Protest gathering of Mojahedin families in Tehran's Behesht Zahra cemetery

Simultaneous with the Organization of Islamic Conference's meeting in Tehran, large groups of families of Mojahedin martyrs and political prisoners gathered yesterday in the Iranian capital's Behesht-e Zahra cemetery to protest the clerical regime's repressive policies and human rights abuses.

The families gathered in section 91 of the cemetery despite unprecedented security measures by the regime and chanted slogans against the regime's leaders, Khamenei and Khatami, and in support of the National Liberation Army and the Resistance's leaders.

The protesters condemned the regime's efforts to take advantage of the OIC summit to legitimize their atrocities in the name of Islam.

The Revolutionary Guards attacked the gathering of Mojahedin families and arrested and took away dozens of people, including elderly mothers.
