(MENAFN) Digital activists backing anti-government demonstrations in Iran stated they hacked an online broadcast by state television of an address by President Ebrahim Raisi on Saturday marking the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The Edalat-e Ali group shared a video of the purported interruption of Raisi’s speech on Twitter, in which it urged Iranians to take out their money from “corrupt” government banks and to take to the streets next week.
“Death to Khamenei,” “Death to the Islamic Revolution,” and “Death to the Islamic republic,” it shared on Twitter.
“Many compatriots approached us and asked us to echo the call (for protests) on February 16,” according to the group, in its second such reported hacking of state television in support of months-long anti-government demonstrations.
In October, Edalat-e Ali interrupted a live state television broadcast of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei assembling with state officials, with text on the screen that read “the blood of our youths is on your hands.”
