Dozens of human rights organizations and institutions have issued a joint statement<\/a> in support of the \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d campaign, now in its 31st week across various Iranian prisons. This movement, initiated by political prisoners engaging in weekly hunger strikes, aims to protest the high rate of executions in Iran and has gained significant international attention.<\/p>\n The statement is calling on the international community to support the anti-execution movement in Iran, viewing the \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d campaign as a crucial initiative in the ongoing fight for human rights in the country.<\/p>\n Signatories include prominent groups such as the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty, World Organization Against Torture, and International Federation for Human Rights.<\/p>\n The campaign has also attracted support from European politicians. Two Italian Parliament members<\/a>, Paolo Formentini and Andrea Di Giuseppe, have publicly endorsed the movement, urging their government and the European Union to take a stronger stance against Iran\u2019s use of capital punishment.<\/p>\n According to the Iranian Human Rights Society, on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, prisoners in 19 prisons announced a #hunger_strike<\/a> for this week's Tuesday, and the Greater #Tehran<\/a> Prison has also joined the group of prisons.#no_to_execution<\/a> \u2014 Iran Human Rights Society (@iranhrs_en) August 27, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
