Paris, November 13, 2026 — Supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) held a photo exhibition at Place de la République in Paris on Friday to mark the anniversary of Iran’s November 2019 uprising and honor its more than 1,500 martyrs.
The exhibition also displayed photographs of victims of Iran’s nationwide uprisings in 2022 and 2026, as well as political prisoners and protesters executed by the Iranian regime, particularly in recent months.
Photographs of the victims were shown to passersby in the heart of Paris. Their faces, silent but striking, recalled the lives of men and women who sacrificed their lives for freedom and democracy in Iran.
Organizers said the display was a testament to the continuing struggle of the Iranian people against repression and for freedom. They highlighted the Iranian regime’s continued use of the death penalty as a tool of political repression and called for an end to executions in Iran.
The exhibition also commemorated victims of the 2026 nationwide uprising. The NCRI has said that, according to its information, the death toll in the uprising that began on December 28, 2025 exceeded 3,000 by January 11, 2026.
The organizers called on the international community to oppose the use of the death penalty for political repression and to support the Iranian people’s aspirations for a free and democratic Iran.
They also urged the French public and the international community to recognize the suffering of Iranians and their rejection of dictatorship in both monarchical and theocratic forms.
