Supporters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) executed a coordinated wave of rallies, photo exhibitions, sit-ins, and diplomatic demonstrations across major Western capitals between September 13 and 19, 2026. Spanning European centers and major North American hubs, the international mobilization targeted the regime’s surging execution rate, denounced the presence of Iranian officials at international bodies, and amplified global solidarity with internal resistance movements. By consistently rejecting both monarchical restoration and theocratic dictatorship, these global actions demonstrate an expanding international apparatus dedicated to legitimizing a democratic, secular alternative for Iran.

In Paris, supporters of the NCRI held a public book stand and photo exhibition to condemn the escalating human rights violations in Iran, focusing specifically on capital punishment and the ongoing imprisonment of demonstrators detained during the January 2026 uprising. Organizers displayed photographs, personal testimonies, and documentation detailing state abuses to urge the French public and international community to support a democratic republic. Event representatives stressed that the Iranian people explicitly reject both monarchical and theocratic authoritarian rule, reaffirming their commitment to fundamental civil liberties, political rights, and international accountability.

In New York, the Organization of Iranian American Communities (OIAC) launched a weeklong advocacy campaign featuring more than 100 volunteers mobilizing across city streets to gather signatures, lead chants, and engage the public. The campaign serves as a precursor to multi-day demonstrations planned outside the United Nations headquarters at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza on September 22 and 23 during the 81st session of the UN General Assembly. Activists are drawing attention to systematic executions, ethnic and religious minority oppression, and state violence against women, while voicing formal protests against the attendance of Iranian regime president Masoud Pezeshkian at the assembly. The mobilization explicitly endorses NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan for a secular, democratic, and non-nuclear republic.

In Paris, Iranian diaspora activists organized a second public exhibition showcasing documentation of state violence and political imprisonments stemming from recent uprisings. Demonstrators appealed to international institutions to take concrete punitive measures against the Iranian regime’s execution apparatus. Participants reiterated that lasting regional peace and domestic freedom depend on supporting the Iranian people’s drive for a secular republic rather than engaging in diplomatic appeasement with the existing clerical establishment.

A synchronized series of actions took place across Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, and France. In Berlin, activists marked the 200th consecutive day of their sit-in outside the Iranian embassy, demanding the immediate closure of the facility as a center for espionage and state terror, alongside the expulsion of regime operatives from European soil. Demonstrators chanted “Down with the oppressor, be it the Shah or the Supreme Leader” and called for international recognition of the NCRI provisional government and support for MEK Resistance Units operating inside Iran.
In Gothenburg, activists gathered for the 138th consecutive week in solidarity with the internal “No to Execution Tuesdays” movement, raising warnings over the imminent danger facing political prisoners and calling for global expansion of Mrs. Rajavi’s anti-execution campaign. In Effretikon, supporters staged a photo exhibition commemorating executed wrestling champion Navid Afkari and martyrs of the 2022 uprising while endorsing a secular republic. Concurrently, activists in Paris hosted specialized displays highlighting the plight of political prisoners on death row.

In Bern, NCRI supporters conducted a rally and photo exhibition marking the fourth anniversary of the 2022 nationwide uprising. The public display featured images of fallen protesters and death-row political prisoners, attracting Swiss citizens who expressed formal solidarity with the cause. Demonstrators emphasized the coalition’s platform of “no to war, no to appeasement, yes to peace and freedom,” asserting that genuine democratic transformation must be realized through the organized resistance of the Iranian people.

In Stockholm, members of the Iranian community convened outside the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs before marching through the capital to mark the fourth anniversary of the 2022 uprising. Participants set up a memorial photo gallery honoring slain protesters, demanded the immediate release of all political detainees, and called on Western governments to end diplomatic flexibility with Tehran while recognizing the Iranian electorate’s rejection of both the mullahs and the former monarchy.

In Vienna, Iranian resistance supporters organized a protest rally coinciding with the convening of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors meeting. Demonstrators gathered outside the venue chanting “With nuclear weapons or without, the mullahs’ regime must be overthrown” and “The mullahs’ nuclear program is against the Iranian people”. Protesters urged member states to hold Tehran accountable for its nuclear escalation, demanding the complete dismantling of the regime’s nuclear infrastructure in favor of a democratic, non-nuclear state.
The sustained, multi-city footprint of the NCRI’s global campaign reflects a sophisticated international movement capable of maintaining continuous diplomatic pressure on Western institutions. By aligning diaspora rallies directly with major international summits like the UN General Assembly and IAEA proceedings, the resistance effectively restricts Tehran’s ability to project normalcy abroad. The universal emphasis on rejecting both monarchical restoration and clerical rule underscores a deliberate strategy to position the NCRI’s democratic platform as the sole viable alternative to the current state of crisis in Iran.
