News Center — At a time when the file of executions in Iran is witnessing an unprecedented escalation, popular and human rights rejection campaigns are intensifying, foremost among them the "No to Execution" campaign led by feminist and human rights organizations, demanding an end to this policy, which is considered one of the harshest tools of repression in the country.

The Free Women's System of Eastern Kurdistan (KJAR) stressed the gravity of the current phase the country is going through amid the increasing implementation of death sentences, considering that this escalation is taking place while the world is preoccupied with the developments of the war, which, in its expression, provides greater space for a "policy of obscuring human rights violations" inside Iran.

In a statement issued yesterday, Tuesday, April 7, the organization described the death penalty as "a tool to silence voices demanding freedom," affirming that this punishment does not achieve justice but is rather used as a means of "systematic repression" against society, especially against opposition voices.

The statement highlighted the historical role of women in resisting discrimination and oppression, affirming that women "stand in the front line to defend free life," and that their presence in human rights and political activism reflects the suffering of mothers, sisters, and women who await the freedom of their loved ones or have paid heavy prices on the path of struggle.

In addressing the conditions of political women prisoners in Iran, the statement mentioned several prominent names such as "Zeynab Jalalian, Bakhshan Azizi, Sobeida Qolyan, Narges Mohammadi, Sharifa Mohammadi, and Warisha Moradi," affirming that they "struggled for their human rights, stood with iron will before all forms of torture and extraction, became symbols of resistance and steadfastness for all women of Iran, and confused the Iranian regime," and that many of them still face the risk of execution.

The organization pointed out that the conditions of war and severe internet restrictions make it difficult to document violations, but field data indicate the execution of about 30 people in recent days, including political prisoners whose confessions were extracted under torture and who were deprived of their basic rights.

According to the statement, the implementation of executions at this time aims to "instill fear and suppress hope" within society, but this approach, according to KJAR, does not stop liberation demands, but rather "fuels the continuation of the struggle for human dignity."

In the context of discussing the country's future, KJAR affirmed that "the democracy of Iran passes through respect for all national, religious, and sectarian identities," considering that any political project that does not guarantee these principles will not achieve stability or justice.

At the conclusion of its statement, KJAR called on human rights organizations, civil activists, and "living consciences" around the world to take urgent action to stop executions and not remain silent about what is happening, affirming its support for the "No to Execution" campaign under the slogan "No to Execution; Yes to Life, Freedom, and Human Dignity," while calling for broad collective action.
