Essen, Germany \u2013 May 6, 2026:<\/strong> Supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/span><\/a>) held a book stall and photo exhibition in Essen to protest the Iranian regime\u2019s escalating executions of political prisoners <\/strong>and protesters<\/strong>. The event expressed solidarity with the nationwide \u201cNo to Execution<\/a>\u201d campaign and called for urgent international action against the mullahs\u2019 regime. The participants also called for the immediate release of all political prisoners.<\/p>\n

The exhibition backed the NCRI<\/span><\/a>\u00a0President-elect\u00a0Maryam Rajavi<\/span><\/a>\u2019s \u201cNo to Executions<\/a>\u201d campaign and urged the international community to hold the Iranian regime accountable for its human rights violations.<\/p>\n

Participants emphasized the Iranian people\u2019s demand for freedom and democracy under the slogan: \u201cNo to Shah<\/a>, No to Mullahs, Yes to a Democratic Secular Republic.\u201d The gathering rejected both the former monarchical<\/a> dictatorship and the current theocratic regime, while advocating the establishment of a secular and democratic republic in Iran.<\/p>\n

The event further echoed the Iranian Resistance\u2019s position of rejecting both war and appeasement, stressing that lasting peace and freedom can only be achieved through the overthrow of the regime by the Iranian people and their organized resistance.<\/p>\n
