Today, MEPs stood in solidarity with Iran’s political prisoners participating in the #NoToExecutionTuesdays campaign.

Since January 2024, what began with a number of prisoners has grown into a movement spanning 66 prisons across Iran.

Every Tuesday, prisoners on death row and political prisoners, go on hunger strike to make their voices heard. They chose Tuesday because it is the day prisoners are transferred to solitary confinement ahead of execution.

Their message is clear: #StopExecutionsInIran

Last week, @Ginitastar joined the hunger-striking prisoners in solidarity. Today, @SRfreedex_LMG joined the campaign by undertaking a hunger strike.

Thank you to all the MEPs standing up against executions in Iran, and special thanks to @petras_petras for spearheading this vital campaign.

Sind die Schlägertrupps Reza Pahlavis etwa auch unter den Unterzeichnern?
Eine organisierte Unterschriftenkampagne ist – unabhängig von der Zahl der Unterschriften – kein Ersatz für demokratische Legitimation. Sie beantwortet auch nicht die grundlegenden Fragen zu Reza Pahlavis politischen Positionen und seiner Vorstellung von der Zukunft Irans.
Mehrere zentrale Fragen geben ernsthaften Anlass zur Sorge:
Das Erbe der Folter und Repression unter seinem Vater: Reza Pahlavi erklärte in einem Interview: „I am proud of the heritage of my grandfather and my father.“ Worauf bezieht er sich? Erkennt er die Folter, die politische Verfolgung und die Repressionen unter der Herrschaft seines Vaters uneingeschränkt an und verurteilt er sie ausdrücklich?
Ist er bereit, die erbliche Herrschaft ausdrücklich auszuschließen?
Wie rechtfertigt er seine Forderungen nach beziehungsweise seine Begrüßung ausländischer Militärangriffe auf Iran – angesichts der verheerenden Folgen, die solche Angriffe für die iranische Bevölkerung und die Souveränität des Landes haben können?
Das sind keine nebensächlichen Fragen.
Und noch ein wichtiger Punkt: 1.700 Unterschriften sind kein nationales Mandat. Sie belegen allenfalls, dass die betreffenden Personen diese Erklärung unterzeichnet haben. Sie berechtigen niemanden dazu, ihre Unterstützung automatisch als den Willen des gesamten iranischen Volkes darzustellen.
Inzwischen laufen in fast jedem Bundesland Ermittlungsverfahren gegen die Schlägertrupps aus dem Umfeld von Reza Pahlavi, die gezielt und gewaltsam gegen Veranstaltungen anderer iranischer Gruppen vorgehen, um diese einzuschüchtern. Die ARD-Sendung Kontraste thematisierte am 28. Mai 2026 in ihrem Beitrag „Wie gespalten ist die iranische Opposition?“ unter anderem Vorwürfe von Anfeindungen und Bedrohungen gegen Journalistinnen, Journalisten und andere Kritiker im Umfeld der iranischen Opposition.
https://t.co/IvJkHUb6mq
Das sind alarmierende Signale, die von allen demokratischen Parteien ernst genommen werden müssen.
Gewiss sind unter den 1.700 Unterzeichnern auch Personen aus der Schlägerbande, die eine enge persönliche Beziehung zu Reza Pahlavi pflegen.

Das eingefügte Bild zeigt, wie ein enger Vertrauter Reza Pahlavis im September 2026 bei einer nichtmonarchistischen Veranstaltung einen Demonstrationsteilnehmer angreift und verletzt.

Ob es sich um 1.700 Unterzeichner oder um die viel zitierte Behauptung Reza Pahlavis handelt, im Iran gebe es 160.000 Militärangehörige, die desertiert seien oder bereitstünden, zu desertieren und für ihn zu kämpfen – was sich als reine Lüge entpuppt hat –, beides zeigt nur eines: den Versuch, politische Legitimation durch Lobbyarbeit und Manipulation zu konstruieren.
Dass die geplante Preisverleihung an Reza Pahlavi durch reine Lobbyarbeit zustande gekommen ist, steht nicht zur Disposition. Vielmehr stellt sich die Frage, ob Bijan Djir-Sarai durch seine Lobbyarbeit für die höchst antidemokratische Strömung um Reza Pahlavi die einst von namhaften und hochgeschätzten Politikerinnen und Politikern wie Gerhart Baum, Burkhard Hirsch und Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger geprägte FDP noch tiefer ins Abseits treibt oder ob er ihr hilft.
Diese Frage müssen die klugen FDP-Politikerinnen und -Politiker ernst nehmen und beantworten. #No2ShahNo2Mullahs

Speaking to thousands outside the UN, I said it plainly: the MEK is the organization the ayatollahs & IRGC fear most. Under Maryam Rajavi, the MEK and NCRI can provide the provisional gov for a transition to real deomcracy in Iran. The time has come to bet on the people of Iran.

Honored to speak to thousands of @NCRIUS supporters outside the UN! I said: Iran’s seat at the @UN belongs to its people, not its rulers. Iranians reject both the Shah and the mullahs. I stand with the Resistance Units within Iran and Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan for a free republic.

This evening, at the congress of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the largest opposition organization against the clerical regime in Tehran, a woman, #Mahnaz_Maimanat, was elected as the organization’s new Secretary General. A corresponding #MEK press release can be found at the end of this note. The congress was held on the anniversary of the organization’s founding.

Also today, the regime announced that it had arrested a group of the organization’s activists and supporters. In recent days, they had staged a protest action involving motorcycles and cars to mark the anniversary of the organization’s founding.
-----------------
Ms. Mahnaz Maimanat Elected Secretary General of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran at PMOI large gathering at start of 62nd year of the Organization’s Founding

PMOI Members Vote in Seven Countries in Three Sequential Rounds

- Mahnaz Maimanat was a member of the Executive Committee since 1989, member of the Leadership Council since 1993, member of the Central Council since 2014, and co-Secretary General since 2021. She received 56 percent of the votes in the first round of voting.

- Ms. Maimanat’s mother and two brothers were killed by the clerical regime.

- In a message, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi described Ms. Maimanat as a woman who has combined dynamism and defiant spirit with an even deeper sense of commitment and responsibility for the freedom of the Iranian people and her homeland. With this election, the PMOI declared its firm determination in toppling the ruling religious fascism.

At the start of the sixty-second year of the founding of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the Organization’s new Secretary General was elected in three sequential rounds of voting in seven countries.

In its large gathering on September 6, 2026, held simultaneously in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Albania, the PMOI elected Ms. Mahnaz Maimanat as the Organization’s new Secretary General. The position is a two-year term and can be renewed by the PMOI’s Central Council. The Secretary General is elected in three rounds. In the first round, members of the Central Council and in the second round, officials and cadres from various sections engaged in deliberations. The voting is carried out by secret ballot. In the third and final round, all available members vote by raising their hands.

The large gathering to elect the new Secretary General was convened by Ms. Zohreh Akhyani, the Chair of the PMOI’s Central Council. In the first round, Ms. Mahnaz Maimanat, Badri Pourtabbakh, and Narges Azdanlou received 56%, 24%, and 20% of the vote respectively.

Born in 1959 in Tehran, Ms. Maimanat became acquainted with the PMOI as a university student. She took part in demonstrations and the uprising against the Shah’s dictatorship and became a member of the PMOI after the victory of the anti-monarchical revolution. She continued her studies at Tehran University’s School of Agriculture until universities were shut down during Khomeini’s so-called Cultural Revolution.

She became a member of the PMOI Executive Committee in 1989, and assumed responsibility for the PMOI’s Central Office in 1991. She became a member of the Organization’s Leadership Council in 1993, a member of the Central Council in 2014, and the co-Secretary General in 2021.

Ms. Maimanat’s mother, Akhtar Mowlavi, was a teacher when she joined the PMOI along with her children. She was killed in 1988 by the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). One of Ms. Maimanat’s brothers, Massoud, (19), was arrested in 1982 and shot by firing squad in Evin Prison in August 1983 after seven months of torture. Her other brother, Mahmoud, (28), studying architecture at Tehran University, was executed on July 30, 1988, in Gohardasht Prison during the 1988 massacre of political prisoners. Another brother was sentenced to four years of imprisonment in exile in Borazjan, in the southern province of Bushehr, solely for keeping in contact with his sister.

Ms. Maimanat’s father, Abdollah Maimanat, was a highly respected judge who, after Khomeini came to power and brought the judiciary under his control, resigned from the bench and went into law practice. Throughout the 1980s, he went from one prison to another looking for his children, and for the rest of his life, he searched for their graves.

At the end of gathering, Ms. Akhyani introduced the former Secretary General Ms. Zahra Merrikhi as the new Chair of the Central Council. According to the rules of procedure, the former Secretary General assumes the Chairmanship of the Central Council.

At the end of the vote, Ms. Maimanat thanked all members of the PMOI and introduced Ms. Badri Pourtabbakh and Ms. Narges Azdanlou as her senior deputies.

In a message after the election of the new Secretary General, Mrs. #MaryamRajavi lauded the values embodied in, and enduring contributions of Ms. Zahra Merrikhi, the previous Secretary General. She described Ms. Maimanat as a woman of noble character who has combined dynamism and a defiant spirit with an even deeper sense of commitment and responsibility for the freedom of the Iranian people and her homeland. With this election, the PMOI declared its firm determination to topple the ruling religious fascism.

این سخن من نیست؛

این را زنی می‌گوید که رژیم حاکم بر ایران او را دشمن شماره‌یک خود می‌داند، زیرا به یک حقیقت ایمان دارد: می‌توان این استبداد را شکست داد و آینده‌ای متفاوت ساخت.

مریم رجوی از تغییر سخن می‌گوید، اما نه تغییرِ بی‌برنامه و نه انتقام و هرج‌ومرج؛ بلکه از وجود یک مقاومت سازمان‌یافته، برنامه‌ای برای انتقال قدرت، یک دولت موقت با مأموریتی محدود، انتخابات آزاد و استقرار یک جمهوری دمکراتیک بر پایهٔ طرح ده‌ماده‌ای!

و شاید مهم‌تر از همه این است که در این نگاه، جان انسان‌ها ارزش برابر دارد؛ جان یک ایرانی، یک آمریکایی، یک عرب، یک اسرائیلی و هر انسانی در هر نقطه جهان.

زیرا دشمن واقعی انسان‌ها، مردم و ملت‌ها نیستند؛ دیکتاتوری، جنگ‌افروزی، تروریسم و رژیم‌هایی هستند که برای بقای خود، از جان انسان‌ها هزینه می‌کنند.

این است معنای یک آلترناتیو مسئول:
نه خلأ قدرت، نه انتقام، نه هرج‌ومرج؛ بلکه انتقال قدرت به مردم، آزادی انتخاب و جمهوری دمکراتیک.
