Toronto, Canada – November 21, 2025 – Iranian-Canadians and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) held a rally condemning the Iranian regime’s widespread use of the death penalty, particularly the execution of political prisoners. Freedom-loving Iranians and MEK supporters stressed the urgent need to end all executions in Iran and voiced strong support for the Iranian people’s ongoing resistance against tyranny.
Demanding the Abolition of the Death Penalty
Participants called for the complete abolition of capital punishment in Iran and the unconditional release of all political prisoners, especially those facing imminent execution.
