Gothenburg, Sweden — February 21, 2026 — Supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) held a rally to commemorate the martyrs of Iran’s nationwide uprising and express strong solidarity with protesters demanding freedom and democracy. The event, held on the 40th day after the killings of protesters, aimed to honor the fallen and call for justice.
Demonstrators also called for the establishment of a free and democratic republic in Iran, rejecting all forms of autocracy, whether monarchical or theocratic. They held pictures of the martyrs of the uprising and carried banners reflecting the core demands of protesters inside Iran, including slogans such as “Regime change in Iran by the people of Iran” and “No to the Shah! No to the Mullahs.”

Speakers and participants further expressed support for the Ten-Point Plan proposed by Maryam Rajavi, described as a roadmap for a future democratic Iran grounded in pluralism, gender equality, separation of religion and state, and respect for human rights.
The gathering concluded with renewed calls for international support for the Iranian people’s uprising and their pursuit of freedom, justice, and a democratic republic.
