Yasmin Pahlavi: Executions in Iran are organized killings
On Wednesday, social media users, including figures like Yasmin Pahlavi and Kylie Moore-Gilbert, protested against the widespread execution sentences in Iran using the hashtag cuttherope.
In a video shared by her husband, Prince Reza Pahlavi, on the X network, Yasmin Pahlavi stated that executions in Iran under the Islamic Republic are organized premeditated murders, a crime by a regime where there is no independent judiciary or free press against people who, in the harshest political and economic conditions, have the least freedoms and welfare. Over the past 14 years, the Islamic Republic has executed nearly eight thousand Iranians, including 73 children and 212 women. Data shows that whenever global pressure on this regime decreases, the number of executions increases. Let’s say no to executions together, increase domestic and international pressure on this regime, and cut this 45-year-old noose.
In early February, dozens of female prisoners in Evin went on a hunger strike to protest the execution process, including the executions of Mohammad Ghobadlou and Farhad Salimi.
This week, it was reported that a large number of political prisoners in various cities across Iran are on a hunger strike in solidarity with the prisoners of Ghezel Hesar prison for the fourth consecutive week.
