The number of executions over the past two weeks has reached at least 64.
Today, political prisoners in 24 prisons went on hunger strike as part of the 41st week of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign.
The international community’s inaction against the regime—the godfather of executions and terrorism—has encouraged further crimes and warmongering. The Iranian Resistance once again underscores the necessity of isolating this regime from the international community. The leaders of this regime must be brought to justice for four decades of crimes against humanity and genocide.
