Cologne, Germany—November 16, 2024: Freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) organized a rally and exhibition to express solidarity with the Iranian Revolution. This rally served as a tribute to the martyrs of the nationwide Iranian uprising in November 2019 and in 2022.

The rally also protested the rising wave of executions carried out by the Iranian regime and called for the immediate release of all political prisoners held in the regime’s prisons.

Iranians in Cologne emphasized the Iranian people’s desire for a democratic republic and their rejection of any form of dictatorship, whether it be the mullahs’ regime or a return to the Shah’s regime.

They called for the recognition of the resistance and the right of the Iranian people, along with the MEK Resistance Units inside Iran, to defend themselves in their struggle against tyranny and dictatorship.

Iranian community in Cologne specifically demanded that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) be designated as a terrorist organization and called for stronger actions from the Swedish government and European Union against the Iranian regime.
