Supporters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) held multiple demonstrations, rallies, book tables, and photo exhibitions across Europe during the week of May 3–10, 2026. All actions condemned the Iranian regime’s recent wave of executions — particularly the hanging of three Mashhad protesters (Mehdi Rasouli, Mohammad Reza Miri, and Ebrahim Dolatabadi) arrested in the January 2026 uprising as well as PMOI members — and called for decisive international action, including embassy closures. Protesters repeatedly rejected both monarchical and theocratic dictatorship (“No to Shah, No to Mullahs”), displayed portraits of executed prisoners, and promoted the NCRI’s Ten-Point democratic platform.
