Full text of the Statement is available below:
More than 300 parliamentary groups and organizations, along with scores of former heads of state, ministers, parliamentarians, mayors, jurists, academics, and activists, issued a joint statement backing a major demonstration in Brussels on September 6th, 2025.
The rally, marking the 60th anniversary of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, will stand against executions in Iran and in solidarity with the Iranian people’s resistance.
We, the undersigned, declare our support for the large rally of Iranians on September 6th, 2025 in Brussels, against executions and in favor of the third option.
No to appeasement, no to foreign war, change by the Iranian people and their organized resistance for freedom.
The signatories underscore that the gathering is the echo of the Iranian people’s voice for freedom.
They remind the world that since Pezeshkian took office at the end of July 2024, 1,560 people have been executed in Iran.
The regime recently hanged Mehdi Hassani and Behrouz Ehsani on charges of Moharebeh and membership in the PMOI, and 14 other prisoners face imminent execution on similar charges.
Many more political prisoners await execution on fabricated accusations.
The statement condemns an editorial by the regime’s official Fars News Agency, which described the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners as a positive experience that should be repeated.
It notes that the UN special rapporteur on Iran has called that massacre a crime against humanity and genocide.
The signatories highlight that the people of Iran in their protests have categorically rejected any form of dictatorship, whether the monarchy of the Shah or the religious tyranny of the Mullahs.
They voice solidarity with the Iranian people’s demands for free expression, gender equality, separation of religion and state, abolition of the death penalty, and peaceful coexistence, as articulated in Maryam Rajavi‘s 10-point plan.
They also recognize the pivotal role of the PMOI in the struggle for freedom, noting that it is commemorating its 60th anniversary.
We call for international condemnation of human rights violations in Iran, an immediate halt to all executions, blacklisting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, an end to the policy of appeasement toward the clerical regime, and recognition of the Iranian people’s legitimate right to resist, overthrow the dictatorship, and establish a democratic Republic.
Beyond these demands, the statement’s breadth of support is striking.
It is endorsed by parliamentary committees for a democratic Iran in Europe and North America, labor unions and professional associations, human rights groups, and by former prime ministers, ministers, and diplomats from countries across Europe and Canada.
Sitting legislators from the UK, Ireland, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, and Malta add their names, as do dozens of mayors and city counselors from Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavia.
Prominent jurists who have served on UN tribunals, legal scholars, and heads of NGOs championing women’s rights, workers’ rights, and social justice also appear among the 300 signatories.
In unison, they declare that the Brussels rally is not merely a protest against executions, but a clarion call for freedom and democracy in Iran, and they urge the international community to stand with the Iranian people on September 6th.
