The 71st Week of the No to Execution Tuesdays Campaign<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Week 71 of the \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d Campaign: Firouzabad Prison Joins Nationwide Protest<\/h3>\n
On Tuesday, June 3, 2025, the \u201cNo to Executions Tuesdays<\/a>\u201d campaign marked its 71st consecutive week<\/a> of action against the death penalty in Iran. For the first time, prisoners at Firouzabad<\/strong> Prison in Fars Province joined the protest, further expanding the campaign\u2019s reach to a total of **46 prisons<\/strong> across the country.<\/p>\n**
**$\"\"$** Firuzabad Prison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
This week\u2019s statement underscores a sharp and alarming increase in executions. Since the beginning of Khordad (May 22), at least 67 prisoners, including 3 women, have been executed\u2014averaging seven executions per day. A particularly harrowing incident occurred on May 28, when 20 prisoners were executed in a single day.<\/p>\n
The campaign highlights the systematic media silence surrounding these executions and calls on the families of those on death row to break this silence by publicly sharing information about their loved ones\u2019 cases. It warns against the deceptive tactics and threats used by intelligence agents to enforce compliance and secrecy.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cThe cry of \u2018No to Execution\u2019 must echo through every city and street,\u201d the statement declares. \u201cThis regime continues to bring mourning to families daily. Our strength lies in unity and collective resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The campaign also expresses solidarity with Iran\u2019s striking truck drivers, who are on the twelfth day of their protest. It encourages other marginalized groups to join the drivers and support their struggle.<\/p>\n
Amid this dire backdrop, the execution of Pedram Madani on espionage charges\u2014carried out in Qezel-Hesar Prison under complete media blackout\u2014highlights the regime\u2019s use of capital punishment as a political tool. Additionally, the Supreme Court\u2019s rejection of a retrial request for Mohammad Amin Mahdavi-Shayesteh, also sentenced to death for espionage by Judge Salavati, places his life in imminent danger.<\/p>\n
