A Broad National and International Campaign Against \u201cExecutions with Political Objectives\u201d \u2013 78<\/strong>3\u00a0Executions during Pezeshkian\u2019s Term<\/strong><\/p>\n The \u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d campaign, initiated by political prisoners in Qezelhessar Prison on January 29, 2024, in protest against the judiciary\u2019s brutal executions and inhumane death sentences, marks its 53rd week today and enters its second year. Over the past year, the campaign has evolved into a nationwide protest movement, expanding to 34 prisons across the country.<\/p>\n In addition to Qezelhessar Prison (Units 3 and 4), prisons such as Evin (women\u2019s ward and wards 4 and 8), Greater Tehran Central Prison, Karaj Central Prison, Khorin Varamin Prison, Arak Prison, Khorramabad Prison, Isfahan\u2019s Asadabad Prison, Isfahan\u2019s Dastgerd Prison, Ahvaz\u2019s Sheiban Prison, Shiraz Nezam Prison, Bam Prison, Kahnuj Prison, Tabas Prison, Mashhad Prison, Qaemshahr Prison, Rasht Lakan Prison (male and female wards), Rudsar Prison, Ardabil Prison, Tabriz Prison, Urmia Prison, Salmas Prison, Khoy Prison, Naqadeh Prison, Saqqez Prison, Baneh Prison, Marivan Prison, Kamyaran Prison, Haviq Talesh Prison, Adelabad Prison in Shiraz (women\u2019s ward), Ahvaz Sepidar Prison, Ramhormoz Prison, Jovein Prison in Khorasan Razavi, and Borazjan Prison in Bushehr have joined this protest movement and participate in hunger strikes every Tuesday over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n Executions under Iran\u2019s clerical regime are entirely political in nature and purpose. Ali Khamenei uses them as a tool to instill fear and prevent public protests and uprisings. Over the six months since Pezeshkian\u2019s appointment, at least 783\u00a0prisoners have been executed.<\/p>\n More than 3,000 parliamentarians, mayors, and political, religious, and cultural figures from 78 countries have signed a joint statement urging the international community to take decisive action to halt executions in Iran. The statement notes: \u201cIranian authorities are using these executions for political purposes, seeking to instill fear and terror to prevent the potential outbreak of uprisings by the Iranian people. Thus, any execution carried out under the ruling theocracy should be recognized as political in nature. Unfortunately, on the global stage, the lack of response to ongoing suppression, massacres, and executions over previous decades has emboldened the clerical regime to persist in its suppression and torture, particularly through executions. \u2026 we endorse and support Maryam Rajavi’s call to end executions in Iran and her steadfast commitment to abolishing the death penalty, as outlined in her Ten-Point Plan for Iran\u2019s future over the past two decades.\u201d<\/p>\n In May and June 2022, the Security and Counterterrorism Committee of the NCRI (SNCRI) disclosed confidential documents of the Iran regime\u2019s judiciary. According to these documents:<\/p>\n The 53rd week of the hunger strikes on Tuesdays of \u201cNo to Executions\u201d in Iran\u2019s prisons marks the second year of this pervasive, nationwide and international campaign against the death penalty. — Maryam Rajavi (@Maryam_Rajavi) January 28, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
