  • Summary

  • In this episode, we're going to discuss the rising executions of women and the nationwide protests, particularly in the women's wards, against the death penalty.
    Just recently, on the morning of July 27, 2024, a woman was among four prisoners hanged in the Central Prison of Khorramabad, the capital of Lorestan Province in western Iran. This execution marked the 15th woman executed in Iran since January 2024. The alarming rate of these executions is highlighted by the fact that at least five women were put to death in just one week, from July 21 to July 27. This rapid increase points to a disturbing trend of rising executions, particularly targeting women.
    Political prisoners, especially women, have been very active in protesting these executions. In the women's ward of Evin Prison, where many political prisoners are held, there have been several protests and sit-ins over the past month.
