During the week of October 18–24, 2026, global solidarity networks representing the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) launched a sweeping wave of international demonstrations, exhibitions, and advocacy actions across major Western democracies. Spanning multiple continents, the diaspora mobilized to denounce the clerical regime’s accelerating wave of political executions, amplify the historic “No to Execution Tuesdays” prison campaign, and reject both theocratic despotism and monarchical restoration in favor of a democratic republic.

In Melbourne, Australia, NCRI supporters gathered to host a public book stand and photo exhibition designed to expose Iran’s deepening human rights catastrophe and the regime’s systematic executions of political prisoners and detained protesters. Participants issued urgent appeals for the unconditional release of all political prisoners, denounced state impunity, and called upon the Australian government and the wider international community to enact a decisive, firm policy against the clerical regime while supporting the Iranian population’s democratic struggle. Concurrently, in Sydney, Australia, NCRI supporters convened a parallel public exhibition and information table, reiterating identical demands for justice, accountability, and the total dismantling of the religious dictatorship.

Across the United Kingdom, in St Helens, members of the Academics in Exile Association aligned with the Iranian Resistance operated an informational book table and photo exhibition, securing public signatures on petitions urging the United Nations to halt executions.

The coordinated global mobilization of the Iranian diaspora across major Western capitals demonstrates that the struggle against the clerical regime extends far beyond Iran’s borders, forming a powerful international front that complements the MEK Resistance Units operating inside the country. By aligning their advocacy with the inmates driving the “No to Execution Tuesdays” movement and championing a secular, democratic republic, these international networks effectively shatter Tehran’s diplomatic facade of legitimacy. The regime’s reliance on terror and executions has not cowed its opponents abroad; rather, it has galvanized an organized, globally resonant opposition that exposes the fundamental vulnerability and internal deadlock of the ruling religious dictatorship.
