BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 19. French authorities have prohibited a planned rally by the Iranian opposition group National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) in Paris, which was scheduled for this weekend.
TurkicWorld reports that the demonstration had previously received approval months in advance, but the ban was issued on Thursday evening, according to the organisers. The People’s Mojahedin Organization, affiliated with the NCRI, said it intends to appeal the decision, though no official reason for the ban has been provided.
The prohibition comes amid heightened security measures in Paris and concerns over public order, though details on potential risks cited by authorities have not been disclosed. The NCRI had planned the rally to protest the Iranian government and raise awareness of human rights issues.
