In the Persian calendar year 1403 (March 2024\u2013March 2025) alone, the regime carried out <span class=\"StrongEmphasis\">1,106 executions<\/span>\u2014an average of three people per day. The pace has accelerated in the current year amid mounting political, social, and economic crises.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On June 28, 2025, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/press-releases\/2025\/07\/turk-calls-iran-halt-use-death-penalty-amid-worrying-surge-executions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Volker T\u00fcrk announced<\/a> that in just the first half of 2025, <span class=\"StrongEmphasis\">at least 612 executions<\/span> had been recorded\u2014more than double the number during the same period in 2024.

Yet the surge in executions is not a sign of strength\u2014it is an admission of weakness. It reflects the leadership\u2019s acute fear of a social explosion, fueled by domestic unrest, regional tensions, and international isolation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Textbody\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each execution, particularly of political prisoners, acts as a spark that feeds the flames of public outrage. Far from quelling dissent, these killings strengthen the resolve of both prisoners and the public. From behind the walls of Evin, Qarchak, Fashafuyeh, Ghezel Hesar, and other notorious prisons, the voices of resistance are breaking through, reaching the streets and echoing across the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the heart of this defiance is the <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/no-to-executions-tuesdays-marks-81st-week-with-hunger-strikes-in-49-prisons-nationwide-protests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"StrongEmphasis\">\u201cNo to Execution Tuesdays\u201d<\/span><\/a> movement, born within prison walls and now a powerful symbol of national resistance. This campaign has positioned political prisoners as leaders in the struggle against the regime\u2019s killing machine, while also galvanizing international attention.

For a people who have endured decades of suppression, dismantling this apparatus of death is more than a political demand\u2014it is a moral imperative. The fight against the death penalty has become the urgent cause of the moment, uniting voices inside and outside the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Textbody\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">There can be no compromise with the politics of death. The only path forward is unwavering resistance until the machinery of execution is dismantled. This struggle is more than opposition\u2014it is the source of a new social force, one capable of breaking the cycle of repression and hastening the regime\u2019s downfall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Textbody\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today, the constant ticking of a historic moment grows louder.
