Continuation of the “No to Executions Tuesdays” campaign in its 109th week in 56 different prisons
The fortieth-day memorial ceremonies for those killed in the January 2026 uprising, held in various parts of the country, became a symbol of the continuation of the uprising and public solidarity. These gatherings, accompanied by anti-regime slogans and the rejection of dictatorship, demonstrated that the memory and names of the victims of repression have become an inspiring force for achieving the overthrow of the regime and the establishment of justice, freedom, and equality.

In recent days, the executioner regime has held hasty trials and fabricated cases against detainees of the recent movement. While they have been deprived of the right to choose their own lawyers and to defend themselves, and are subjected to torture beyond human tolerance, some of them face death sentences on the baseless charge of “enmity against God.” Among them are 19-year-old Mohammadamin Biglari, sentenced to death by Judge Abolghasem Salavati in Branch 15 of the regime’s Revolutionary Court in Tehran, and 55-year-old Mohammad Abbasi, who was also sentenced to death by the same branch. In addition, Abdollah Parki, who had been arrested a few days earlier by the Intelligence Office in Mehrestan County in Sistan and Baluchestan province, died suspiciously in detention.
As part of these ongoing repressions, the death sentence of Mehrab Abdollahzadeh, one of those arrested during the 2022 nationwide uprising, has been upheld in Urmia Prison, and his life is in danger.
The despotic mullahs’ regime executed more than 350 people between January 21 and February 20, marking a fivefold increase compared to the same period last year. In the early days of month of Esfand (from February 21 until now), 33 prisoners have been executed.
The “No to Executions Tuesdays” campaign calls on the international community, human rights organizations, and awakened human consciences to be the voice of prisoners and the people of Iran and not allow the lives of the children of this land to be taken by criminal oppressors. We urge all families of detainees to widely spread information about the condition of their imprisoned children. Raise your voices; this is the only way to confront the pressures of this dictatorial regime.
Political prisoners who are members of the “No to Executions Tuesdays” campaign are on hunger strike on Tuesday, February 24, in the 109th week of the campaign, across 56 prisons in the country.
