BERLIN, October 14, 2026 \u2014 German lawmakers, former parliamentarians, diplomats, political analysts and Iranian activists gathered in Berlin for a conference on Iran\u2019s political crisis, calling for a fundamental change in German and European policy toward Tehran and greater recognition of the organized Iranian Resistance. Speakers highlighted the expansion of Resistance Units inside Iran, the endurance of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) despite decades of executions and persecution, and the National Council of Resistance of Iran\u2019s proposed democratic transition. The conference also sharply criticized efforts to promote Reza Pahlavi and restoration of the ousted monarchy, warned against campaigns to demonize or marginalize the organized Resistance, and called for stronger action against executions, transnational repression and impunity for crimes against humanity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By sending a video message<\/a>, <\/span>Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/span><\/b>, President-elect of the NCRI, addressed the conference as keynote speaker, arguing that neither appeasement nor foreign war could resolve the Iranian crisis and urging Germany to support the Iranian people\u2019s struggle for democratic change.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs. Rajavi told the gathering that the defining conflict over Iran\u2019s future was not the regime\u2019s confrontation with foreign powers but its unresolved struggle against Iranian society.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor forty-seven years, a deep and protracted conflict has unfolded in Iran\u2014one that constitutes the true battle, far eclipsing any external conflict,\u201d she said. \u201cThat is the fundamental war between the Iranian people and religious fascism.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She said executions had become a principal instrument for suppressing opponents and preventing another nationwide uprising, citing the execution of at least 46 political prisoners since the latest conflict began, including nine PMOI members, as well as new death sentences against alleged supporters of the organization.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet Mrs. Rajavi argued that the repression had failed to contain opposition activity. \u201cPublic defiance and resistance, led particularly by the younger generation standing up to the Revolutionary Guard Corps, continues to expand,\u201d she said. \u201cOver recent months, Resistance Units have significantly intensified their strikes against regime installations and defiance of their state apparatus.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
