The Islamic Republic marked the 44th anniversary of the Iranian revolution on Saturday with state-organised rallies, as anti-government hackers briefly interrupted a televised speech by President Ebrahim Raisi.
Raisi, whose hardline government faces one of the boldest challenges from young protesters calling for its ouster, appealed to the “deceived youth” to repent so they can be pardoned by Iran’s supreme leader.
In that case, he told a crowd congregated at Tehran’s expansive Azadi Square: “the Iranian people will embrace them with open arms”.
His live televised speech was interrupted on the internet for about a minute, with a logo appearing on the screen of a group of anti-Iranian government hackers that goes by the name of “Edalat Ali (Justice of Ali). A voice shouted “Death to the Islamic Republic.” Continues
More like an open beheading festival than open arms.
Sounds about like interrupting CNN.
Nobody really knew about it until word-of-mouth got to them!
…THEIR young people are rebelling against tyranny while OUR young people are embracing it.
*sigh*
…the affairs of Man are cyclical, and what comes around goes around, I suppose.
One day, a generation of young people will choose to throw off OUR tyranny.
Too bad we won’t live to see it…
