Supporters of the Iranian Resistance Rally in Geneva Amid UN Human Rights Council Session

Geneva, Switzerland — January 23, 2026: Freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) gathered outside the UN headquarters in Geneva to show solidarity with the  nationwide uprising  in Iran and call for international action against the mullahs’ regime.

Solidarity with Iran’s Nationwide Uprising

Demonstrators carried banners reading “No to the Shah! No to the Mullahs” and “Regime change in Iran by the people of Iran,” expressing support for protesters inside Iran and demanding a free and democratic republic. Photos of the martyrs of the ongoing nationwide protests highlighted the regime’s violent repression, including killings, mass arrests, and hospital raids.

A key demand of the demonstrators was a call for democratic countries to pursue legal action against Ali Khamenei and other regime leaders for crimes against humanity and the killing of protesters in Iran.

Maryam Rajavi: The Time for Accountability Has Arrived

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), stated:
“The UN Human Rights Council’s adoption of a resolution by a clear majority condemning the clerical regime’s brutal suppression of the Iranian people’s protests—alongside strong statements by country representatives and the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran—has exposed a clear truth: the ruling religious fascism can no longer hide its crimes from the world. The time for accountability has arrived. Those who ordered and perpetrated these atrocities must be brought to justice.”
