London, United Kingdom — January 17, 2026 — For yet another time, freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) rallied outside the British Prime Minister’s Office in London to express solidarity with the nationwide uprising in Iran that began on December 28, 2025.
Condemning Dictatorship in All Forms
The demonstrators called for the establishment of a free and democratic republic, rejecting both monarchical and theocratic forms of dictatorship.
They carried images of the martyrs of the uprising and banners echoing the demands of protesters inside Iran, with slogans such as “Regime change in Iran by the people of Iran” and “No to the Shah! No to the Mullahs!”
Demands to the UK Government and International Community
Protesters urged the British government to adopt firm measures against Tehran’s repressive machinery. Their key demands included:
-
Designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.
-
Closing the Iranian regime’s embassy in London and expelling its agents.
-
Recognizing the Iranian people’s right to legitimate self-defense against state repression.
Participants also warned against attempts by certain political groups to exploit the Iranian uprising for the benefit of remnants of the former dictatorship, emphasizing that they would not allow history to repeat itself or another authoritarian regime to emerge.
