Southampton, UK – January 18, 2025: Members of the Academics in Exile Association, supporting the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), organized a book and photo exhibition to protest the death sentences imposed on political prisoners associated with the PMOI.
The organizers condemned the Iranian regime’s ongoing crimes against its people and expressed solidarity with the Iranian Revolution.
The event shed light on Iran’s dire human rights situation, with a particular focus on political prisoners facing execution. It also called for the immediate release of all political prisoners held by the mullahs’ regime.
The exhibition urged the UK government to officially designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization and to shut down the Iranian regime’s embassy, which is considered a hub for espionage and terror. Members of Southampton’s Iranian community demanded the international prosecution of Iran’s leaders for crimes against humanity.
The Academics In Exile Association stated on X platform:
“Amid the cold weather in Southampton, the warmth of a vibrant exhibition drew joy and excitement, especially among Iranian visitors“
