\"\" — Iran, Week 59: No to Executions Tuesdays<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
On Tuesday, March 11, 2025, prisoners across 38 Iranian prisons will participate in the 59th week<\/a> of the \u201c No to Executions Tuesdays<\/a>\u201d campaign by going on a hunger strike. This ongoing protest movement has been gaining momentum in opposition to the Iranian regime\u2019s execution policies. In a significant development, a group of female prisoners from the women\u2019s ward of Sepidar Prison in Ahvaz has joined the campaign, marking International Women\u2019s Day with a powerful statement against capital punishment.<\/p>\n
A Powerful Stand on International Women\u2019s Day<\/h3>\n
The women of Sepidar Prison in Ahvaz have called for an end to the death penalty, highlighting the dire human rights situation in Iran. In their statement, they expressed solidarity with all oppressed women, particularly those who have faced relentless discrimination and violence under the current regime.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe oppressive regime in Iran continues its killing machine without pause,\u201d the statement reads. \u201cSince February 19, nearly 100 people have been executed, including 28 individuals in a single day on March 1.\u201d<\/p>\n
Their message echoes a broader call for justice, commemorating the thousands of women who have lost their lives in the struggle for freedom. They urged political activists, human rights defenders, civil society members, and labor rights advocates to rally against executions and support those on death row.<\/p>\n
