In this report, we will highlight some of the recent activities of MEK Resistance Units in Iran during the past week. One of the most notable activities of MEK Resistance Units in the past week was the projection of images of NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi and the Iranian Resistance leader Massoud Rajavi on walls in public places. This act is considered a red line for the regime in Tehran, and anyone arrested on this charge will surely face heavy sentences or even the death penalty. While these acts inspire hope among the people in Iran, they are also very risky. Many Resistance Units have been arrested, and projecting images on walls in public places also has its own difficulties, including procuring equipment, avoiding surveillance, and escaping security forces. Presently, remnants of the Pahlavi dictatorship are attempting to detract the Iranian people&#039;s uprising through their loud propaganda campaigns, falsely claiming that Iranians are seeking a return to Shah&#039;s era. In response, the MEK Resistance Units have joined in the chorus of voices affirming that the people of Iran who demand genuine democracy and reject all forms of dictatorship, including the rule of the Shah and the mullahs. This is why the Iranian people and MEK Resistance Units echo one of the main slogans of the Iranian people during the uprising started in late 2022. &quot;Down with the oppressor, be it the Shah or the supreme leader Ali Khamenei.&quot; Resistance Units also carried out various activities in many cities. In the cities of Zahedan, southeast Iran, and Shahr-e Kord, western Iran, Resistance Units distributed leaflets in classrooms and wrote anti-regime slogans on blackboards. Their leaflets read &quot;Down with Khamenei, Viva Rajavi, Rajavi is our leader.&quot; They also spread their slogans across cities among them &quot;Viva Rajavi, we swear to the blood of martyrs that we will resist to the end.&quot; MEK Resistance Units also sent messages to the Iranian people and MEK members in Albania expressing their will and determination to overthrow the Iranian regime and replace it with a democratic and secular government. MEK Resistance Units continue to play a vital role in the fight for a democratic Iran. Despite the risks involved, they remain committed to their cause and continue to inspire hope among the Iranian people. The regime in Tehran considers their activities a threat, and the world needs to support the people of Iran and their quest for democracy. *** Content on the PMOI\/MEK&#039;s official YouTube channel is 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;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIt is absurd to think the MEK are a bunch of people in Albania rallying behind Maryam Rajavi every week or two and chanting some slogans.
