UK, November 27-28, 2024: Freedom-loving Iranians and academics in England who support the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) organized a book exhibition over two consecutive days in Manchester to condemn human rights violations in Iran and show solidarity with the Iranian Revolution.
