During the recent nationwide pro-democracy protests, the Resistance Units played a pivotal role:

Organising and Leading: They organised and sustained the protests, ensuring they remained focused on regime change. Specifically, at immense personal risk, members of the Resistance Units embedded within protests bravely initiated impactful chants such as “Death to the Dictator,” directly challenging the regime’s existence.

Countering Regime Tactics: They countered the regime’s attempts to undermine protests by identifying and expelling regime infiltrators from protesters’ ranks.

Moral Support: Their actions against repressive forces lifted the spirits of protesters, fostering a prolonged resistance movement.

Maintaining the flame of resistance: The Resistance Units have through their activities been instrumental in keeping the flame of resistance alive in the aftermath of the crackdown on the 2022 uprising. They have been instrumental in popularising the rallying cries of “Women, Resistance, Freedom” and “Down with the Oppressor, be it the Shah or the Leader (Khamenei)”.Shape
