Oslo, Norway — January 8, 2026 — Once again, in support of the nationwide uprising in Iran and the brave protesters, freedom-loving Iranians — supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) — held a rally in front of the Norwegian Parliament. In solidarity with the nationwide protests in Iran, participants braved snowy, 14 degrees below zero temperatures and chanted anti-regime slogans to express their support for compatriots who have risen up inside Iran.

Demonstrators called for the establishment of a free and democratic republic in Iran, rejecting all forms of autocracy—whether monarchical or theocratic. They also urged the Norwegian government to cut ties with and boycott the clerical regime in solidarity with the Iranian people’s demand for freedom.

The participants carried banners echoing the demands of protesters in Iran, including “Regime change in Iran by the people of Iran” and “No to the Shah! No to the Mullahs.”

Mr. Parviz Khazaei, the Representative of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) in the Nordic countries, attended the rally and reaffirming his support for the ongoing uprising, as he has done in previous demonstrations backing the Iranian people’s uprising.

The rally sent a powerful message to the international community to stand with the people of Iran and not with any form of dictatorship, and to support their ongoing struggle for freedom, justice, and democracy.
