John Bercow, former Speaker of the UK House of Commons, supports the #100KFreeIranRally on 20 June in Paris.
Standing with the Iranian people and the NCRI #FreeIran10PointPlan, he calls for an end to executions and rejects all forms of dictatorship, turbaned or crowned.

Ali Younesi, an imprisoned elite student and political prisoner held in Ghezel Hesar Prison, has responded to the misuse of his name and image by supporters of the former Shah’s regime.
Here is a letter he wrote from prison.

Background: Ali Younesi is a former computer engineering student at Sharif University of Technology and is widely regarded as one of Iran’s most accomplished young academic talents. In 2018, he won a gold medal at the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics in China, having previously earned both silver and gold medals in Iran’s National Astronomy Olympiad.

He was arrested in April 2020 and was reportedly brought home with visible injuries following his detention. His family was also subjected to pressure and interrogation. Iranian judicial authorities later accused him and Amir Hossein Moradi, another outstanding student at Sharif University, of having links to the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).

Amnesty International condemns the arbitrary executions of January 2026 protesters Mehrdad Mohammadinia & Ashkan Maleki on 1 June after a grossly unfair trial by a Revolutionary Court. We are horrified by the political executions of at least 41 people in Iran since 28 Feb. 1/4

[Majid Sadeghpour @MRSadeghpour]

Honored to join our community members at a @HouseForeignGOP @HouseForeign hearing today featuring @SecRubio, to urge US to condemn political executions in Iran. Ali Younesi and other political prisoners in Iran need our support.

I support Maryam Rajavi's Ten-Point Plan for a free, democratic and non-nuclear Iran. No to executions. No to dictatorship, crowned or turbaned. Join the 100,000-strong Free Iran Rally in Paris on 20 June 2026. #100kFreeIranRally

Andreas Schieder: Herr Präsident! Sehr geehrte Kolleginnen und Kollegen! Noch nie war die Ablehnung des iranischen Regimes durch die eigene, durch die iranische Bevölkerung größer als jetzt, und der Preis, den die Bevölkerung dafür zahlt, für diesen Widerstand, ist ein sehr hoher. Denn die grenzenlose Brutalität, die des Regimes, kann auch den Widerstand der Bevölkerung nicht stoppen.

Daher ist es ganz wichtig, dass wir hier von diesem Ort aus noch einmal erinnern: Es braucht die Freilassung der politischen Gefangenen. Es braucht einen internationalen Gerichtshof, der dann auch die Mullahs und die Revolutionsgarden zur Rechenschaft und Verantwortung zieht.

Und wir brauchen eine Unterstützung der politischen Opposition im Land, und zwar jener Opposition, die eine demokratische Zukunft für den Iran will. Ich habe da so meine Zweifel, ob eine Unterstützung des Schah-Sohns hier der richtige Weg ist.

Und wir müssen diese demokratischen Kräfte unterstützen für einen demokratischen Iran. Einen Iran, der multiethnisch ist, der multireligiös ist, der den Frauen und den Minderheiten im Land auch wieder ihren Raum gibt in der Demokratie. Dafür müssen wir eintreten und dafür kämpft auch das Volk im Iran.

.@petras_petras : Mr President, Madam Commissioner, Council President, dear colleagues, the Iranian regime continues its ruthless and bloody crackdown on its perceived internal enemies – the political opposition and civil society – in an effort to cling on to power at any cost.

The international community must respond promptly and appropriately to the regime’s crimes against humanity and political persecution, using all available means.

I call on the European Union and its Member States to initiate a special United Nations tribunal to investigate the crimes committed by the Iranian regime against its civil society and opposition. It is crucial that those responsible for those crimes are brought to justice and held accountable.

In the name of the family of the recently executed Vahid Bani-Amerian, I call on you, colleagues, to work together for justice and accountability. In the face of the challenges of the war in the Middle East, we cannot turn a blind eye to the Iranian regime's ongoing repression within the country.

.@MounirSatouri : Monsieur le Président, profitant du chaos régional provoqué par les attaques israélo-américaines, Téhéran intensifie sa guerre implacable contre son propre peuple. On est nombreux à s'en indigner. Et c'est normal, la terreur que fait régner le régime est abjecte.

On est un peu moins nombreux à soutenir une politique étrangère qui finance la société civile afin de documenter les violations des droits humains. On est encore moins nombreux à soutenir une politique étrangère qui permet d'accorder des visas aux populations maltraitées. On est encore moins nombreux à exiger une protection réelle pour toutes celles et tous ceux qui demandent la liberté, et toujours moins nombreux à soutenir tout le spectre des forces politiques démocratiques en Iran, quand certains ici feraient déjà de Pahlavi leur candidat pour l'Iran de demain, au mépris de l'expression du peuple iranien.

Je vous invite, je nous invite, j'invite l'exécutif européen à tirer l'ensemble des conséquences de notre condamnation unanime du régime des mollahs et à ne pas répéter les erreurs du passé.

Terwijl de wereld meekijkt met regionale conflicten, voert het Iraanse regime de executies van politieke gevangenen schrikbarend op. Europarlementariër Jessika van Leeuwen @jessikavanlee24 roept op tot actie: “We kunnen niet onderhandelen over vrede als Iran niet stopt met het executeren van politieke gevangenen.”

In een brief aan premier Rob Jetten @MinPres roept zij, samen met mede-ondertekenaars, op om stelling te nemen en de onderhandelingen op te schorten zolang de executies doorgaan.

[Giulio Terzi @GiulioTerzi]

This morning, I attended the press conference hosted by Hon. Naike Gruppioni at the Chamber of Deputies, titled "Iran: The Right to Life in Danger," which was attended by the Vice President of the Chamber, Hon. Fabio Rampelli, Senator Marco Scurria, and the President of FIDU, Prof. Antonio Stango, with the online participation of the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance in Iran (NCRI), Ms. @Maryam_Rajavi, and moderated by journalist Mauro Bazzucchi. With her authoritative address, President Rajavi confirms herself, today more than ever, as the most authoritative voice for stirring honest consciences and revealing how deeply the Ayatollahs’ regime affects not only the dire conditions in which the Iranian people are forced to live, but also the current scenarios of ongoing international crises. We must dare name things for what they are: for decades we have been witnessing a “great deception.” A veil of lies and appeasement has allowed a Nazi-fundamentalist regime to thrive, relying on systematic violence against its own people, racism, anti-Semitism, and the export of terrorism across the Middle East and beyond. The blame for this decline lies not only upon the criminals in power in Tehran, but also upon those at the international level who have chosen to “turn a blind eye” for reasons that are far from being transparent. The covert nuclear program is a glaring example of this hypocrisy. While the regime denied all charges, it was the MEK/PMOI that first exposed the mullahs’ nuclear plans as early as 2002. I recalled how, even in 2008, the Iranian Resistance had warned the world at the United Nations about the horrors of a nuclear arsenal in the hands of an aggressive and terrorist theocracy.
The consequences of this “great deception” have become unsustainable for the entire international community, with: threats to freedom of navigation and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, whereby the regime blackmails the world by closing the straits, starving the people, and blocking access to energy resources and food supplies; internal repression, while the regime tortures and executes genuine dissidents, we witness the farce of “fake opponents” living in luxury abroad, ready to smile for the cameras without having any connection to the Iranian people. On the contrary, the strength of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) lies in having built a credible proposal. There is no more time for appeasement or for temporary solutions that “grant” conditional and trickle-down transit through the Strait of Hormuz, rationed by Tehran.
History teaches us that there will be neither peace nor stability unless the regime is removed by an internal force and through a decision by the entire Iranian population. In this regard, I have emphasized how the expectations for a form of government that guarantees freedom, equality, and democratic pluralism in the country are fulfilled in the proposal supported by the NCRI for several years through its “10-Point Plan.” An Iran that renounces its military nuclear program, respects international law, is committed to the fight against terrorism and the prevention of the illegitimate use of force, and establishes relations with all countries in the region on the basis of security and peace.
Finally, I invited the participants to honor the tens of thousands of dissidents and protesters killed in recent years. Many of them sacrificed their lives to affirm their membership in the People’s Mujahedin Organization. There was much clamour over the photograph circulated by the international press, showing six death row inmates who were able to pass it out of the prison where they were being held—awaiting execution—while displaying the emblems of the MEK/PMOI and images of leader Maryam Rajavi.
The statistics are chilling: 2,159 death sentences in 2025 and already 700 executions in the first months of 2026. In the wake of this river of blood, any attempt to engage in dialogue proposed by those seeking to replace the current regime through a transition process involving active participation by security forces—currently designated by the international community as terrorist organizations—would constitute yet another grave deception, first and foremost against the Iranian people.
The problem of Iran can be solved only by the Iranian people and its truly democratic components, who have demonstrated the determination to resist the regime and to change the country at the cost of their own blood.

Amid arbitrary executions of protesters and dissidents since 28 February, urgent diplomatic action is needed to halt further executions in Iran! Iranian authorities must implement a moratorium on all executions now & abolish the death penalty!

While the Iranian regime upholds the death sentence of political prisoner Manouchehr Fallah over alleged affiliation with the PMOI, and after the execution this morning of two Kurdish political prisoners, Ramin Zaleh and Karim Maroufpour, the European Parliament has adopted a resolution against the regime’s execution machine.
It is time to end appeasement and stand firm vis-à-vis the regime.
MEPs continue to call to #StopExecutionsInIran and urge increased pressure on the Iranian regime.
