The continuation of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign in its ninety-eighth week across fifty-five different prisons
This week, one of the most dedicated justice-seeking lawyers, Khosro Alikordi—an active supporter of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign, the attorney of detainees from the nationwide 2022 protests, and a source of refuge for bereaved families—died under suspicious circumstances. We sincerely offer condolences for this great loss to freedom-seeking lawyers, to all who seek justice, and to his family, friends, and colleagues.
Today, the issue of executions in Iran is not a form of punishment but an organized crime and a systematic violation of the right to life.
