\"The
The 99th Week of the No to Execution Tuesdays Campaign in 55 Prisons Across Iran<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tuesday, December 16, 2025, marks the\u00a099th consecutive week<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0of the\u00a0\u201c\u00a0\u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays<\/a>\u201d\u00a0\u201d<\/em>\u00a0campaign \u2014 an enduring act of defiance led by political prisoners across\u00a055 prisons in Iran<\/strong>. This week\u2019s protests coincide with the\u00a0International Day of Reconciliation<\/strong>, a day intended to represent peace \u2014 yet in Iran, the regime has tightened its grip on death and repression.<\/p>\n

The campaign\u2019s latest statement denounces the reaffirmation of death sentences for\u00a0six political prisoners<\/strong>\u00a0in Qezel Hesar Prison and a new death verdict for\u00a0Ramin Zeleh<\/strong>, a Kurdish political prisoner in Naqadeh. At least\u00a067 prisoners were executed<\/strong>\u00a0in the past week alone, bringing the total since November 22 to\u00a0271 executions<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 evidence of a systematic policy of killing that shreds the very concept of justice.<\/p>\n

Reconciliation Impossible Without Justice<\/h3>\n

While the world marks a day dedicated to reconciliation, Iran\u2019s rulers accelerate executions to silence dissent. The statement declares that\u00a0\u201cexecution is the absolute negation of justice and the denial of any possibility for social reconciliation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

For nearly one hundred weeks, the campaign has turned prisons into platforms of peaceful resistance, defending the\u00a0right to life<\/em>\u00a0against a regime that has institutionalized the gallows as a political weapon.<\/p>\n

Reaffirmed Death Sentences and New Threats<\/h3>\n

During the past week,\u00a0Branch 26 of Tehran\u2019s sham Revolutionary Court<\/strong>\u00a0reaffirmed the death sentences of six political prisoners in Qezel Hesar:
\nBabak Alipour, Pouya Ghobadi, Vahid Bani Amerian, Akbar (Shahrokh) Daneshvarkar, Mohammad Taghavi,<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Abolhassan Montazer<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 all among the members of the\u00a0No to Execution Tuesdays<\/em>\u00a0campaign.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the same machinery of repression sentenced\u00a0Ramin Zeleh<\/strong>, a political prisoner held in Naqadeh, to death on the charge of\u00a0armed rebellion (baghy)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The campaign also reported that\u00a0Ehsan Rostami<\/strong>, a well-known cultural activist, was charged with\u00a0baghy<\/em>\u00a0and transferred to solitary confinement in Evin Prison on December 11, raising concern about heightened pressure and possible issuance of a death sentence.<\/p>\n

A Policy of Elimination and Fear<\/h3>\n

The arrests of participants at the memorial for the late\u00a0Khosro Alikordi<\/strong>\u00a0further demonstrate the regime\u2019s persistent policy of intimidation and elimination. These arrests follow the suspicious death of Alikordi \u2014 a justice-seeking lawyer remembered as a voice for the families of the executed \u2014 whose legacy continues to inspire the campaign from inside and outside prison walls.<\/p>\n

55 Prisons Join Week 99 of the Campaign<\/h3>\n

Despite relentless executions and repression, prisoners across Iran continue to unify each Tuesday in defiance. On this 99th week, hunger strikes and coordinated acts of protest are taking place in\u00a055 prisons<\/strong>, including Evin, Qezel Hesar, Karaj Central, Fardis, Greater Tehran Penitentiary, Qarchak, Sheiban, Sepidar, Shiraz Adelabad, Zahedan, Tabriz, Urmia, Mahabad, and dozens more across the country.<\/p>\n

Each act of resistance \u2014 each shared meal refused \u2014 is a collective stand against state-sanctioned killing.<\/p>\n

Week 99 \u2014 The Voice of Life Against the Machinery of Death<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0\u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d<\/em>\u00a0campaign reaffirms that reconciliation cannot exist alongside executions. It calls upon the Iranian people, international human-rights advocates, and global institutions to echo the voices of those facing death sentences \u2014 to press for justice, to expose the executions, and to support the families of the victims.<\/p>\n

After 99 weeks, the campaign continues to turn Iran\u2019s darkest chambers into spaces of unity, truth, and defiance.<\/p>\n
