On 20 June 2026, 50,000 members of Iranian communities and supporters from across Europe and beyond gathered in Paris for a free and democratic Iran, following months of preparation despite a last-minute ban imposed on 18 June by the French authorities. Over 100,000 participants were expected to join, but due to the ban nearly 50,000 made the journey on more than 800 buses, along with thousands traveling by car, train, and air from across the continent. The demonstration, followed by the Free Iran World Summit, sent a powerful message of support for the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom, an end to executions, and the establishment of a democratic republic based on Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan.
