Scores of Iranian expatriates and Greek activists have rallied outside the Iranian embassy in the Athens suburb of Psychiko, condemning Tehran’s crackdown on dissent and chanting the slogan that has defined the opposition movement: “Women, life, freedom.” The demonstration comes amid renewed international outrage over reports of escalating state violence and executions in Iran. Protesters waved pre-revolutionary flags and held placards denouncing the clerical regime, echoing calls for justice that began with the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini. “We are showing our solidarity with a people who are struggling,” one organizer told the crowd. “We bow our heads to the victims of these days, who number in the thousands.” The gathering follows a sharp rebuke of Tehran by Greek officials earlier this week. Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis on Wednesday termed the execution of young protesters “abhorrent” and an “outrage” during a joint address with his Dutch counterpart. Rights groups warn that Iranian security forces are intensifying measures against activists demanding political freedoms and women’s rights. Friday’s rally in Athens is part of a coordinated effort by the diaspora across Europe to pressure Western governments to hold Iranian leadership accountable for ongoing human rights violations.
