On Sunday, November 10, 2024, after political prisoner Varisha Moradi was issued a death sentence, the women political prisoners in Evin staged a protest in the prison yard, chanting anti-government slogans.
The women political prisoners gathered twice, at 3:00 and 6:00 p.m., during their outdoor break to voice their outrage against the execution order for Varisha Moradi. Their chants included: “Death to the dictator,” “The women of Evin stand united to overturn the death sentence,” “Freedom, freedom, freedom,” “Our lives may go, but our quest for freedom will never die,” “The death sentence is the regime’s revenge on Kurdish women and all corners of Iran,” “The executioner’s noose has no power over Mount Damavand,” and “Political prisoners must be freed.”
The Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) strongly condemned the execution sentence for Varisha Moradi by the regime’s criminal judiciary on November 10, 2024, calling for urgent international action to secure the immediate release of this Kurdish compatriot.
On the same day, Judge Abolqasem Salavati, notorious for his brutal rulings, sentenced Varisha to death in Tehran’s sham court on charges of “armed insurgency (Bagh-ye).”
