Braving the regime\u2019s suppression, these activists displayed placards and slogans vowing to continue the fight against tyranny until the establishment of a free Iran. The Resistance Units in Zahedan described the December 2009 protests as a moment that \u201cbrought Iran\u2019s regime to its knees.\u201d Their messages emphasized that the only path forward is a \u201cdemocratic revolution,\u201d rejecting the regime\u2019s attempts to frame the people\u2019s legitimate resistance as criminal behavior. One placard defiantly read: \u201cIf the meaning of rioting and breaking structures is to rise up and resist for revolution and freedom, then yes we are all rioters and we will break the structure of the criminal mullahs\u2019 regime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/pmoi-resistance-units-in-zahedan-honor-anniversaries-of-irans-2009-and-2017-uprisings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s Regime Prevents Gathering of Families of 1980s Massacre Victims<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-330650 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/iran-tehran-khavaran-cemetry-flowers-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Families of 1988 massacre victims place flowers and photos at Khavaran, a site long known as the burial ground of the regime\u2019s atrocities and fallen freedom fighters\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/iran-tehran-khavaran-cemetry-flowers-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/iran-tehran-khavaran-cemetry-flowers-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/iran-tehran-khavaran-cemetry-flowers-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/iran-tehran-khavaran-cemetry-flowers-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/iran-tehran-khavaran-cemetry-flowers-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/iran-tehran-khavaran-cemetry-flowers.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reports indicate that security and law enforcement agents of Iran\u2019s regime prevented a group of families of political prisoners executed in the 1980s, including during the summer of 1988, from commemorating their loved ones at Khavaran Cemetery, a burial ground in Tehran associated with mass graves of executed political prisoners. Law enforcement and security agents who had been deployed at the site since the early hours of Friday, December 26, once again blocked families from entering Khavaran Cemetery by closing its gates. In addition, they prevented families from gathering at the cemetery entrance and from placing photographs of their loved ones and laying flowers. Khavaran Cemetery is the burial site of thousands of political prisoners executed in 1988, most of whom were members of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iranfocus.com\/human-rights\/56497-irans-regime-prevents-gathering-of-families-of-1980s-massacre-victims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s \u201cInvisible Citizens\u201d: How Millions Live Without Legal Identity<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-312605 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Child-labor-in-Iran-Sistan-and-Baluchestan-province-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Child labor in Iran Sistan and Baluchestan province\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Child-labor-in-Iran-Sistan-and-Baluchestan-province-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Child-labor-in-Iran-Sistan-and-Baluchestan-province-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Child-labor-in-Iran-Sistan-and-Baluchestan-province-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Child-labor-in-Iran-Sistan-and-Baluchestan-province-696x393.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Child-labor-in-Iran-Sistan-and-Baluchestan-province-745x420.jpg 745w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Child-labor-in-Iran-Sistan-and-Baluchestan-province.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A rare admission by a state-affiliated outlet exposes a century-long failure that has left millions without birth certificates, rights, or recognition. A rare and revealing admission by a state-affiliated media outlet has once again exposed one of Iran\u2019s most entrenched and devastating structural crises: the existence of millions of people living without legal identity. On December 24, 2025, the government-linked outlet Rokna published a report titled \u201cThe Limbo of the Undocumented,\u201d openly acknowledging the scale and human cost of Iran\u2019s undocumented population. These are people without birth certificates\u2014citizens whose identities have effectively been erased. They are born, grow up, work, age, and die without ever being officially recognized by the state. More than a century after Iran issued its first birth certificates, the country in 2025 still hosts a vast population for whom legal identity remains out of reach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/society\/irans-invisible-citizens-how-millions-live-without-legal-identity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-news-in-brief-news\/iran-news-in-brief-december-27-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Also, read Iran News in Brief \u2013 December 27, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS UPDATE: 08:00 AM CET PMOI Resistance Units in Zahedan Honor Anniversaries of Iran&rsquo;s 2009 and 2017 Uprisings On December 26, members [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":340920,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[234],"tags":[277],"class_list":{"0":"post-340913","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran-news-in-brief-news","8":"tag-iran-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
