Political prisoners launch 93rd week of No to Execution Tuesdays hunger strike in 54 Iranian prisons. They protest surging executions and urge global action against regime’s killing spree.
Iran Human Rights Society, Tuesday, November 4, 2024 – Prisoners ignite the 93rd week of the No to Execution Tuesdays campaign today. They stage hunger strikes in 54 prisons across Iran. This bold move fights the regime’s relentless executions. Activists demand an end to this brutality. They call on fellow inmates, families, and citizens to rise up. Join the cry: No to execution! In just 12 days of November, authorities hanged at least 76 people. However, voices grow louder. Retirees in Kermanshah chanted against this injustice last week. Therefore, the fight spreads beyond bars. The UN’s Mai Sato highlights the horror—only 8% of killings get reported. She warns of a hidden massacre. Furthermore, this campaign unites the oppressed. It challenges the death machine head-on. Read on to learn how you can support.
The Power of the No to Execution Tuesdays Statement
Campaign members stand firm in 54 prisons. They confront executions without fear. “Do not stay silent,” they urge death row inmates. This unjust ruling crushes lives daily. Families and Iranians must act now. Publish names of the condemned. Chant “No to execution” in streets and alleys. Block this silent slaughter. The statement rings clear: Resist the government’s crime. Therefore, hunger strikes amplify their plea. Prisoners refuse food to spotlight the pain. Moreover, this unity shakes the regime’s grip. Last week’s Qezel Hesar strike halted some gallows. Such victories inspire more. However, the machine races on. Activists vow to persist until justice wins.
Surging Executions: A Regime’s Desperate Grip
The execution engine revs at full throttle. It ignores brakes under religious fascism. In Qezel Hesar’s Unit 2, a one-week strike followed. Yet, hangings surge nationwide. Consider the first 12 days of November: At least 76 prisoners met the noose. This pace terrifies. Baluch and Kurdish minorities suffer most. Over 1,150 died in the past Persian year alone—a 42% jump. Therefore, numbers reveal a crisis. The regime hides the true toll. Only official reports surface. But insiders track the shadows. Furthermore, public fury boils over. Protests echo the prisoners’ call. No more betrayal of the Quran through killings. Iran deserves life without the gallows.
Voices from the Streets: Kermanshah Retirees Join the Fight
Last week, Kermanshah retirees roared in protest. They targeted poverty and repression. But executions stole the spotlight. “Carrying out executions betrays the Quran!” they shouted. “Iran without executions!” rang out next. “Patrol rulings and executions must end!” fueled the crowd. Security forces clashed, yet spirits held. This rally linked workers to inmates. Therefore, the No to Execution Tuesdays wave swells. Bakers and nurses echo the chants. Nationwide, banners warn: Executions spark uprisings. However, the regime doubles down. It fears this solidarity. Moreover, these streets become battlegrounds for human rights. Every voice counts in toppling the terror.
UN Alert: Mai Sato Exposes Hidden Executions in Iran
Mai Sato, UN Special Rapporteur, sounded the alarm last week. She addressed the General Assembly’s Third Committee. Executions violate the right to life on a massive scale. Secret killings dominate—only 8% see daylight. Official sources bury the rest. Sara Hussein, fact-finding chair, backed her. They spotlight Iran’s dark record.
