Call of human rights organizations for a general strike "No to execution!"

Executions in Kurdistan have accelerated so much and the repression machine of the Islamic Republic of Iran is so brazenly dragging the youth of this land as if it has used the hangman and naked force to punish the people of Kurdistan collectively and kill freedom and liberty and freedom-seeking and freedom-seekers. In the latest case, unfortunately, four Kurdish political prisoners were executed this morning and the death sentences of six other Kurdish political and religious prisoners were confirmed by the Supreme Court and the possibility of executing their sentences in the coming days is potential.

We, a group of activists and human rights organizations, call on all segments of Kurdish society to join a general and nationwide strike on Tuesday of this week (January 30) and show their protest against this inhuman and anti-human rights process.

The purpose of this strike is not only to show opposition to execution but also to draw national and international attention to the worrying situation of human rights in Kurdistan and to end the execution.

We invite all Kurdish political parties, civil society organizations, human rights institutions, and awakened consciences around the world to declare their support for this strike and be the voice of the people of Kurdistan in the struggle for justice and human rights.
