A group of civil rights activists and supporters of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign gathered outside Evin Prison in Tehran, Iran, on Tuesday night, chanting slogans against capital punishment.
Videos shared on social media on Wednesday show prominent activists, including Narges Mohammadi, Sedigheh Vasmaghi, Alieh Motallebzadeh, Kambiz Norouzzadeh, Hasti Amiri, Shaghayegh Moradi, Ali Nanvayi, Majid Mosafer and Elham Salehi, participating in the protest.
Marking the 56th week of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign, female protesters were seen without the mandatory hijab. They chanted slogans such as “Until the abolition of the death penalty, we will stand to the end.”
In a powerful symbolic act, Mohammadi set fire to a hangman’s noose, emphasizing the call for an end to executions.
