68th Week of the \u201cNo to Executions Tuesdays\u201d Campaign in Iran<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, prisoners across Iran will engage in another coordinated hunger strike as part of the \u201cNo to Executions Tuesdays<\/a>\u201d campaign, now in its 68th consecutive week<\/strong><\/a>. The movement spans **41 prisons<\/strong> and is a response to the sharp rise in executions, particularly of political prisoners.<\/p>\n**
In a joint statement, inmates decried the recent death sentences issued against Amin (Peyman) Farahavar Gisavandani<\/strong>, a poet from Gilan, and Ehsan Faridi<\/strong>, a university student from Tabriz. Both were convicted of moharebeh<\/em> (enmity against God) and *baghi<\/em> (armed rebellion) without access to independently chosen legal counsel.<\/p>\n*
***$\"\"$*** Peyman Farahavar and Ehsan Faridi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Since the beginning of the Persian month of Ordibehesht (April 21, 2025), more than 96 executions<\/strong> have been reported\u2014an average of at least four per day<\/strong>. The statement describes this as an \u201cacceleration of executions\u201d and calls on international human rights organizations to publicly identify and pursue legal action against judges responsible for such rulings.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cIn every corner of this land, the flag of resistance to executions must be raised, and the voice of protest must be heard loud and clear,\u201d the statement urges.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
This week\u2019s campaign also honors the late Barzan Mohammadi<\/strong>, a former political prisoner and campaign supporter who recently died in a tragic accident. His memory is commemorated by fellow prisoners participating in the protest.<\/p>\n

Today marks the 68th week of the No to Execution Tuesdays campaign. This coordinated hunger strike across Iran continues despite the Iranian regime\u2019s ongoing executions. #en_simayazadi<\/a> #FreeIran2025<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/vZlvo1pW8T<\/a><\/p>\n
