Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), while saluting the rebellious youth of Iranshahr, strongly condemned the brutal attacks on the people of this city and the destruction of the Sunni mosque. She called on the youth to support the people who had come under attack. Mrs. Rajavi added: Through executions and the destruction of mosques and prayer site, the ruling clergies are desperately trying to prevent the uprising and protest of the deprived people of Baluchistan. These criminal acts will only increase the residents’ outrage and hatred towards this regime.
