Political prisoners in Ghezelhessar prison, located outside of Karja city, launched a campaign against death penalty. They declared they would go on hunger strike every Tuesdays in protest to death penalty. The campaign was launched on Tuesday, 30 January 2024. The campaign gained traction gradually as prisoners from other prisons of the county joined the campaign.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Each week, more prisoners across Iranian prisons have joined the cam and hunger strike. By Tuesday, 17 Day 1403 (7 January 2025), the \u201cNo to Executions Tuesdays campaign\u201d announced two more prisons; \u201cSepidar Ahwaz\u201d and \u201cRamhormouz\u201d have joined the campaign and from this day, the number of prisons that have joined the campaign reached thirty.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Tuesday’s campaign has succeeded in drawing the attention of the people of Iran and international institutions towards the executions in Iran. Throughout its 45 years in power, the Islamic Regime has used capital punishment as a tool to establish fear in the society, to suppress people, and to take revenge on its protesters and opponents.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Opposition to the death penalty has increasingly become a social issue in Iran, especially after the regime executed eight young individuals, in order to suppress the movement of \u201cWomen, Life, Freedom\u201d movement. This campaign has extended beyond political prisoners to include the families of ordinary prisoners. Families have repeatedly staged protests in front of the regime\u00b4s institutions, including the Islamic Parliament, calling for the abolition of the death penalty, by chanting \u201cDon\u2019t execute!\u201d Similar protests have been carried out consecutively in Tehran and in Karaj, especially in front of Ghezelhessar prison, where \u201cTuesday\u00b4s started.<\/p>\n
