🇮🇷 #Iran [ESP abajo] 💪 I join #NoToExecutionTuesdays in the solidarity hunger strike for the human rights defenders that are being jailed and threatened with death for their work. At least 46 political prisoners and protesters have been executed in Iran since March 2026. More than 100 others remain on death row. The executions should end and those detained released. 💪 Me sumo a la iniciativa #NoToExecutionTuesdays (No a las ejecuciones los martes) en una huelga de hambre solidaria por las personas defensora de los derechos humanos que están siendo encarceladas y amenazadas de muerte por su labor. Desde marzo de 2026, al menos 46 presos políticos y manifestantes han sido ejecutados en Irán. Más de 100 personas más permanecen esperando la pena de muerte. Las ejecuciones deben cesar y las personas detenidas deben ser puestas en libertad. @drmaisato @SRfreedex_LMG @Ginitastar

Stop executions in Iran
Me sumo a una acción de solidaridad con las personas presas políticas en Irán que participan en #NoToExecutionTuesdays A las 12:00 a. m., hora de Irán (230 pm hora de México), iniciaré una huelga de hambre de 24 horas. #hungerstrike #Iran #stopexecutions #abolishdeathpenalty La magnitud del uso de la pena de muerte en Irán por motivos políticos es alarmante. Amnistía Internacional registró al menos 2,159 ejecuciones en 2025, la cifra anual más alta que ha documentado en el país desde 1981. En 2026, al menos 34 personas han sido ejecutadas en relación con las protestas de enero, incluidas cinco en apenas una semana, entre el 30 de septiembre y el 5 de octubre. La información que he recibido revela además una dimensión especialmente preocupante para mi mandato. Al menos 46 presos políticos y manifestantes habrían sido ejecutados desde el 19 de marzo de 2026: 37 fueron detenidos durante protestas y nueve fueron perseguidos en relación con una supuesta afiliación a la oposición. Más de 100 personas permanecerían condenadas a muerte. Delitos como baghi (rebelión armada), moharebeh (enemistad contra Dios) y efsad-e fel-arz (corrupción en la tierra) están siendo utilizados en casos en los que la protesta, la expresión política y la supuesta afiliación a la oposición se vinculan con cargos que pueden implicar la pena de muerte. La historia hace imposible ignorar estas señales de alerta. En 1988, alrededor de 30,000 presos políticos fueron ejecutados o desaparecidos forzadamente en uno de los capítulos más oscuros de la historia reciente de Irán. El ex Relator Especial de la ONU Javaid Rehman concluyó posteriormente que las ejecuciones sumarias, arbitrarias y extrajudiciales, así como las desapariciones forzadas, constituyeron crímenes de lesa humanidad. Irán debe detener inmediatamente las ejecuciones, conmutar las condenas a muerte, revisar los casos que no cumplan con las garantías de un juicio justo e investigar las denuncias de tortura. La opinión política, la crítica, la protesta pacífica y la asociación nunca deben convertirse en delitos castigados con la pena de muerte.

V Evropskem parlamentu sem podprl kampanjo »Ne usmrtitvam« in politične zapornike v Iranu.   Avtoritarni teokratski režim z usmrtitvami in represijo skuša utišati opozicijo. Iranski zaporniki vsak torek z gladovno stavko tvegajo svoje zdravje, da bi opozorili na krivice in smrtne obsodbe. Njihov pogum si zasluži našo podporo.   Zahtevamo ustavitev usmrtitev in izpustitev političnih zapornikov. Evropska unija mora ostati glasen zagovornik človekovih pravic, svobode in demokracije.

Today, MEPs stood in solidarity with Iran’s political prisoners participating in the #NoToExecutionTuesdays campaign. Since January 2024, what began with a number of prisoners has grown into a movement spanning 66 prisons across Iran. Every Tuesday, prisoners on death row and political prisoners, go on hunger strike to make their voices heard. They chose Tuesday because it is the day prisoners are transferred to solitary confinement ahead of execution. Their message is clear: #StopExecutionsInIran Last week, @Ginitastar joined the hunger-striking prisoners in solidarity. Today, @SRfreedex_LMG joined the campaign by undertaking a hunger strike. Thank you to all the MEPs standing up against executions in Iran, and special thanks to @petras_petras for spearheading this vital campaign.

Very nice initiative @SRfreedex_LMG Full support!
I am joining a solidarity action with political prisoners in Iran participating in #NoToExecutionTuesdays. At 12 am Iran time, I'm going to start a 24-hour #hungerstrike #Iran #stopexecutions #abolishdeathpenalty The scale of Iran’s use of the death penalty for political reasons is alarming. Amnesty International recorded at least 2,159 executions in 2025, the highest annual figure it has recorded in the country since 1981. In 2026, at least 34 people have been executed in connection with the January protests, including five in just one week between 30 September and 5 October. Information I have received also reveals a particularly troubling dimension for my mandate. At least 46 political prisoners and protesters reportedly executed since 19 March 2026: 37 arrested during protests and nine targeted in connection with alleged opposition affiliation. More than 100 others are reportedly on death row. Offences such as baghi (armed rebellion), moharebeh (enmity against god) and efsad-e fel-arz (corruption on earth) are being used in cases where protest, political expression and alleged opposition affiliation are intertwined with capital charges. History makes these warning signs impossible to ignore. In 1988, around 30,000 political prisoners were executed or forcibly disappeared in one of the darkest chapters of Iran’s recent history. Former UN Special Rapporteur Javaid Rehman subsequently concluded that the summary, arbitrary and extrajudicial executions and enforced disappearances amounted to crimes against humanity. Iran must immediately halt executions, commute death sentences, review cases that fail to meet fair-trial standards and investigate allegations of torture. Political opinion, criticism, peaceful protest and association must never become capital offences.

UN Special Rapporteur @Ginitastar announces that she will join the No to Execution Tuesdays campaign in solidarity with prisoners in Iran, marking the campaign’s 142nd week. On Tuesday, 13 October, she will undertake a 24-hour solidarity hunger strike alongside Iran’s political prisoners. #StopExecutionsInIran We welcome her initiative and call on everyone to join this show of solidarity.
#Iran On Tuesday the 13th, I am joining the 'No Execution Tuesdays' hunger strike. The death penalty is being used against people for exercising their rights to freedom of assembly, association, and expression, as well as their political rights. 1/
