Stop Execution of Our Loved Ones

For more than forty three years, the deepening wound of execution and murder of citizens at the order of state authorities afflicts the body of our society.

Murdering citizens is not limited to the act of execution. In effect, the fall of every innocent protestor, who takes to the streets to solely demand justice against oppression and inequality, results in an ever-growing culture of fear and terror, and adds to the number of survivors who demand accountability.

Today, we witness increasing waves of executions based on a range of trumped up charges against individuals who under the banner of Women Life Freedom, demand nothing but justice.

We, families wounded by the loss of our loved ones, who were killed either while protesting on streets or in custody, raise our voices and demand an end to executions. Stay all death sentences. Halt execution for any charge or crime. We no longer allow you to murder our loved ones.

We invite all conscientious citizens, media outlets, and human rights defenders throughout the globe, to join our call to stop all executions in Iran and help rescue our loved ones through any means at your disposal. We repeat our call, we stand together and join our voices to call for an end to capital punishment. Stop executions.
