Neither Shah nor Mullahs: Iran’s Resistance Units Rally for a Democratic Republic
Amidst wartime conditions and the clerical regime’s persistent threats to crack down on dissidents, the brave activists of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) Resistance Units have launched a new wave of anti-regime activities. On March 27, 2026, activists in the southeastern city of Zahedan took to the streets, projecting a message of defiance and readiness. By installing posters and holding placards, the Resistance Units reiterated their unwavering support for the Provisional Government announced by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and demanded a democratic republic that rejects all forms of dictatorship.
A core pillar of the Iranian Resistance is the rejection of any return to the monarchical dictatorship of the past, alongside the determination to overthrow the current theocracy. In Zahedan, this principle of “Neither Shah nor Mullahs” was on full display. Activists held placards reading, “A dictatorship is a dictatorship, whether with a turban or a crown,” and “No to shah, no to mullahs, yes to freedom and democratic republic.”

Iran Uses 12-Year-Old Children in Security Patrols
The use of 12-year-old children in security patrols in Iran raises serious human rights and structural concerns. This development shows why the ruling regime in Iran has turned to using children in intelligence and operational activities, what crises have shaped this decision, and what this policy reveals about the actual condition of the country’s security and military institutions. The formal reduction of the participation age under the scheme known as “For Iran,” and the presence of adolescents at checkpoints and in urban missions, not only violates international obligations toward children’s rights, but also points to a growing pattern of instrumentalizing children within structures of internal repression.
On March 26, 2026, Rahim Nadaali, the cultural deputy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Tehran, announced in an official televised interview that the age for participation in intelligence patrols, operational patrols, and checkpoint duties had been lowered to 12. He said: “We launched this plan in different areas… there are intelligence and operational patrols, and our dear young people and teenagers repeatedly came forward and said they wanted to take part in these patrols.

Young Women Disappear in Iran Arrest Wave as Prisoner Denied Urgent Medical Care
Iran arrests are once again drawing international concern, as a new wave of detentions targets young women, civil society figures, and political prisoners—while a jailed woman is denied urgent medical care despite a worsening infection.
A series of recent reports from human rights organizations describe a pattern that goes beyond isolated incidents—one defined by silence, pressure, and the steady erosion of basic rights.
Among the most urgent cases is Masoumeh Yavari, a political prisoner whose health is reportedly deteriorating after being denied proper medical treatment.
According to human rights groups, Yavari had undergone surgery on her hand earlier this year and was temporarily released on heavy bail equivalent to billions of tomans to continue treatment. But before her recovery was complete, authorities revoked her medical leave and sent her back to prison.
