During the week of August 28 – September 3, 2026, supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) launched a coordinated global campaign across major European and Australian cities to condemn Tehran’s escalating wave of domestic executions and systemic repression. Activists staged rallies, public photo exhibitions, and petition drives across France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Romania, and Australia. Tying historical atrocities like the 1988 massacre to the ongoing detention and execution of January 2026 uprising protesters, demonstrators demanded that Western governments adopt firm policies against the Iranian regime. The international campaign reaffirmed the Iranian people’s explicit rejection of all forms of dictatorship—both monarchical and theocratic—and called for global solidarity with the MEK Resistance Units fighting for a secular, democratic republic.

In Bucharest, Romania, supporters of the NCRI and MEK held a photo exhibition for the second consecutive week to mark the anniversary of the 1988 massacre and protest current execution rates. Demonstrators demanded the complete abolition of the death penalty, the release of all political prisoners, and the establishment of an international tribunal to hold senior Iranian regime officials accountable for crimes against humanity. Romanian visitors expressed solidarity with the Iranian people’s struggle for a secular democratic republic.
The synchronized global demonstrations spanning August 30 to September 5 highlight how Tehran’s domestic reliance on mass executions has energized an organized, multi-continent diplomatic front. By connecting the ongoing hunger strikes of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” movement inside Iranian prisons with public rallies across major Western capitals, the Iranian diaspora continues to challenge the regime’s legitimacy. The persistent rejection of both former monarchical structures and current theocratic rule underscores a mature political movement centered on democratic governance, placing increased pressure on Western governments to take decisive, accountable action against Tehran’s human rights violations.
