Gallows And Bribes: Why The Regime\u2019s Desperate Campaign Against the January 2026 Martyrs Will Spell Its Downfall<\/h3>\n

\"Iran<\/p>\n

Six months after the historic January 2026 nationwide uprising, the Iranian regime is employing a dual strategy of brutal executions and psychological warfare against grieving families. In a desperate bid to project power and maintain its fragile grip on society, the regime is simultaneously fast-tracking death sentences for protesters and attempting to bribe the families of the martyrs. However, this systematic repression only exposes the regime\u2019s deep-seated desperation, demoralization within its ranks, and profound fear of the Iranian people\u2019s organized resistance.\u00a0Terrified of a resurgent uprising, the regime is weaponizing its judiciary to fast-track death sentences against young protesters, denying them basic due process to instill fear in a restive population.<\/p>\n

In the fabricated \u201cAli Khani Square\u201d case in Isfahan\u2014stemming from the nationwide protests of January 8, 2026\u2014the regime\u2019s Supreme Court confirmed the death sentences of 12 protesters on July 5, 2026. The cases have already been forwarded to the execution branch of the Isfahan Revolutionary Court, sparking widespread alarm.<\/p>\n

PMOI Resistance Units Expand Nationwide Campaign After Khamenei Funeral with Anti-Regime Actions Across Iran<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The PMOI\u2019s Resistance Units have carried out a new wave of coordinated activities across dozens of Iranian cities, combining symbolic protests, anti-regime operations, and support for political prisoners in one of the broadest nationwide campaigns in recent months.<\/p>\n

The actions unfolded around three major occasions: the funeral of former regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei, the nationwide \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d campaign, and a series of coordinated revolutionary operations targeting regime symbols. Together, they reflected a strategy of maintaining political pressure while demonstrating that organized resistance continues to operate throughout the country despite heightened security measures.<\/p>\n

As the regime organized ceremonies surrounding Khamenei\u2019s burial, Resistance Units responded with widespread public messaging rejecting both religious dictatorship and any return to monarchical rule.<\/p>\n
