On August 8, 202<\/strong>6, Iranian-Canadian supporters of the Iranian Resistance<\/strong> \u2014 the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>) and the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>) \u2014 gathered at Queen\u2019s Park South Lawn in Toronto<\/strong> for a rally marking the 38th anniversary of the 1988 massacre<\/a> of political prisoners in Iran and expressing solidarity with the \u201cNo to Executions\u201d campaign.
