Protesters in Brussels call on EU to condemn Iran ahead of summit

Reuters - Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the European Parliament in Brussels on Wednesday, calling on the EU to condemn Iran.

The rally, organized by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), took place just a day before EU leaders meet in Cyprus for a summit.

EU leaders plan to address the conflict in Iran and the Middle East at the summit. Regional partners in the Middle East are also expected to attend.

"Protesters expect the EU to condemn the regime's wave of executions unequivocally and clearly," NCRI spokesman Shahin Gobadi told Reuters. The group is also calling for the EU to expel Iran's ambassador from European countries.

The NCRI, also known by its Persian name Mujahideen-e-Khalq, is banned in Iran and it is unclear how much support it has there. However, along with its bitter rival, the monarchists who support Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the deposed shah, it is one of the few opposition groups able to muster supporters./ CNA
