Solidarity and Week 113 Statement

The “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign, in its 113th week, extends its greetings on the occasions of Eid al-Fitr and Nowruz 1405 to the people of Iran, especially to the families of those who lost their lives during the uprising of January 2026 (Dey 1404), and to all those who, over the past year, have been killed by the oppressive and repressive regime of  the absolute clerical rule (Velayat-e Faqih).

We express our deepest gratitude and appreciation to all individuals, teachers’ unions, retirees, workers, families of death row prisoners, independent media, and everyone who has raised their voice in defense of those sentenced to death. We hope that the year 1405 will be a year of freedom for Iran—an Iran without torture or executions.

Condemnation of Executions in Iran

Over the past year, the execution-driven regime has hanged more than 2,650 of our fellow citizens across the country. In a particularly cruel act, on the eve of Nowruz, three courageous young men—Mehdi Ghasemi, Saeed Davoodi, and Saleh Mohammadi—who had been arrested during the Dey protests, were executed in Qom.

We, the members of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign, strongly condemn these arbitrary and criminal executions carried out to instill fear and terror in society. We call on the United Nations, governments worldwide, and human rights organizations to put pressure on the Iranian authorities to ensure at least the minimum حقوق of prisoners are respected—especially those detained in recent months, who are being held under torture in conditions of communication blackout and internet shutdown, and who face the risk of execution. We also demand the release of political prisoners.

Particularly under conditions of bombardment, prisoners’ lives are at even greater risk. Many detainees suffer from shortages of food and lack of medical care. In the past week alone, dozens of prisoners in Chabahar Prison were killed or injured by prison authorities after protesting the lack of adequate food supplies.

It should be noted that statements from this campaign for the past two weeks (weeks 111 and 112) were not published due to communication disruptions.
