Effretikon, Switzerland – May 23, 2026 – Supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) held a photo exhibition and book stall to commemorate the anniversary of the execution of the founders of the PMOI/MEK by the Shah’s regime on May 25, 1972. Demonstrators honored the sacrifice of the MEK’s founders and celebrated the movement’s enduring commitment to freedom, democracy, and a secular republic in Iran. They highlighted the MEK’s pivotal role in resisting both dictatorships and defending the Iranian people’s right to sovereignty and justice.
Freedom-loving Iranians also protested the executions of political prisoners, including PMOI members and individuals detained during the January 2026 uprising in Iran. They demanded the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners in the country.
A Call for Justice and a Free Iran
The exhibition backed NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi‘s “No to Executions” campaign for global expansion, while reaffirming calls for regime change toward a secular, democratic republic—rejecting both theocracy and monarchy—and expressing support for MEK Resistance Units inside Iran fighting for justice.
Solidarity of Swiss Citizens in Effretikon
Swiss citizens visiting the photo exhibition of martyrs and images of political prisoners sentenced to death expressed deep solidarity with the Iranian people. They strongly condemned the regime’s inhumane actions and voiced their support for the struggle for freedom and human rights in Iran.
