Administrative Court: June 20 Demonstration Faces the Risk of a Major Attack by the Iranian Regime or Monarchists; SAVAK Threatened to Bomb the Rally
In view of the bombing threats made by the Iranian regime and monarchists against demonstrators, the Court held that the rally could not proceed. The plaintiffs’ lawyers have appealed the ruling.

The Paris Administrative Court ruled today that the police ban on the June 20 demonstration was based on generic grounds devoid of any contextual information. However, intelligence reports submitted to the Court show that the June 20 rally “is exposed to the risk of a major attack by the Iranian regime or Iranian monarchists.”

The judgment further states that remnants of the Shah’s regime “maintain an internal security service known as SAVAK. This ‘service’ is active in Europe and has threatened that, should the administrative authorities authorize the demonstration on June 20, 2026, it would plant a bomb.”

This once again proves that the monarchists are nothing more than accomplices and willing instruments of the ruling religious fascism in Iran against the Iranian people and their Resistance. The events of recent months have likewise demonstrated that fascistic monarchist gangs will stop at nothing in committing crimes against opponents of both the Shah and the mullahs.

Referring to these groups, the Court notes that the presence of SAVAK “was evident during the demonstrations held in London on April 26, 2026, and in Regensburg, Germany, on May 10, 2026, where participants displayed clothing and banners bearing SAVAK symbols.”

The judgment further states that “the monarchist movement, through one of its active members, Mohammad Sadeghi Ahangar—known for his threatening statements, particularly toward the French security forces and the President of the Republic—called on his supporters to ‘block the march.’”

In light of the bombing threats made by the Iranian regime and monarchists against the demonstrators, the Court ruled that the demonstration could not proceed. The plaintiffs’ lawyers have appealed the decision.
