In Iran's Ghezel Hesar Prison, 1,500 Death-Row Prisoners Continue Hunger Strike for Fourth Day
Today, Thursday, October 16, 2025, the hunger strike of 1,500 prisoners sentenced to death in Unit 2 of Ghezel Hesar Prison continued for the fourth consecutive day. This morning, Karamollah Azizi, the head of Ghezel Hesar Prison, along with a number of guards, appeared among the prisoners and deceitfully said, “We have obtained a three-month halt on the execution sentences,” and asked the prisoners to end their strike. This is while a large number of prisoners have been executed over the past two days, and the names and details of 17 of them have been recorded so far.
In response to the prison chief, the inmates conditioned the end of their strike on the return of their fellow prisoners who had been transferred to solitary confinement in previous days for their executions. The prison head promised to return these prisoners to their wards by Saturday, October 18. The prisoners emphasized that they would continue their strike until that day. They said, “It is unbearable for us that you take several of us for execution every day. Either kill us all together, or we will die on this hunger strike.”

Iran: UN member states must urgently press authorities to halt executions after horrifying increase
Ahead of the presentation of the UN Secretary-General’s report on Iran on 16 October 2025 and the combined briefings of the UN Special Rapporteur and the UN Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Iran to the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly on 30 October 2025, Amnesty International’s Deputy Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Hussein Baoumi, said:
“UN Member states must confront the Iranian authorities’ shocking execution spree with the urgency it demands. More than 1,000 people have already been executed in Iran since the beginning of 2025 – an average of four a day. Since the Woman Life Freedom uprising of 2022, the Iranian authorities have increasingly weaponized the death penalty to instill fear among the population, crush dissent and punish marginalized communities. This year, executions have reached a scale not seen in Iran since 1989.
