Global Campaign for “No to Executions” in Iran
1,500 Prominent International Figures Support the “No to Execution” Campaign in Iran
More than 1,500 prominent personalities from 78 countries across five continents, representing various political affiliations, have signed a statement in support of the “No to Execution” campaign in Iran, initiated by Iranian communities in Europe, the Iran Human Rights Monitor, and human rights organizations.
The signatories include over 450 current members of parliaments from various parties, as well as 34 political leaders, including former presidents and prime ministers, and nearly 60 former ministers.
On January 28, 2024, death row inmates at Ghezel Hesar Prison released a statement condemning the rise in executions, revealing they face imminent execution without fair trials or adequate legal representation. To make their voices heard, they pledged to begin a hunger strike every Tuesday, a day associated with the transfer of inmates to solitary confinement before execution. Their statement underscored the urgent need for public support, urging awareness to halt this cycle of violence. The first “No to Execution” Tuesday began on January 30, 2024, as ten political prisoners joined in solidarity, vowing to continue until justice prevails.
