On Thursday, the 112th day of Iran’s nationwide uprising, the regime’s crackdown machine increased its efforts to suppress dissidents. The regime as a whole is desperate to put an end to the nationwide uprising, but the Iranian people are determined to protest against the regime as a whole.

“Poverty, corruption, high prices, onward to overthrow; Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the Leader (Khamenei); We wrote with our own blood, we are devoted to the people, we are the People’s Mojahedin at war with the mullahs; Death to Khamenei, Long live Rajavi” chanted youths in Tehran.
