The prisoners in Gohardasht Prison and Central Prison in Karaj launched a protest on Sunday to save dozens of their cellmates who are on the verge of execution.<br \/>Inmates who are on the verge of execution include a number of young prisoners sentenced to death who were chanting in the July protest in Ghezelhesar Prison &#8220;We will not let you kill us anymore! We will not let you execute our cellmates!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the families gathered in front of Karaj Court and chanted &#8220;We will not let you execute them.&#8221; A short video of heartbreaking cries of families of 16 prisoners facing execution can be seen here : https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UGdEygQslR8<br \/>These executions have increased since the \u201cmoderate\u201d President Hassan Rouhani took office.<br \/><strong>Women: More repression under Rouhani<\/strong><br \/>Repression of Iranian women and activists has also worsened under Rouhani, a UN rights investigator said in March.
