In solidarity with the resistant prisoners in Evin—those who demonstrated on May 5, 2025, defiant youth staged a series of actions in 13 cities: Qaemshahr, Eslamabad-e Gharb, Kermanshah, Kerman, Tangestan, Mashhad, Behshahr, Mehrestan, Maragheh, Birjand, Malayer, Abhar (Zanjan), and Saravan. These actions were against the strongholds of oppression and looting, and symbols of the clerical regime.
On Tuesday, May 5, 2025, the 67th week of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign, the women political prisoners in Evin Prison chanted slogans in solidarity with the political prisoners’ families on death row and in solidarity with anti-execution protests across Iran’s major cities. Some of their chants included:
* “Fear us, executioner, we are the generation of Sarbedaran (The gallows-defying generation)”
* “The women’s ward of Evin is one until the death penalty is eliminated”
* “This is the last message—execute, and there will be a revolt”
* “By the Sarbedaran oath, we will resist until the end”
On these heroic missions, the following centers were torched by the restless youth:
* Three Basij (IRGC) centers in Kermanshah, Mashhad, and Mehrestan
* Three military and battalion bases of IRGC in Tangestan, Behshahr, and Kerman
* A government hub of crime called a “Howzeh” (religious seminary) in Qaemshahr
* A center of misogynistic repression in Eslamabad-e Gharb
Moreover, images of the regime leaders—Khomeini, Khamenei, and Qassem Soleimani—along with flags and governmental signs, were toppled down in Kermanshah, Maragheh, Birjand, Malayer, Eslamabad-e Gharb, Abhar (Zanjan), and Saravan.
