January 14, 2025 - IRAN. 51st week of the “No to Executions on Tuesdays” campaign
Iranian political prisoners and activists have intensified their protest against a sharp rise in executions, marking the 51st week of the “No to Executions on Tuesdays” campaign. The movement condemns the confirmation of death sentences for political prisoners Mojahed Kurkur, and Pakhshan Azizi, as well as the supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization (PMOI/MEK) Mehdi Hassani, and Behrouz Ehsani by the regime’s Supreme Court.
In a statement, the campaign described these sentences as “medieval” and vowed to fight for the abolition of the death penalty in Iran. Amid ongoing economic and political crises, the regime has escalated executions, reportedly executing over 100 individuals since early January in a bid to suppress dissent.
Prisoners from 34 facilities nationwide, including Evin and Ghezel Hesar prisons, have launched a hunger strike on Tuesday, January 14, to protest these rulings. The campaign has urged all Iranians to join the fight against the increasing use of capital punishment.
4 Prisons Join the “No to Executions on Tuesdays” Campaign in Its 51st Week
The participation of four additional prisons—Haviq Talesh, the women’s ward of Adelabad Prison in Shiraz, Borazjan, and Jovin—in the 51st week of the “No to Executions on Tuesdays” campaign has been announced.
Amid escalating economic, cultural, and political crises in Iran, the regime, crippled by systemic corruption and structural inefficiency, has reached a deadlock and is incapable of addressing these issues. As a result, protests by various segments of society are occurring on a daily basis.
For Iran’s authoritarian rulers, it is evident that this widespread dissatisfaction will soon lead to another wave of large-scale uprisings, putting the very existence of this oppressive regime on a steep decline toward collapse. In a misguided calculation, the regime has resorted to increasing executions in an attempt to spread fear and deter protests. From last Tuesday to now, at least 17 individuals have been executed, and since the start of January, the number exceeds 102.
The Situation of Political Prisoners
Evin Women’s Ward Sit-in Protest: Female political prisoners in Evin Prison have staged sit-ins to protest these death sentences.
Mehdi Hassani: A political prisoner, Hassani is among those facing imminent execution.
Behrouz Ehsani Islamloo: Ehsani has been denied communication and phone privileges, leaving his situation uncertain.
Previously, it had upheld the death sentences of Mojahid Kurkur, four Baloch political prisoners, and four Arab political prisoners, all of whom face grave danger. Meanwhile, prisoners sentenced to death for non-political crimes are being executed daily.
In response to these inhumane rulings, many political activists, both inside and outside the prisons, along with families seeking justice, have reacted strongly and condemned these death sentences.
As emphasized repeatedly by the campaign, abolishing the inhumane practice of executions is possible only through solidarity, collective action, and widespread public participation.
On Tuesday, January 14, 2025, in the 51st week of the campaign, prisoners from 34 facilities will initiate a hunger strike to protest the executions:

Evin Prison (women’s ward, wards 4 and 8)
Ghezel Hesar Prison (units 3 and 4)
