\"NCRIMrs. Maryam Rajavi: Criminal executions and blind arrests have made Baloch compatriots more determined in their uprising for overthrow<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The people of Zahedan took to the streets and demonstrated on Friday, May 5, following Friday prayers. The protestors chanted slogans such as “Khamenei is a murderer, our table is empty,” \u201cKhamenei shame on you, let go of the country,\u201d \u201cMonarchy and Velayat; a hundred years of crime,\u201d \u201cDeath to the \u00a0and “Death to the regime of execution,\u201d \u201cMy martyred brother, I\u2019ll avenge your martyrdom,\u201d \u201cwe shall fight, we shall die, but we don\u2019t accept humiliation,\u201d \u201cWe swear on the blood of those fallen that we will continue this path to the end!\u201d \u201cI will kill whoever killed my brother,\u201d Basiji, you are our ISIS,\u201d and \u201cFreedom, freedom, freedom.” Banners and placards carried messages such as “International organizations, hear the cry of the oppression of Baluchistan,” and “Solving the country’s problems by killing Baluch people, arrests, shootings, and executions!\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the presence of IRGC guards around Makki Mosque and various streets of Zahedan, the demonstrations continued. The security forces had raided various areas of Zahedan in the past few days and arrested numerous youths. Meanwhile, Khamenei’s agents executed more than 20 Baluch prisoners in different prisons in the past 6 days.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a> extended her greetings to the brave people of Zahedan and said, today’s brave rise showed that the criminal executions and blind arrests not only did not break the resolve of the Baluch compatriots in their fight against the mullahs\u2019 regime but made them more determined in the uprising and overthrow.<\/p>\n
