\"87th — 87th Week of the No to Execution Tuesdays Campaign Across 52 Prisons in Iran<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The 87th Week of the \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d Campaign<\/h3>\n
On Tuesday, September 23, 2025, the 87th week<\/a> of the \u00a0\u201c No to Execution Tuesdays<\/a>\u201d\u00a0campaign unfolds amid an alarming surge in executions across Iran. Prisoners and activists once again emphasize their core belief: *\u201cLife is the fundamental right of every human being, and execution is an unjustifiable act of violence against this right.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n*
Unprecedented Wave of Executions in Iran<\/h3>\n
This campaign week coincides with a record number of executions. Since September 16 alone, at least 46 people have been executed\u2014including two women and six Baluch citizens. In the Persian month of Shahrivar (August 21 \u2013 September 22), a staggering 186 executions were reported, seven of them women.<\/p>\n
Among the victims, the execution of Babak Shahbazi, a member of this very campaign, has become a painful symbol of injustice. Shahbazi was executed on the anniversary of the 2022 uprising, denied even a final meeting with his family. His secret removal from the ward and sudden execution triggered a sit-in protest by fellow prisoners in Qezel Hesar Prison.<\/p>\n
The Regime\u2019s Contradictions and the People\u2019s Resistance<\/h3>\n
While the authorities boast of so-called \u201cpardons,\u201d the growing tally of executions reveals the regime\u2019s grim reality. Fear and repression weigh heavily on the people, yet resistance continues to grow.<\/p>\n
With the reopening of schools, teachers, students, and young activists are once again on the frontline of the struggle for freedom, justice, and equality. Classrooms and campuses are transforming into spaces of resistance, amplifying voices against executions and state violence.<\/p>\n
A Call to Action<\/h3>\n
The \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d campaign appeals to all freedom-loving people of Iran and human rights defenders worldwide: silence in the face of such cruelty is unacceptable. Every Tuesday, voices rise to honor the victims, to defend life, and to challenge a system built on fear and death sentences.<\/p>\n
