On September 6, 2025, Brussels witnessed an extraordinary demonstration as tens of thousands of Iranians and international supporters gathered at Atomium Square. Organized by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and more than 300 Iranian communities worldwide, the rally marked the 60th anniversary of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the principal opposition to Iran’s theocratic regime. Participants called for a secular, democratic, and non-nuclear Iran, while demanding firm international action against the clerical dictatorship.

The event featured keynote addresses by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, NCRI’s President-elect, alongside a distinguished roster of global dignitaries, including former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, former Speaker of the UK Parliament John Bercow, Belgian MEP Kris Van Dijck, former U.S. Congressman Patrick Kennedy, and former European Parliament Vice President Alejo Vidal-Quadras. Iranian activists from multiple generations also took the stage, representing a nationwide struggle for liberty.
