The “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign continued today in 54 prisons across Iran in protest against the ongoing wave of executions. Political prisoners on hunger strike, now in their ninety-third week of protest, declared that they would continue their strike and campaign until their demand—the cessation of the regime’s cruel wave of executions—is met.
Full statement of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign
Continuation of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign in its ninety-third week across fifty-four different prisons
We begin the ninety-third week of our campaign while the execution machine of the regime’s religious fascism continues to move forward recklessly and without brakes.
Following the one-week hunger strike by prisoners in Ward 2 of Ghezel Hesar Prison, executions—especially in other prisons across the country—have continued at full speed. Between October 23 and November 3 (a period of twelve days), Iran’s regime executed at least 76 prisoners.
Meanwhile, the cry of “No to execution” can be heard from various parts of the country. Last week, retirees in Kermanshah also joined the protests, chanting slogans such as “Carrying out executions is a betrayal of the Quran,” “Iran without executions,” and “Morality patrols and executions must be abolished!”
Last week, the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran, Ms. Mai Sato, and the Chair of the UN International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran, Ms. Sara Hossain, addressed the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly, highlighting the widespread violations of the right to life in Iran and the regime’s secret executions, of which only 8% are reported by official sources.
The members of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign, active in fifty-four prisons across the country, continue to resist strongly against the executions. They call on all prisoners—especially those sentenced to death—not to remain silent in the face of this injustice. They also urge families and the people of Iran not to allow this killing to continue in silence, but to publish the names of those sentenced to death and raise their voices against executions in every possible way, in the streets and neighborhoods of their cities, to confront this state-sponsored crime.
On Tuesday, November 4, 2025, during the campaign’s ninety-third week, participants in fifty-four prisons across Iran will hold a hunger strike as part of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign.
