The Iranian regime\u2019s escalating use of arbitrary executions and systemic violence is a chilling attempt to silence dissent. From June 22 to 25, 2025, 17 prisoners, including one woman, were executed. Since the Persian year 1404 began on March 21, 2025, a staggering 424 executions have taken place, with 18 in the past week alone. \u201cLast week, 18 prisoners were executed; a horrifying statistic unprecedented in recent years,\u201d the No to Execution Tuesdays campaign declared in its 75th<\/sup> week. This surge is a deliberate tactic to instill fear and crush resistance. The campaign stands as a powerful response, demanding an end to the death penalty and the release of all political and ideological prisoners.<\/p>\n

The Crisis: Executions as a Tool of Control<\/h2>\n

The regime\u2019s desperation is evident in its rising execution rates. Political prisoners face heightened risks, their sentences weaponized to deter opposition. The campaign\u2019s statement<\/a> underscores the scale: \u201cSince the beginning of the year 1404 (March 2025), at least 424 people have been hanged.\u201d The regime\u2019s history of neglecting prisoner safety, even during crises, reveals its intent to exact revenge through mass executions, making urgent action critical.<\/p>\n

No to Execution Tuesdays: A Movement for Justice<\/h2>\n

The No to Execution Tuesdays campaign unites activists and families in a bold demand: \u201cWe, the members of this campaign, together with the people of Iran, demand the abolition of the death penalty and the release of all political and ideological prisoners.\u201d The campaign calls on families of the detained to break their silence by publicly sharing their loved ones\u2019 names and demanding their release, warning that \u201csilence only emboldens the regime\u2019s oppression.\u201d It also urges the international community to amplify the voices of those on death row.<\/p>\n
