Participants called on European governments and the broader international community to take decisive action to halt executions in Iran and to hold the regime accountable for its crimes. They warned that failure to act risks enabling further atrocities against political prisoners.

She stated that carrying out such executions, particularly amid external pressures, reveals that the regime views the Iranian people and organized resistance as its primary threat. Rajavi emphasized that those executed, along with Mohammad Taghavi and Akbar Daneshvarkar, represent enduring symbols of sacrifice and steadfast resistance who refused to yield under pressure.
Calling the executions a grave crime, she urged the United Nations, its member states, and human rights organizations to take immediate and concrete action to prevent further executions. She stressed the need for practical measures, including holding Iranian officials accountable and increasing diplomatic pressure, warning that continued inaction could lead to more loss of life among political prisoners.
