Toronto, Canada \u2013 June 21, 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Toronto, Canada \u2013 June 21, 2025: <\/strong>Supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>) gathered to commemorate the anniversary of the nationwide protests on June 20, 1981<\/a>,\u00a0in Iran. This significant event marked the start of organized resistance against the ruling clerical regime. On that day, regime security forces violently attacked peaceful protesters, leading to a brutal crackdown involving torture, mass arrests, and executions.<\/p>\n

attended and delivered a speech to the demonstrators, expressing her strong support for the Iranian resistance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_75330\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75330\"
