This is what that looks like.
Here you see resistance units supporting National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI-US). These are individuals who, despite immense risk, are organizing inside Iran.
After the massacres of the past few weeks, more and more people have reached the same conclusion: meaningful change will not happen without resistance. Many now believe that to end repression, they must actively stand up and fight back.
I personally see signs of rapid expansion in these resistance networks and the early formation of what could become a national liberation movement in Iran.
Now it is the international community’s turn — to recognize this right and to stand with the Iranian people in their struggle for freedom and self-determination. #NLAofIran
🔵قسمتی از سخنرانی خانم #مریم_رجوی به مناسبت #روز_جهانی_زن : برای آن زنان و جوانان گلولهباران شده، آن هزاران جان شیفته، آن سرهای پرشور که متلاشی شد، آن قلبهای پرامید که از هم شکافته شد، آن چشمهای زیبا که نابینا شد و آن دهها هزار رزمندهٔ آزادی که در بند و اسارتاند، اما مقاومت میکنند، برمیخیزیم و یک دقیقه دست میزنیم.

Students were heard chanting: "Down with the oppressor, be it the Shah or the mullahs," and "No to monarchy, no to the Supreme Leader; Yes to democracy and equality."

What an incredible woman, being able to speak of such horror that’s happened to her and her family takes great courage. I also recognised many of the brave women standing behind her, each with their own stories of deep personal loss at the hands of the dictatorships of shah and mullahs. The people of Iran really deserve better after a century of fighting for basic rights, freedom and democracy!

Women’s leadership defined NCRI's #IWD2026 conference. This video revamps the full event—from @Maryam_Rajavi’s keynote to global backing for the NCRI Ten-Point Plan. Watch, share, and amplify the call for a free democratic Iran.
Iran shifts repression from courtrooms to secret detention centers after the January 2026 uprising, our new report reveals unofficial facilities, 1980s-style coerced confessions, enforced disappearances, and deaths in custody.
Full investigation by Iran HRM documents night raids, transfers to undisclosed sites, overcrowded prisons, denial of lawyers, and televised forced confessions as tools of protest containment.

'People are not chanting any slogan for the Shah'
Laila Jazayeri accuses the Iranian regime of 'planting' support for Reza Pahlavi within protest crowds in order to derail them.

‘The regime is using violence and deception but the alternative is ready to take over.’
Director of the Association of Anglo-Iranian Women in the UK Laila Jazayeri gives her take on the current anti-government protests taking place in Iran and why it is happening.
Joint statement @amnesty and @hrw on IRAN:
Iranian authorities have unleashed a deadly crackdown on protesters across the country since 28 December 2025, marked by security forces’ unlawful use of force and firearms and mass arbitrary arrests.
Security forces, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran’s police force, known by its Persian acronym FARAJA, have unlawfully used rifles, shotguns loaded with metal pellets, water cannon, tear gas and beatings to disperse, intimidate and punish largely peaceful protesters.
The crackdown has resulted in the killing of at least 28 protesters and bystanders, including children, in 13 cities across eight provinces between 31 December 2025 and 3 January 2026.

We must echo the voices rising in Iran.
The Iranian people demand freedom and democracy and they will stand firm against any dictator for their rights.

#Iran: We're following the ongoing protests, and reports of violence, with concern.
@volker_turk: I call on the authorities to uphold the rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly. All individuals must be able to protest peacefully and express their grievances.
Iran in shutdown as protesters storm governor's office, crowds chant 'Death to Khamenei' “Video footage circulating online and shared by the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) shows intense clashes between protesters and security forces in cities, including Shiraz, Isfahan, Kermanshah and Tehran. In the videos, protesters chant anti-regime slogans and confront security forces in crowded streets.”

Day six of demonstrations across Iran. I have been monitoring the situation closely and reports indicate growing confrontation between protesters and security forces—a pattern spreading nationwide. I have received alarming reports of 8 protesters killed during these demonstrations.
I call on the Iranian authorities to respect the rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly, and refrain from using excessive force against peaceful protesters.
The violent response witnessed during the Woman, Life, Freedom movement must not be repeated. A functioning civic space is essential for any society. People must be able to voice dissent and participate in peaceful protest without fear of reprisal.
Fellow compatriots, architects of the #IranProtests and rebellious youth; students and merchant,
The relentless surge of your righteous anger is rising and gathering momentum by the hour.
A thousand salutes to you, the forces of the democratic revolution and the great Army of Freedom of the people of Iran, from Azna, Lordegan, and Kuhdasht to Fasa, Fooladshahr, Tehran, Hamedan, Mashhad, Dorud, Arak, Shiraz, and all other cities that have risen in defiance and resolutely chosen change and revolution.
Thousands of salutations to the martyrs of the December 2025–January 2026 uprising, whose blood now courses through the veins of the rebellious youth, surging with unquenchable force.

Angry Protesters set fire to the main police station and several regime vehicles during intense clashes. Scenes from the protest show fierce confrontations with the suppressive forces.
