Iranian government oppression on jailed workers in Iran
The Iranian regime continued suppressing the Iranian workers demanding their rights, equal payment on their wages, our solidarity to the freedom for free jailed workers in Iran, free Kurdish political prisoners in Iran, free all Baloch political prisoners, free all Ahwze political prisoners.
May Day, 1 Gulan, يەکی ئایار، also known as International Workers’ Day or Labour Day, is a global holiday celebrated on May 1st each year. It commemorates the historic struggles and achievements of the labor movement, particularly the fight for workers’ rights, better working conditions, and fair wages.
Kolbars, as the most vulnerable kinds of labor and workers, need to be recognised and protected from Iranian, Turkish, and Iraqi oppression.
“Kolbari” is one of the countless methods that the occupiers have been enforcing on Kurdish people throughout the artificial borders that divided Kurdistan and Kurdish people.
In 2024, at least 339 Kurdish Kolbars and traders were killed or injured by the Iranian border guards. This marks a 2% increase compared to 2023.
57 of them were killed and 282 others were injured.
Over 80% of Kolbars were killed or injured due to direct gunfire by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Iran executed at least 122 prisoners in April 2025, marking a 59% surge compared to April 2024.
In April 2025, Iranian authorities executed a minimum of 122 prisoners across the country’s prisons—a stark 59% increase compared to the 77 executions recorded during the same month in 2024 – represent 45 additional cases.
Among those executed were at least five religious activists: Abdolrahman Gorgij, Abdolhakim Azim Gorgij, and Taj Mohammad Khormaly from Aq Qala; Farhad Shakeri from Gonbad-e Kavus; and Malek Ali Fadaei. Additionally, three political prisoners were also executed: Hamid Hoseinnezhad Heidaranlu from Chaldoran in East Kurdistan, Rostam Zeynaldini from Lashar, and Mohsen Langarneshin from Nowshahr in the Caspian region.
Stop Executions in Iran – Varisheh Moradi, Kurdish political prisoner, sentenced to death
Varisheh Moradi, a Kurdish political activist, women’s rights activist, and member of the Free Women’s Society of East Kurdistan (KJAR), has been sentenced to death by the Iranian judiciary on charges of “armed rebellion.” Recently, in protest against the death sentences imposed on activists, she went on a hunger strike that lasted 20 days.
According to a report received by the human rights organization Hengaw, Varisheh Moradi, a Kurdish political prisoner from Sanandaj currently held in Evin Prison, was sentenced to death by Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran, presided over by Judge Abolqasem Salavati
Pakhshan Azizi, a Kurdish political prisoner, is facing imminent execution in Iran. #پخشان_عزیزی
Pakhshan has been sentenced to death by the Islamic Republic’s judiciary on unsubstantiated charges. Stop execution!
This Kurdish female activist was charged with “Goat” in the 5th branch of the Evin Security Prosecutor’s interrogation in 2023, and her court sessions were held in two rounds on 8 and 27 June this year.
She was arrested in Tehran on August 3, 2023 by the security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran and, after enduring torture and interrogation by the Tehran Intelligence Department, was transferred to Ward 209 of Evin Prison and then on December 10, 2023, to the women's ward of Evin Prison.
This political prisoner was previously also arrested for four months for protesting against political executions, on 25th of October 2009 in a protest rally of Tehran University students and finally released on bail.
His death sentence was issued by the 26th branch of Tehran Revolutionary Court headed by Judge Iman Afshari, while he was completely denied access to a lawyer and meeting with his family.
After the uprising of “Women, Life, Freedom” the cracked execution machine of the Islamic Republic has been used against women in a different way, and now with the announcement of Azizi’s broadcasting order, Sharifa Mohammadi is also subject to execution.
Although the Iranian regime has been trying since the beginning of the sixties to silence such a voice of people’s protests by issuing a sentence, it has not and will never be able to fight the power of the people.
Meanwhile, the campaign to defend four Kurdish political prisoners condemns these sentences and we ask everyone to be the voice
