Malmö, Sweden – May 9, 2026: Supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) gathered in Malmö to protest 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 Iran.
Participants strongly denounced the actions of Iran’s ruling clerical regime, calling the executions a clear violation of fundamental human rights. Demonstrators honored the victims by displaying their photographs and reaffirmed their determination to continue the struggle against the regime until its overthrow and the establishment of a democratic republic founded on peace, freedom, and justice.
Protesters also explicitly rejected all forms of dictatorship, whether monarchical or theocratic, emphasizing their opposition to both the rule of the Shah and the current mullah-led regime. They voiced support for the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) as a democratic alternative.
During the rally, speakers called for an immediate halt to executions in Iran and urged the Swedish government to adopt a firm stance against the regime’s ongoing human rights violations. Organizers further appealed to the Swedish public and the international community to recognize the Iranian people’s clear rejection of dictatorship in all its forms and to support their struggle for democratic change.
