I am proud to stand with Maryam Rajavi and the NCRI for a free, democratic Iran. The Ten Point Plan offers free and fair elections within six months of regime change. The IRGC must be proscribed in full. No to dictatorship, crowned or turbaned. #FreeIran

«This is the core of Younesi’s message: the struggle for Iran’s freedom cannot be built on forgetting one dictatorship in order to oppose another. The crimes of the current regime do not cleanse the crimes of the monarchy. The gallows of today do not erase the gallows of yesterday.» #No2ShahNo2Mullahs

I offer my deepest condolences on the tragic passing of the free-spirited author and noble artist, Marjane Satrapi.
She courageously dedicated her pen and art to exposing Iran's ruling religious tyranny, especially the oppression of women. She never compromised on her rejection of both the Shah and the mullahs’ dictatorships, refusing to trade her democratic principles for fleeting privileges.
Honorable artists like the late Marjane Satrapi stand at the forefront of the people's struggle, enriching the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom.
As a lifelong Iranian football fan (and a former striker myself), it hurts to see national team players praising Khamenei under any excuse.
I’ve followed Team Melli since childhood. A player isn’t obliged to go that far.
Remember Habib Khabiri, captain of Iran’s national football team, who refused to hold Khomeini’s photo during a game. He was later executed by the regime.
I haven’t read of any government in history that has executed a former national football captain and so many other prominent sportsmen and women, including young January protesters like 19-year-old champion wrestler Saleh Mohammadi.

A disturbing ARD investigation this week documents harassment, intimidation and violence against Iranian dissidents by elements aligned with the son of the former Shah. The future of Iran belongs to the Iranian people, which is why I stand with @Maryam_Rajavi's Ten-Point Plan.
🚨 Iran’s regime has UPHELD the death sentence against engineer Zahra Tabari, 68, for holding a banner reading “Woman, Resistance, Freedom.”
She faces imminent hanging after a sham retrial presided over by the son of the judge who initially sentenced her.
#SaveZahraTabari
Arrest and Background
Zahra Tabari, 68, is an electrical engineer holding a Master’s degree in sustainable energy from the University of Borås in Sweden. She worked for 30 years as a specialist for the Gilan Electricity Administration. Security agents raided her home in Rasht in April 2025 without a judicial warrant, confiscating personal electronics and placing her in solitary confinement for a month. She had previously been targeted by the regime in June 2022, when she was arrested for social media posts and sentenced to 18 months under house arrest with an electronic tag. She is currently being held in Lakan Prison in Rasht, where she suffers from chronic health conditions exacerbated by a lack of proper medical care and constant psychological pressure.
The Evidence and Charges
The Iranian authorities charged her with armed rebellion (Baghi) and maintaining ties with the opposition People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI or MEK). The sole physical evidence brought against her was a piece of cloth found in her possession bearing the slogan "Woman, Resistance, Freedom"—which authorities claim she intended to use as a banner to challenge their rule—alongside an unsent audio message on her phone.
The Judicial Farce: Trial and Retrial
On 25 October 2025, Branch 1 of the Rasht Revolutionary Court, presided over by the notorious judge Ahmad Darvish-Goftar, sentenced her to death. The sentence was decided before the proceedings even finished; the trial itself was a sham 10-minute session held via video conference, during which she was denied her chosen legal representation and given a state-appointed lawyer who endorsed the prosecution's guilty verdict.
Following widespread global protests—including an urgent appeal by over 400 prominent international women leaders, Nobel laureates, and former heads of state—the Supreme Court theatrically referred her case for a retrial. However, the case was sent to Branch 2 of the Rasht Revolutionary Court, which is presided over by Mohammad Ali Darvish-Goftar—the son of the original judge, Ahmad Darvish-Goftar. Unsurprisingly, this branch rubber-stamped the original ruling on 14 April 2026, re-sentencing her to death on identical charges. This final verdict was officially served to her this past week.
International Reaction
United Nations human rights experts have explicitly condemned the initial proceedings, demanding that Iran immediately halt the execution. Eight members of the UN Special Procedures noted in a joint statement on 23 December 2025 that her case shows a pattern of severe violations of international fair trial guarantees and constitutes an inappropriate use of capital punishment for ill-defined national security offences. Because the case involves no intentional killing, the UN experts warned that executing Ms Tabari would amount to an arbitrary execution.

Today, at a press conference in Brussels, our youth presented a statement signed by more than 1000 young Iranians born after the 1979 revolution. In this statement, they declared their rejection of all forms of dictatorship- whether it is a monarchy or a theocracy- and expressed support for a democratic republic based on the 10-Point Plan proposed by NCRI's president-elect Maryam Rajavi.

Gledelig å se at tidligere politiker (KrF), Lars Rise, støtter den iranske opposisjonens massive demonstrasjon i Paris, den 20. juni 2026 ⚡️
Demonstrasjonen forener iranere fra alle hold, for en fri, sekulær, og demokratisk republikk. #100KFreeIranRally#FreeIran2026

EXCLUSIVE: Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, tells The Times that Iran's clerical regime is at its weakest point in decades.
She outlines the NCRI's 10-point plan for a democratic Iran and urges international support for regime change.
Norske politikere må være varsomme: Støtte til frihetskampen i Iran blir ofte misbrukt av Pahlavis tilhengere og fremstilt som personlig støtte til ham.
Vi bør ikke delta på markeringer organisert av hans støttespillere uten grundig gransking, og heller ikke gi blind tillit til en mann som hyller diktatur og ønsker enevelde.
Norge har et ansvar for å støtte det iranske folkets kamp for ekte demokrati – ikke et nytt regime med krone.

Det iranske folket fortjener ekte frihet, rettsstat og respekt for alle folkegrupper – ikke en ny versjon av enevelde, verken med turban eller krone.
Norge bør støtte de kreftene som kjemper for reelt demokrati. Ikke de som vil gjeninnføre autoritært styre i ny drakt.
Demokrati over enevelde. Frihet for alle folk.
