Week 50: No to Executions Campaign in Iran\u2019s Prisons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A Nationwide Protest Against State Executions<\/h4>\n

Iran\u2019s \u201cNo to Executions Tuesdays<\/a>\u201d campaign has reached a significant milestone, marking its 50th week of resistance against the regime\u2019s rising execution rates. The movement has gained widespread support, with prisoners in 30 facilities nationwide participating in hunger strikes to protest the government\u2019s use of executions as a tool of oppression.<\/p>\n

This week, inmates from Sepidar and Ramhormoz prisons joined the campaign, emphasizing the growing solidarity among justice seekers and victims\u2019 families. These protests align with the anniversary of the Ukrainian airliner tragedy, a somber reminder of the regime\u2019s continued atrocities.<\/p>\n

Grim Statistics Underscore the Urgency<\/h4>\n

The Iranianregime executed over 1,000 individuals in 2024<\/a>, setting a chilling record. On January 1, 2025, 21 more individuals were executed, fueling outrage both domestically and internationally. The movement has now extended its reach to major prisons, including Evin, Ghezel Hesar, and Sheiban Ahvaz. Activists are calling for the abolition of the death penalty, urging Iran to join the 128 countries that have already eliminated capital punishment.<\/p>\n
