French authorities have prohibited an Iranian opposition rally in Paris on June 20.

The event, organized by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), was intended to criticize the Iranian government. Police officials said the gathering posed a significant risk of confrontations between groups with opposing political views, potentially threatening public order. The NCRI rejected this explanation, calling it unfounded.
