Iran regime Brutal Suppression Inspires More Citizens to Protest

On Saturday, May 28, 2022, citizens took to the streets in Abadan for the fourth consecutive night, showing solidarity with the grieving families of the victims of the collapsed Metropol twin towers and venting their anger over the regime’s 43 years of misery, crimes, mismanagement, and massacres.

The regime’s poor response to the Metropol collapse fueled public anger. In the first hours known as the golden time, the mullahs dispatched several anti-riot forces and armored vehicles instead of sending relief forces. “Death to this velayat for all these years of crimes,” outraged citizens chanted in Abadan.

Videos circulated on social media show the people of Tehran, Shahr-e Rey, Andimeshk, Behbahan, Qom, Minoo Island, and Susangerd joining protests. “Death to the dictator,” chanted Tehran and Shahr-e Rey citizens, turning mourning ceremonies into anti-regime protests.
