Berkeley, California — April 25, 2026: The Iranian-American Community of Northern California gathered to highlight Iran’s alarming surge in executions, especially of PMOI members, along with protesters arrested during the January 2026 uprising. The regime shows what it fears most: the MEK Resistance Units inside Iran resisting clerical fascism. Protesters rejected both the Shah and the mullahs and expressed full support for the NCRI Alternative as the democratic path for Iran’s future.

Supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in Berkeley drew attention to what participants called a rapidly intensifying campaign of state violence. Demonstrators warned that the regime is increasingly resorting to executions to conceal its internal weaknesses and suppress rising unrest across the country.
The rally was covered by KTVU, while KPFA also reported on the event and highlighted the group’s message that any negotiation with Iran must put human rights first.

Our message: any negotiation with Iran must put human rights first. Bombing will not bring democratic change. The focus must be on the Iranian people and their organized resistance, who are ready for change from within.… pic.twitter.com/6ZVIPaWa0n
Protesters underscored that the Iranian people reject all forms of dictatorship—whether monarchical or theocratic—and called for international support for their ongoing resistance and their demand for democratic change.
