Manchester, UK – October 7, 2025 – The Academics in Exile Association, supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), organized an exhibition and bookstall in Manchester to condemn the Iranian regime’s escalating executions of political prisoners. The event was held in solidarity with the international “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign.

The exhibition sharply denounced Iran’s regime for its widespread use of torture and the issuing of death sentences against political detainees. Participants called for the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners.

Attendees also signed a petition advocating for the establishment of a democratic republic in Iran and voiced support for the NCRI as a democratic alternative for the nation’s future.

Organizers urged the UK government to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization and to close the Iranian regime’s embassy in London, described as a center for espionage and terrorism.

Local residents joined the call for international action, stronger sanctions, and recognition of the Iranian people’s right to self-defense. The event drew attention from Manchester’s diverse community, reflecting growing global concern over Iran’s ongoing human rights violations.
