May 23, 2022—This week marked the 50th anniversary of the death of Mohammad Hanifnejad, Saeid Mohsen and Ali Asghar Badizadegan, the founders of People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). Hanifnejad, Moshen, and Badizadegan, who had founded the PMOI/MEK in September 1965, were executed by the Shah regime on May 25, 1972.
In this regard, members of the Iranian Resistance Units, MEK’s network inside Iran, commemorated the fallen founders of the MEK across the country throughout the week, in cities such as Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad, Khoramabad, Beluchestan, Yazd, Rasht, Islam Abad, Karaj, Ahwaz, Shiraz, Qom, Urmia, Qazvin, Gorgan, Bandar Deylam, Ardabil, Mahshahr, Rafsanjan, Babolsar, Lorestan, Behbahan, Shahr-e Rey, and Kerman.
The MEK Resistance Units offer a breakthrough and are a beacon for uprising and freedom. They are the extension of the more than 120,000 MEK members who have sacrificed their lives for freedom in more than five decades. They represent the rebellious and defiant generation and play a key role in nationwide uprisings of December 2017 and November 2019.
Their commemoration of Hanifnejad, Moshen, and Badizadegan are proof that the sacrifices made by the Iranian people in the struggle for freedom have not been in vain and continue to resonate across the Iranian society to this day.
In recent days, the Resistance Units took to graffiti in public places writing messages and slogans in memory of the executed founders of the MEK. They installed handwritten slogans, banners and images on the walls in various places of Iran main cities despite Iranian regime’s suppression.
