Group of political prisoners in Iran demand stop of death sentences

A group of political prisoners in Iran demanded in a message reached by the radio station "Voice of America" for the immediate cessation of executions in prisons.

The letter was signed by political prisoners "Zadasht Ahmadi Ragheb, Reda Salmanzadeh, Mostafa Ramazani, and Reda Mohamed Hosseini," who are detained in Qizal Hisar prison in the city of Karaj, west of Tehran, Iran.

In their letter, these prisoners condemned the attack on the women detained in Evin prison, the repression of young women and women in the streets, declared their solidarity and sympathy with the freedom-loving Iranian people, and stressed that they "will pay the price of liberating their people and land from the clutches of tyranny with their hearts and souls."

The aforementioned political prisoners, who presented themselves as exiled political prisoners in Qizal Hisar, stated that "the regime may be able to take our lives, but never our freedom," adding that resistance to prisons is one of the rules of struggle against unjust rulers.

"Following the increase in the so-called death penalty rate, we have seen that political activists have not remained silent in prisons, but the result of these protests has been the shameful beating of political prisoners imprisoned in Evin by prison guards and the start of the war against the country's freedom-loving young women under the pretext of hijab," they said.

Political prisoners saw the Iranian regime's actions as "a sign of the filth and horror of the apparatus of repression" and demanded an immediate end to executions and violence in society and prisons.
