2 December 2025<\/strong> According to Breathing in Confinement<\/strong>, the news outlet of the Prisoners\u2019 Rights League in Iran, 97 weeks have passed since the launch of the protest campaign Tuesdays Against Execution. Political prisoners in dozens of prisons have kept this campaign alive through hunger strikes and acts of civil resistance. Their latest statement comes at a time when a wave of executions, intensified repression on university campuses, and threats against political and student activists highlight once again the urgent need for collective resistance to state-organised violence.<\/p>\n On the eve of 7 December (Student Day)<\/strong>\u2014a symbol of the student movement\u2019s long struggle against authoritarianism\u2014political prisoners call on society to join them in ensuring that the voice of \u201cNo to Execution\u201d is heard louder than ever, and to help pave the way for freedom.<\/p>\n We begin the 97th week of the Tuesdays Against Execution<\/em> campaign on the eve of 7 December, Student Day. Since 7 December 1953, universities have remained the beating heart and frontline of the struggle against dictatorship. On this day, we honour the memory of all those who lost their lives in the pursuit of freedom\u2014especially students who were forcibly disappeared, including Saeed Zeinali<\/strong>, who was disappeared during the 1999 attack on the Tehran University dormitories.<\/p>\n He is just one example among hundreds of students and citizens who have been victimised by the ruling authorities\u2014a profound injustice inflicted upon families and grieving mothers. Yet repression, imprisonment, and execution have not stopped students from continuing their fight for freedom. Even now, universities are once again under attack, and Ehsan Faridi<\/strong>, a 23-year-old student and political prisoner, is facing the threat of execution simply for demanding freedom.<\/p>\n Over the past week, we witnessed an alarming surge in executions. In just ten days, nearly 100 prisoners have been executed by the ruling dictatorship, including two women. One execution was carried out in public to instil fear among the population. With this latest escalation, the number of executions since 20 March 2025 has reached 1,564<\/strong>, an unprecedented figure in the past three decades\u2014sparking international condemnation of Iran\u2019s criminal use of the death penalty.<\/p>\n Given this widespread wave of executions, we call on political groups, student activists, and all people of conscience to stand with prisoners sentenced to death and to support bereaved families seeking justice. Let the voice of \u201cNo to Execution\u201d<\/em> be amplified in every possible form, so that the regime\u2019s primary instrument of repression is weakened and the path toward freedom and people\u2019s sovereignty becomes clearer.<\/p>\n Prisons Participating in the 97th Week of the Hunger Strike on Tuesday, 2 December 2025:<\/strong><\/p>\n Evin Prison (women\u2019s and men\u2019s wards), Ghezel Hesar Prison (Units 2, 3, and 4), Karaj Central Prison, Fardis Prison, Greater Tehran Prison, Qarchak Prison, Khorin Varamin Prison, Choobindar Qazvin Prison, Ahar Prison, Arak Prison, Langarud Qom Prison, Khorramabad Prison, Borujerd Prison, Yasuj Prison, Asadabad Isfahan Prison, Dastgerd Isfahan Prison, Sheiban Ahvaz Prison, Sepidar Ahvaz Prison (women\u2019s and men\u2019s wards), Nezam Shiraz Prison, Adelabad Shiraz Prison (women\u2019s and men\u2019s wards), Firuzabad Prison (Fars), Dehdasht Prison, Zahedan Prison (women\u2019s and men\u2019s wards), Borazjan Prison, Ramhormoz Prison, Behbahan Prison, Bam Prison, Yazd Prison, Kahnuj Prison, Tabas Prison, Birjand Central Prison, Mashhad Prison, Sabzevar Prison, Gonbad-e Kavus Prison, Qaemshahr Prison, Rasht Prison (women\u2019s and men\u2019s wards), Rudsar Prison, Haviq Talesh Prison, Azbarom Lahijan Prison, Dizelabad Kermanshah Prison, Ardabil Prison, Tabriz Prison, Urmia Prison, Salmas Prison, Khoy Prison, Naqadeh Prison, Miandoab Prison, Mahabad Prison, Boukan Prison, Saqqez Prison, Baneh Prison, Marivan Prison, Sanandaj Prison, Kamyaran Prison, and Ilam Prison.<\/p>\n Tuesdays Against Execution Campaign<\/strong><\/p>\n Tuesday, 2 December 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 2 December 2025 News outlet: Prisoners – Uncategorized Breathing in Confinement – The hunger strike of political prisoners participating in the Tuesdays Against Execution campaign has continued into its 97th week, now involving detainees in 55 prisons across the country.
