Sheffield, UK – February 18, 2025: The Academics in Exile Association, which supports the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), organized a book and photo exhibition to protest the death sentences imposed on political prisoners affiliated with the PMOI. The organizers condemned the Iranian regime’s ongoing human rights violations and expressed solidarity with the Iranian Revolution.
The exhibition shed light on Iran’s escalating human rights crisis, particularly the plight of political prisoners facing execution. It also called for the immediate release of all political detainees held by the mullahs’ regime.
Participants urged the UK government to officially designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization and shut down the Iranian regime’s embassy, which they described as a hub for espionage and terrorism. Members of Sheffield’s Iranian community demanded international prosecution of Iran’s leaders for crimes against humanity.
