News group: Prisoners \u2013<\/strong>
Breathing in Confinement \u2013<\/strong> In a land overshadowed by executions, resistance still breathes. The \u201cTuesdays Against Execution\u201d campaign is not merely a protest movement but the collective echo of political prisoners who, despite imprisonment, torture, and repression, continue each week to break through prison walls to send the cry for freedom and the right to life to the world.<\/p>\n

Today, this campaign has reached its eighty-third consecutive week<\/strong> and continues in 50 prisons nationwide<\/strong>. It is a clear sign of the determination that stands firm against the machinery of death. The joining of prisoners in Dehdasht Prison<\/strong> once again shows that no prisoner and no citizen in Iran is safe from the threat of state executions. This is the voice of lives worn down by injustice, proclaiming:
Execution is neither a solution nor justice. Execution is merely a tool to impose silence and entrench tyranny.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Full statement of the prisoners participating in the 83rd week of the campaign:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe expansion of the \u2018Tuesdays Against Execution\u2019 campaign in its eighty-third week to 50 prisons, with the joining of Dehdasht Prison.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIn Iran under the rule of Velayat-e Faqih, the machinery of execution continues to claim victims mercilessly. In just the past month, 166 people were hanged. In the past week alone, 31 of our fellow citizens, including one woman, were executed, with two victims hanged in public in Kordkuy and Beyrom, Larestan. The execution-driven regime seeks to humiliate and normalise violence in order to cast society into fear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to reports, a group of prisoners in Dehdasht Prison joined the campaign in its eighty-third week. The addition of Dehdasht Prison to the list is a stark reminder that no corner of Iran is safe from the shadow of execution.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time, we are outraged by another shocking development: the conversion of Section 41 of Behesht Zahra Cemetery (a section that holds the memory of thousands of political prisoners from the 1980s and the unforgettable atrocities of those years) into a parking lot. This act is not only a shameful attempt to erase collective memory and the traces of state crimes, but also a blatant disrespect to victims and their families \u2014 an act condemned by Amnesty International.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cTuesdays Against Execution\u201d campaign once again declares:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Execution is not a solution;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Execution is a blatant violation of the right to life;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Execution is a tool for creating fear and consolidating political repression.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This campaign calls on all international bodies, human rights defenders, and people of conscience to stand against this cycle of death and to amplify the voices of the Iranian people in their protest against executions.<\/p>\n
