Liverpool, UK \u2013 May 16, 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On May 16, 2025, the city of Liverpool joined a growing wave of public action across the United Kingdom against the death penalty in Iran. The event was part of the \u201cNo to Executions\u201d campaign<\/a>, launched in cities<\/a> including London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Sheffield, and continuing from May 13 to 17.<\/p>\n

In Liverpool, the campaign was led by the Academics in Exile Association, a group of Iranian scholars affiliated with the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>). The event featured a photo exhibition and informational bookstall, drawing attention to the sharp rise in executions and the Iranian regime\u2019s escalating repression of political dissent.<\/p>\n
