60 years of resistance: The PMOI’s unyielding fight for Iran’s freedom
As the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) marks its 60th anniversary, we commemorates not just a historical milestone, but six decades of an uninterrupted and relentless struggle for liberty. For fourteen years under the Shah’s monarchic dictatorship and forty-six years under the brutal religious tyranny of the mullahs, the PMOI has waged its campaign for a free Iran without a single day of pause. This extraordinary endurance is rooted in an unwavering loyalty to the Iranian people and a clear, democratic vision for the nation’s future—a cause for which generations of its members have paid the ultimate price, forging an undying legacy that now illuminates the path to liberation.
Black Friday: The Pioneering Role of Women in the Anti-Shah Movement
September 8, 1978 (17 Shahrivar 1357), later remembered as “Black Friday,” stands as one of the bloodiest and most pivotal days in modern Iranian history. Despite the imposition of martial law, thousands of Tehran residents—led courageously by women at the forefront—flooded Jaleh Square (renamed Shohada Square after the revolution) demanding freedom, justice, and an end to tyranny.
Many women brought their young children. The Shah’s army opened fire on this peaceful demonstration, killing hundreds of women and thousands of citizens, igniting nationwide outrage, grief, and solidarity.
Execution of Political Prisoner Mehran Bahramian in Isfahan’s Dastgerd Prison
Early this morning, Iranian authorities executed political prisoner Mehran Bahramian, 32, at Dastgerd Prison in the city of Isfahan. Bahramian, originally from the city of Semirom in Isfahan Province, had been arrested in connection with the nationwide protests following the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022. According to Mizan, the official news agency of Iran’s judiciary, Bahramian was accused of involvement in an alleged attack on a security forces’ vehicle on 31 December 2022, in the Semirom region. The report claims that Mohsen Rezaei, a member of Iran’s security forces, was killed in the incident. Bahramian was convicted of moharebeh (“waging war against God”), a charge frequently used against political dissidents and protestors in Iran.
Iran’s Education Crisis Deepens as Nearly One Million Students Drop Out
As concerns mount over the rising number of children and adolescents leaving school in Iran, the regime’s Minister of Education has admitted that nearly one million students are currently out of school. In an interview with the state-run ILNA news agency, Minister Alireza Kazemi confirmed that 950,000 children have either dropped out or never enrolled. He claimed the Ministry of Education has “person-by-person” statistics and dismissed reports suggesting the real number could be twice as high. However, this contrasts sharply with earlier remarks by Farshad Ebrahimpour, a member of the regime’s Parliament Education Commission. In October 2024, Ebrahimpour revealed that two million students had not registered for the 2024–2025 academic year, blaming widespread poverty and families’ inability to cover education costs.
