Warning from the 'Tuesdays No to Execution' Campaign Regarding the Death Sentence of a Prisoner Charged with 'Baghi'

In the fifty-second week and on the eve of the anniversary of the 'Tuesdays No to Execution' campaign, prisoners in 34 prisons across the country announced on Tuesday, January 22, that executions in the month of Dey reached over 110 cases, and since the beginning of the year 1403, 950 prisoners have been executed. Members of the campaign stated in a statement that the removal of two notorious judges, Mohammad Mogheiseh and Ali Razini, who have been responsible for issuing thousands of death sentences for political and non-political prisoners over four decades, 'by a citizen who has had enough,' reflects the deep disgust of the Iranian people towards the death penalty and the consequences of 45 years of repression and slaughter policies. This action has been widely welcomed among the community, especially among the families of the thousands of victims of political executions, and demonstrates the profound disgust of the Iranian people towards the death penalty and the consequences of 45 years of repression and slaughter policies. Members of the campaign in 34 prisons warned that Malek Davarshenas (Mousavi), a 26-year-old political prisoner from Khorramshahr, has been sentenced to death on charges of 'Baghi.' He has been in detention since 1400 and has been forced to confess under psychological and physical torture, now facing the imminent execution of his death sentence. In response to such inhumane sentences, society and prisoners continue to resist against government violence. The statement further noted that the 'Tuesdays No to Execution' campaign has expanded to 34 prisons and has received extensive domestic and international support. Eleven teachers' unions in various provinces, despite security pressures, have courageously supported the 'No to Execution' campaign and have repeatedly raised this slogan in their weekly gatherings. Additionally, 'Mawlawis' from various cities in Kurdistan have taken a stand against the death penalty. The campaign once again emphasized the inhumanity of the death penalty and called on all prisoners to join this movement. It also supported the general strike of the people of Kurdistan against executions scheduled for Wednesday and invited the public to participate in these protests. According to the campaign's announcement, in the fifty-second week, prisoners in 34 prisons will go on hunger strike with the following names: Evin Prison (women's ward, wards 4 and 8), Qazalhesar Prison (units 3 and 4), Central Prison of Karaj, Greater Tehran Prison, Khourin Varamin Prison, Arak Prison, Khorramabad Prison, Asadabad Isfahan Prison, Dashtgerd Isfahan Prison, Shiban Ahvaz Prison, Nazem Shiraz Prison, Adelabad Shiraz Prison (women's and men's wards), Borazjan Prison, Bam Prison, Kahnouj Prison, Tabas Prison, Jovin Prison, Mashhad Prison, Qaemshahr Prison, Rasht Prison (men's and women's wards), Roudsar Prison, Hovigh Talesh Prison, Ardabil Prison, Tabriz Prison, Urmia Prison, Salmas Prison, Khoy Prison, Naqdeh Prison, Saqez Prison, Baneh Prison, Marivan Prison, Kamyaran Prison.
