The 98th Week of the \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d Campaign Held in 55 Prisons Across Iran<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Tuesday, December 9, 2025 marks the 98th consecutive week<\/a> of the *\u201c*No to Execution Tuesdays<\/a>\u201d<\/em>\u00a0campaign\u2014an unprecedented act of coordinated civil resistance across 55 prisons in Iran. This week unfolds under two deeply troubling developments:<\/p>\n
\n
the suspicious death of justice-seeking lawyer Khosrow Alikordi, a steadfast supporter of the campaign, and<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
the issuance of a death sentence for political prisoner Karim Khojasteh in Rasht\u2019s Lakan Prison.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Amid this dark escalation, striking prisoners reaffirm that executions in Iran have ceased to be a \u201cjudicial measure\u201d and now function as a deliberate state policy\u2014organized crime rooted in systematic denial of the right to life.<\/p>\n
A Justice-Seeking Lawyer Silenced: The Suspicious Death of Khosrow Alikordi<\/h3>\n
Khosrow Alikordi<\/strong>, known for defending detainees of the 2022 nationwide uprising and supporting families demanding justice, died this week under circumstances that colleagues describe as highly suspicious. His loss is widely felt among human-rights defenders and the broader community of Iranians resisting state repression.<\/p>\n

Death Sentence for Political Prisoner Karim Khojasteh<\/h3>\n
At the same time, authorities escalated their campaign of terror by handing political prisoner Karim Khojasteh<\/strong> a death sentence.
This comes during one of the deadliest execution surges in recent months:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
95 people executed in just the past week, including two women.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
More than 200 executions between November 22 and December 8.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This wave of killings is widely viewed as a regime tactic to crush social discontent and preempt future uprisings.<\/p>\n

The 98th Week of the \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d Campaign Held in 55 Prisons Across Iran<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Tuesday, December 9, 2025 marks the 98th consecutive week<\/a> of the *\u201c*No to Execution Tuesdays<\/a>\u201d<\/em>\u00a0campaign\u2014an unprecedented act of coordinated civil resistance across 55 prisons in Iran. This week unfolds under two deeply troubling developments:<\/p>\n
\n
the suspicious death of justice-seeking lawyer Khosrow Alikordi, a steadfast supporter of the campaign, and<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
the issuance of a death sentence for political prisoner Karim Khojasteh in Rasht\u2019s Lakan Prison.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Amid this dark escalation, striking prisoners reaffirm that executions in Iran have ceased to be a \u201cjudicial measure\u201d and now function as a deliberate state policy\u2014organized crime rooted in systematic denial of the right to life.<\/p>\n
A Justice-Seeking Lawyer Silenced: The Suspicious Death of Khosrow Alikordi<\/h3>\n
Khosrow Alikordi<\/strong>, known for defending detainees of the 2022 nationwide uprising and supporting families demanding justice, died this week under circumstances that colleagues describe as highly suspicious. His loss is widely felt among human-rights defenders and the broader community of Iranians resisting state repression.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$
Khosrow Alikordi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
His voice, courage, and advocacy remain an enduring part of the \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d movement.<\/p>\n
Death Sentence for Political Prisoner Karim Khojasteh<\/h3>\n
At the same time, authorities escalated their campaign of terror by handing political prisoner Karim Khojasteh<\/strong> a death sentence.
This comes during one of the deadliest execution surges in recent months:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
95 people executed in just the past week, including two women.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
More than 200 executions between November 22 and December 8.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This wave of killings is widely viewed as a regime tactic to crush social discontent and preempt future uprisings.<\/p>\n
