Death to Khamenei

This article is about the slogan. For Khamenei's death, see Assassination of Khamenei.

Death to Khamenei (Persian: مرگ بر خامنه‌ای, romanized: Marg bar Khāmene'i) is a political slogan in Iran that was first chanted during the 2009 Iranian presidential election protests.

The slogan was used as a strong expression against the former Supreme Leader of Iran and the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially during protests, as protesters hold Khamenei personally responsible for violent crackdowns. This slogan, which had first appeared in 2009, has been widely used by protestors since then. Many citizens would shout it every evening at 8 PM from balconies and windows.
