No to Executions Tuesdays Campaign Across Iran\u2019s Prisons \u2013 The Week 67<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, the 67th week<\/a> of the \u201cNo to Executions Tuesdays<\/a>\u201d Campaign was marked by widespread hunger strikes across 41 prisons in Iran. This protest coincides with the execution of at least 29 prisoners and the fatal shooting of a civilian, signaling what the Campaign describes as the regime\u2019s intensified reliance on executions as its main method of repression.<\/p>\n

According to the Campaign\u2019s latest statement<\/a>, the week saw the hanging of 15 prisoners on April 30 and another 9 on May 4. These executions raise the total number carried out by the regime since the start of 2025 to at least 154. In addition to these executions, a citizen named Azim Farrokhvand<\/strong> was shot and killed by government forces in Dezful<\/strong>, during a protest against the execution of two detainees. The Campaign identifies Farrokhvand as the first martyr of the \u201cNo to Execution\u201d movement and honors his memory.<\/p>\n
