Southampton, UK — November 14, 2026: Members of the Academics in Exile Association in the UK, which supports the Iranian Resistance (NCRI), took to the streets of Southampton to deliver a clear message: executions in Iran must stop.

Through an information and book stall, accompanied by a photo exhibition in Southampton city center, the organizers aimed to raise public awareness of the Iranian regime’s escalating use of executions, systematic repression, and widespread human rights violations. The photographs and publications on display highlighted the human cost of repression in Iran and the suffering endured by ordinary people under the regime.

The initiative was met with a very warm and encouraging response from the public. Many visitors also signed petitions condemning the Iranian regime’s human rights abuses and executions, and calling on the United Nations and the international community to take concrete action to end executions and support the Iranian people’s aspirations for democracy.

A central message of the campaign was the rejection of all forms of dictatorship, whether monarchical or theocratic, as reflected in the slogan: “No to Shah, No to Mullahs.” The organizers emphasized the need for a democratic alternative that would guarantee freedom, justice, and the establishment of a secular republic in Iran.
