A coordinated international campaign by supporters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) spanned major European centers between September 26 and October 3, 2026. Demonstrations, photo exhibitions, diplomatic sit-ins, and public outreach events in Paris, Berlin, Geneva, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Bucharest, and Lyon condemned Tehran’s escalating wave of executions—specifically highlighting the recent execution of January 2026 uprising detainees Ali Hemmati and Majid Nikandish. Protesters sustained ongoing embassy blockades, commemorated the historic September 27, 1981, anti-regime uprising, expressed solidarity with internal “No to Execution Tuesdays” hunger strikes, and advocated for international recognition of the NCRI’s provisional government based on Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan.

The sustained momentum of diaspora actions across Europe—exemplified by continuous blockades in Berlin and weekly mobilizations in Geneva, Paris, and Scandinavia—demonstrates a structured international movement capable of keeping the Iranian regime’s execution machinery at the forefront of Western political discourse. By linking daily anti-execution protests with explicit policy demands—such as the shuttering of diplomatic missions identified as intelligence centers and the formal recognition of the NCRI provisional government—the diaspora provides a clear, democratic framework for transition. The explicit rejection of both the ruling theocracy and monarchical restoration remains the central political pillar, unifying domestic resistance efforts with international diplomatic pressure.
