Paris Rally Condemns Iran Executions, Calls for Abolition of Death Penalty and Release of Political Prisoners

Paris, May 13, 2025

Paris, May 13, 2025 – Supporters of the Iranian Resistance, including members of the NCRI and MEK, gathered at the Esplanade des Invalides to protest the alarming surge in executions and ongoing human rights violations in Iran under the presidency of Masoud Pezeshkian. Since he assumed office in July 2024, over 1,145 executions have been reported.

They condemned the death sentences issued against political prisoners affiliated with the PMOI, particularly Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani, who face imminent execution.

The demonstrators demanded an immediate halt to the death penalty, particularly for political prisoners, and called for the unconditional release of all those unjustly detained. Powerful slogans denouncing both the clerical regime and the former monarchy resonated throughout the square.

 

In addition to the rally, a photo exhibition was held at the venue, honoring the martyrs of the Iranian people’s resistance against dictatorship. The images highlighted decades of sacrifice in the struggle for freedom and justice in Iran.

Several prominent French figures also participated in the event and delivered speeches in solidarity with the Iranian people. Speaking on behalf of the Parliamentary Committee for a Democratic Iran, French MP Hervé Saulignac emphasized: “If France truly wishes to uphold its values, it must not make any concession to such a regime.”

Arman Habibi, a young activist, also addressed the crowd, underscoring the shared aspiration of millions of Iranians for a free, secular, and democratic Iran as envisioned in Maryam Rajavi’s 10-point plan.
