Munich, Germany – May 1, 2025 – On International Workers’ Day, supporters of the Iranian Resistance gathered to voice their support for the rights of Iranian workers and to condemn the brutal policies of the clerical regime. The rally featured a large turnout of Iranian expatriates, members of the Iranian community, and human rights advocates who stood in solidarity with oppressed workers in Iran and the broader call for democratic change.
Protesters strongly denounced the anti-labor policies of the ruling regime in Tehran, emphasizing that Iran’s workers and laborers will only achieve true justice and freedom through the overthrow of the mullahs’ tyrannical rule. They stressed that this can only be accomplished by the Iranian people and their organized resistance, led by the Resistance Units inside Iran affiliated with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
In Munich, demonstrators also highlighted the alarming rise in executions in Iran, particularly the execution of political prisoners. They condemned the regime’s use of the death penalty as a tool of repression and called for the immediate abolition of capital punishment, especially for political detainees who face imminent execution. Protesters demanded international pressure on the regime to stop executions and respect the right to life and fair trial.
Participants reiterated their solidarity with the Iranian working class and all wage earners, asserting that labor rights and human dignity in Iran can only be realized through regime change and the establishment of a democratic, secular republic. Slogans at the rally reflected the rejection of both the former monarchical dictatorship of the Shah and the current religious tyranny, while supporting the democratic vision outlined by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI ) under the leadership of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi.
Additionally, the demonstrators expressed deep sympathy for the victims and survivors of the Bandar Abbas explosion, many of whom were exploited port workers. They held the regime and its corrupt institutions responsible for this disaster, pointing to it as another example of systemic neglect and abuse of laborers in Iran.
