The “No to Execution Tuesdays<\/a>” campaign issued a new statement on September 1, 2026, marking its 136th week of protest and announcing that the movement has now expanded to 62 prisons across Iran with the addition of Iranshahr Prison in Sistan and Baluchestan province.<\/p>\n

The campaign’s latest statement contextualizes the regime’s increasing reliance on the death penalty as a tool for suppression amid a deepening national economic crisis: “In conditions where runaway inflation and the unprecedented drop in the national currency’s value have pushed the livelihoods and purchasing power of most segments of society below the poverty line, livelihood crises have expanded day by day… the state resorts to severe suppression of society and prisoners to prevent the protests of an exhausted people. Hence, we witness the daily execution of inhumane death sentences or the issuance of new ones.”<\/p>\n

The statement highlighted<\/a> a recent surge in executions and raised the alarm over imminent threats to political prisoners connected to recent protests: “The oppressive ruling state has executed at least 32 people, including two women, just in the past week of late August. Also, a large number of detainees from the January 2026 uprising have been sentenced to death or are at risk of receiving this sentence; among them, we can mention the issuance of death sentences for 10 defendants in the ‘Shohada Square’ case in Isfahan, political prisoner Leila Abolhassani in Dolatabad Prison in Isfahan, and the confirmation of the death sentence for Ali-Asghar Peighambari in Ghezel Hesar Prison.”<\/p>\n
