The sixty\u2011seventh week of the \u201cNo to Executions Tuesdays<\/a>\u201d campaign reverberated through 41 prisons across Iran this Tuesday, underscoring the growing defiance of political prisoners and ordinary detainees against the clerical regime\u2019s execution machine.\u202fLaunched in\u202fJanuary\u202f2024, the campaign involves coordinated hunger strikes and other forms of protests every Tuesday, turning the country\u2019s jails into platforms for denouncing state\u2011sanctioned killing.<\/p>\n

In a statement smuggled out by participants, prisoners reported that \u201cthe regime of execution and repression hanged 29 prisoners in the past week.\u201d Fifteen were put to death on April 29, 2025, and a further nine on May 3, 2025, bringing the toll since the start of the Persian year on March 20, 2025, to at least\u202f154.\u202fThe statement adds that security forces in Dezful shot dead 26\u2011year\u2011old protester Azim\u202fFarrokhvand, whom they honor as \u201cthe first martyr of the \u2018No to Executions\u2019 movement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement warns that Tehran\u2019s rulers are resorting to mass hangings as their principal instrument of survival.\u202f\u201cIn the current situation, where the Iranian regime is facing domestic and international deadlocks, it uses execution as its main tool of repression to prevent the formation of protest movements and uprisings by the fed\u2011up populace,\u201d it declares.<\/p>\n

Calling for concerted global action, the prisoners urge governments to impose real costs: \u201cIt is essential that international human rights institutions and organizations compel their governments to condition their relations with the Iranian government on the abolition of the death penalty, because the weapon of execution in the hands of this tyranny is more dangerous than any other weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n
