Iran prisoners in 62 facilities join 137th week of anti-execution hunger strike

Prisoners across 62 Iranian facilities began a hunger strike marking the 137th consecutive week of the 'No to Execution Tuesday' campaign, signaling sustained domestic opposition to capital punishment. The action's scale and duration suggest organized, persistent civil resistance within prisons, though external corroboration of participation numbers is limited. This underscores ongoing human-rights tensions in Iran but does not indicate a shift in state policy.
