Amir Hossein Moradi<\/a> and Ali Younesi<\/a>, two imprisoned Sharif University of Technology students, have called on students nationwide to join the \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d campaign. In a statement issued from Evin Prison, the two political prisoners urged unity against the regime\u2019s execution policies, stating, \u201cLet us stand hand in hand against executions, the most fundamental point of shared humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays<\/a>\u201d campaign is a coordinated protest involving hunger strikes across 25 prisons in Iran. Now in its 43rd week, the initiative aims to draw attention to the alarming surge in executions this year, which has surpassed 650, including many targeting protesters from recent uprisings. Participants aim to highlight the human cost of these policies and push for international intervention.<\/p>\n Moradi and Younesi are emblematic of the regime\u2019s repression of dissent. Both students are exceptional talents: Younesi is a gold medalist in the International Astronomy Olympiad, and Moradi is a physics student and silver medalist in the National Astronomy Olympiad. Arrested in April 2019, they were accused of acting against \u201cnational security\u201d and alleged ties to the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization<\/a> (MEK\/PMOI). After enduring over two years in solitary confinement, both were sentenced to 16 years in prison following trials criticized for lacking transparency and fairness.<\/p>\n In the Face of Increased Oppression, #Iranian<\/a> Prisoners Stand Firm Against #DeathPenalty<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/d1pCklOvYh<\/a><\/p>\n — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) September 3, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
