Geneva, Switzerland – July 5, 2025 – Supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) held a rally and exhibition at Place des Nations, in front of the United Nations Office in Geneva, to protest the Iranian regime’s escalating use of the death penalty—particularly against political prisoners.
Participants called for the immediate and total abolition of capital punishment in Iran and the unconditional release of all political detainees, especially those facing imminent execution. They also demanded that the regime’s leaders be prosecuted in an international tribunal for crimes against humanity.
The event prominently featured Maryam Rajavi’s “Third Option“, a strategic framework that rejects both foreign military intervention and appeasement of the regime. Instead, it promotes a peaceful transition to democracy, led by the Iranian people and their organized resistance.
Protesters also chanted “Woman, Resistance, Freedom,” expressing their solidarity with the courageous women of Iran who are at the forefront of the struggle for freedom and equality.
Organizers reaffirmed their vision of a democratic, secular republic in Iran—firmly rejecting both theocracy and any return to monarchy. They urged the international community to recognize the Iranian people’s right to resist oppression and to support the MEK’s Resistance Units operating inside Iran to challenge tyranny.
The exhibition attracted many Swiss citizens, who expressed support for the Iranian people’s democratic aspirations and signed a petition calling for international action.
