The hundredth week of the “No To Executions Tuesdays” campaign continues in 55 different prisons across the country with hunger strikes by prisoners. One hundred weeks of hunger strikes in 55 prisons have shown that even in the most confined wards, it is possible to keep hope alive and raise the voice of justice.
Political prisoners participating in this campaign, after nearly two years, continue the campaign steadfastly and with faith in human values.
The full text of the statement for the hundredth week of the “No To Executions Tuesdays” campaign is as follows:
Iran’s Regime Carries Out 335 Executions in November, Highest Toll in 37 Years
The expansion of the “No To Executions Tuesdays” campaign in its hundredth week with the joining of the women’s ward of Yazd Prison
One hundred weeks of relentless struggle against the killing machine and the gallows
With congratulations on Yalda Night to all compatriots, to imprisoned members of the “No To Executions Tuesdays” campaign, and to each and every prisoner sentenced to death, and with the hope for the abolition of the death penalty in a free and prosperous Iran.
The “No To Executions Tuesdays” campaign, in its hundredth week, despite many ups and downs, acts of courage, and the most painful nights marked by the execution of its comrades and fellow prisoners, continues its path with momentum.
One hundred weeks of no to execution,
One hundred weeks of relentless struggle against the killing machine and the gallows,
One hundred weeks of standing against cruelty and brutality,
One hundred weeks of breaking the aura of the gallows and prison,
One hundred weeks of calls for resistance by prisoners’ families.
One hundred weeks of resistance against a dictatorship that seeks to silence every voice of protest through executions and death squads and to impose itself on society. An illegitimate government that, according to the seventy-second United Nations resolution adopted in the past week, has executed more than 2,000 people in the year 2025 alone so far (meaning more than twice the number in 2024) with the aim of intimidation and repression; this campaign will continue without توقف and will persist until the abolition of the inhuman death penalty.
We learned that simultaneously with the hundredth week of the “No To Executions Tuesdays” campaign, the women’s ward of Yazd Prison also announced its participation. With greetings and gratitude to these individuals, we hope that other prisons across the country will also join this campaign in the future, and that along this path we will reach a day when the “No to Execution” campaign spreads throughout the country and the groundwork for abolishing the inhuman death penalty is established.
The number of executions between November 22 and December 21 has reached 357 people.
This wave of killing and execution of prisoners reflects the extremely critical condition of a government that, caught in a vortex of incurable political, social, and economic crises that have made even ordinary daily life impossible for the people, has turned to executing prisoners. In a wholly misguided assessment of Iranian society, it seeks to prevent anticipated protests by displaying such savagery and brutality in executing the youth of this land; however, this unbridled brutality has not and will not cure any of the ills of despotism.
Political prisoners participating in the “No To Executions Tuesdays” campaign are on hunger strike in 55 prisons across the country during the hundredth week, on Tuesday, December 23.
