London, UK – February 21, 2025: The Academics in Exile Association, which supports the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), organized a book and photo exhibition to raise awareness of human rights violations by the mullahs’ regime. They also expressed solidarity with the Iranian people’s struggle for regime change and a free, democratic republic in Iran.
The exhibition received significant public support, drawing attention to the ongoing repression in Iran, particularly the death sentences imposed on political prisoners. Attendees signed petitions advocating for regime change, the abolition of the death penalty, and the immediate release of all political detainees.
The Academics In Exile Association stated on X platform: “Momentum grows in London! On 21/02/2025, our book stand saw incredible support as many joined us to sign the petition for regime change and a free, democratic Iran. Together, we condemn executions & torture. The fight for justice continues!”

The event also called on the UK government to officially designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC ) as a terrorist organization and shut down the Iranian regime’s embassy, which is widely seen as a center for espionage and terror operations. Iranian community members in London demanded that Iranian leaders be prosecuted internationally for crimes against humanity.
The Academics in Exile Association reaffirmed its commitment to justice, stricter sanctions against the Iranian regime, and recognition of the Iranian people’s right to self-defense.
The exhibition was met with enthusiasm from a diverse audience, strengthening international support for the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom and democracy.
