Today, we're discussing a grave issue unfolding in Iran: the alarming rise in executions and the courageous hunger strike protest by political prisoners and prisoners across the country, including the female political prisoners who are actively involved despite enduring great hardships and punitive measures by prison authorities.
Let's start by talking about the recent spike in executions in Iran.
Since the inauguration of the Iranian regime’s new president and his cabinet, there’s been a disturbing increase in executions. Between July 22 and August 31, at least 138 people were executed, including nine women and two political prisoners.
This surge is part of a broader strategy by the regime to instill fear and suppress any potential uprisings. The most shocking event was the mass execution of 29 individuals on August 7, with 26 hanged simultaneously in Ghezel Hesar Prison. Additionally, the regime resumed public executions, a practice not seen since December 2022.
