Prisoners and participating prisons in Iran’s “No To Executions Tuesdays” campaign, in the one hundred and sixth week of their strike, once again emphasized their legal demands by issuing a statement. Referring to the widespread arrests and threats of execution against detainees of the uprising, the prisoners stressed that these actions by the repressive government constitute state murder and enforced disappearance, and that the main person responsible is the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
The full text of the statement by prisoners participating in the “No To Executions Tuesdays” campaign
More than three weeks after the brutal massacre of people in the streets of Iran and the arrest of tens of thousands of defenseless citizens, large segments of Iranian society remain in complete uncertainty about the fate and condition of their loved ones. These actions by the repressive government constitute state killing and enforced disappearance, and the main person responsible is the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
Many detainees are being secretly tried without the right to a fair trial and face the risk of heavy sentences and execution. Security agencies have threatened many independent lawyers, telling them they are not allowed to represent detainees from the January uprising.

We, the members of the “No To Executions Tuesdays” campaign, call on all families of detainees and those killed to raise their voices and publicize and publish the names of their loved ones. We also call on all honorable people and human rights, labor, civil, and political activists to be, more than ever, the voice of prisoners and recent detainees.
The despotic government is carrying out executions recklessly and hysterically, to the extent that since January 21 it has executed 123 people, and from March 21, 2025, to today it has hung more than 2,350 people.
Protests for the rights of the Iranian people and for the thousands of cut-down flowers—girls, boys, and children whose blood was unjustly shed by bullets and axes of the ruling religious fascist repressors—ultimately led to the main perpetrator of these crimes, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), being placed on the European Union’s terrorist list. This is a major step in the struggles of the Iranian people, a demand that has not only been voiced by members of this campaign and all political prisoners, but for many years has been the demand of all freedom-loving and equality-seeking people of Iran.
Prisoners participating in the “No To Executions Tuesdays” campaign are on hunger strike on Tuesday, February 3, in the one hundred and sixth week of the campaign, across 56 prisons throughout the country.
