Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee’s powerful letter from Qarchak Prison highlights the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign, honoring resistance against Iran’s rising executions.
Iran Human Rights Society, Sunday, August 23, 2025 – Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee, a brave political prisoner in Qarchak Prison, Varamin, fights tirelessly against Iran’s execution crisis. Her recent letter, published on August 19, 2025, marks the 82nd week of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign. She vividly portrays history as a chain of resistance, honoring those who stood fearlessly against tyranny. Their sacrifices, she writes, light the path to freedom. This focus on resistance against executions resonates deeply today.
Honoring Resistance Against Executions
Iraee’s letter recalls the 1953 coup, connecting past struggles to the present fight. She describes ongoing oppression in Iran’s prisons and streets, where political prisoners and activists endure brutal pressure. Furthermore, she highlights the recent abduction of seven death-row prisoners to Ghezel Hesar’s political ward. The lack of information about Arab prisoners facing execution and Sharifeh Mohammadi’s confirmed death sentence amplify the urgency. These injustices fuel the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign, uniting prisoners and families in solidarity.
The Human Cost of Executions
The emotional toll of executions devastates families, as Iraee poignantly illustrates. She shares the heart-wrenching image of a mother’s lullaby for a child left alone, teetering on adolescence. This vivid imagery underscores the human cost of Iran’s execution surge, with hundreds hanged in the past year alone. Moreover, the campaign amplifies these stories, demanding global attention to stop the cycle of death.
A Call for Solidarity
Iraee’s words inspire action against Iran’s execution crisis. The “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign, now spanning 49 prisons, stands as a beacon of resistance. Therefore, her letter urges the international community to join the fight, amplifying the voices of those silenced by tyranny. Through her courage, Iraee continues to shine a light on the path to justice.
