\"\" — The 78th Week of the No to Execution Tuesdays Campaign in 48 Prisons Across Iran<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
On Tuesday, July 22, 2025, the \u201cNo to Executions Tuesdays<\/a>s\u201d campaign marked its seventy-eighth week<\/a>, this time involving prisoners from 48 different prisons across Iran.<\/p>\n
In their latest statement, participants highlighted the alarming execution figures in the month of Tir (June\u2013July)\u2014at least 71 recorded executions\u2014and the increasing repression targeting supporters of the campaign. They reiterated:<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cExecution is not a path to justice, but a tool of intimidation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Once again, prisoners have announced a collective hunger strike to demand an immediate stop to executions, respect for human rights, and an end to state violence.<\/p>\n
Below is the full statement from the seventy-eighth week of the \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d campaign:<\/p>\n
The \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d Campaign Continues in 48 Iranian Prisons in Its Seventy-Eighth Week<\/h2>\n
Iran\u2019s execution-driven regime has unleashed yet another wave of violence, especially against political prisoners. Reports confirm that at least 71 executions took place in the month of Tir (June 21 \u2013 July 21), often following trials lacking due process and relying on forced confessions. This has condemned individuals to execution without fair legal proceedings.<\/p>\n
In parallel, the regime has intensified its crackdown on political activists and imprisoned supporters of the \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d campaign. Systematic repression\u2014including threats, torture, exile, arrests, family intimidation, and deprivation of basic rights\u2014continues in an attempt to silence dissent.<\/p>\n
The violent suppression extends beyond prisons. The regime\u2019s security forces have used live ammunition against civilians. The recent shooting of young Raha Sheikhi tragically illustrates the brutality of state actions.<\/p>\n
These sustained acts of violence are intended to instill fear and suppress public demands. Yet, despite these oppressive tactics, people persist in their rightful struggle for justice, freedom, dignity, and the basic right to self-determination.<\/p>\n
Campaign participants strongly denounce this inhuman wave of executions and repression. As emphasized:<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cExecution is not a path to justice, but a tool of intimidation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
They reaffirm that no government holds the legitimate right to take human life\u2014especially under circumstances marked by the denial of fair trials and systematic human rights violations.<\/p>\n
Their collective message resonates every Tuesday:<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cNo to Execution\u201d \u2014 a voice that will not fade until executions are abolished in Iran.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
