Protests against the lack of water by farmers in Isfahan province in late November are still going on in both Isfahan and Shahrekord.
On the second day of the protests, the people of Shahrekord launched an armed struggle against the Islamic regime in Iran. In a video posted on social media of the protest, Habib Fadaei, a poet and social activist, dressed in the Bakhtiari tribe attire, said: “We will not pay a ransom. Some say woe to the day when the Bakhtiari bring out the Brno, but we do not want that day to come. But if this situation continues, you can be sure we will get the Brno.”
Habib Fadaei also spoke about the regime’s plan to divide the people of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari in today’s gathering: “They (referring to the Islamic regime) want to divide us, but people of Isfahan are our brothers and we have no problem with them.” “But the profiteering mafia has taken the water for their extravagance.”
In the summer of 2021, due to Habib Fadai’s support for the people of Khuzestan who were shot in front of the water, he was captured in the city of Junghan by Khamenei’s revolutionary guards, and was immediately released due to the resistance of the people.
