Protests persist despite crackdown, says Pahlavi
Iranians continue to resist despite a sweeping crackdown, Prince Reza Pahlavi said, warning that delays could cost more lives.
“When my compatriots came to the streets, they were only met with this brutal genocidal level, industrial level massacre,” Pahlavi said, adding that many were forced to retreat but “people are still out there chanting” in recent nights.
He said tens of thousands are imprisoned, and accused authorities of continuing arrests, threats and executions, including targeting hospital workers and nurses.
“The importance of strike to neutralize the regime forces of repression is the element that could get people back into the streets,” he said, arguing that negotiations with Iran would not yield results and that “every day that goes by, more people could die.”
