Weekly Rally Against Executions in Gothenburg
Gothenburg, Sweden – November 18, 2025 – Supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) gathered in Gothenburg to mark the 60th consecutive week of local participation in the global “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign. The movement protests the Iranian regime’s escalating wave of executions and systematic repression.
This week’s rally, which coincided with the sixth anniversary of the nationwide November 2019 uprising, marked the 95th consecutive week of protests by political prisoners in 54 prisons across Iran, reflecting a growing resistance movement and underscoring the urgent need for international attention and action.
Participants strongly condemned the Iranian regime’s increasing use of the death penalty, calling for the immediate annulment of all death sentences and the unconditional release of political prisoners.
Global Call to Expand the “No to Executions” Campaign
Freedom-loving Iranians in Gothenburg expressed their support for Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and her call to expand the “No to Executions” campaign globally.
Demands for Justice and International Accountability
Protesters called for the prosecution of the regime’s leaders for crimes against humanity in an international tribunal. They also urged the Swedish government to end its policy of appeasement toward Tehran and to officially designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.
Vision for a Democratic Republic and Support for MEK Resistance Units
Finally, the demonstrators reaffirmed the Iranian people’s call for a democratic republic, rejecting both religious dictatorship and any return to monarchy. They highlighted the importance of recognizing the Iranian Resistance and supporting the MEK Resistance Units inside Iran in their ongoing fight for freedom and justice.
