressing the people in Turkmen Sahra, Kurdistan, Khuzestan, and Tabriz.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, the IRGC\u2019s members committed a wide range of atrocities. Dozens of innocent people were killed, and many forcefully disappeared. Families were destroyed, and many others were forced to leave their homes and the regions they had lived in all their lives.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/insider\/blacklist-irgc-the-major-suppressor-of-irans-protests\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Heidelberg, Germany\u2014February 4, 2023: MEK Supporters Rally in Solidarity With the Iran Revolution<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Heidelberg, Germany&mdash;February 4, 2023: MEK Supporters Rally in Solidarity With the Iran Revolution\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_wWYGSHodKA0\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FwWYGSHodKA0%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wWYGSHodKA0\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT4M27S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-02-06T08:21:57Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_wWYGSHodKA0\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FwWYGSHodKA0%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Heidelberg, Germany\u2014February 4, 2023: MEK Supporters Rally in Solidarity With the Iran Revolution<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/wWYGSHodKA0\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FwWYGSHodKA0%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Heidelberg, Germany&mdash;February 4, 2023: MEK Supporters Rally in Solidarity With the Iran Revolution\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Heidelberg, Germany\u2014February 4, 2023: MEK Supporters Rally in Solidarity With the Iran Revolution.
