Call against increasing repression by the Iranian regime

NEWS CENTER – 7 Kurdish political parties and civil society organisations in Rojhilat and Iran called on everyone to speak out against the increasing repression of the regime. 
 
7 Kurdish political parties and civil society organisations in Rojhilat and Iran made a written statement on the increasing repression in Iran.
 
The joint statement reads as follows:
 
“Following the recent ceasefire in the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, a renewed and alarming wave of repression has swept through Iran and Kurdistan at the hands of the Islamic Republic. This crackdown includes mass arrests, politically motivated prosecutions, and a disturbing increase in executions, particularly targeting the Kurdish population.
 
Security agencies have escalated their campaign against political prisoners critical of the regime by fabricating charges and accelerating legal proceedings. The regime is also weaponizing legislation, including a review of the espionage law in parliament and the judiciary, to legitimize its persecution. Reports indicate that over 1,000 individuals have been arrested, with the number of executions on the rise.
 
Among the latest victims are Idris Ali, Azad Shojaei, and Rasoul Ahmad, three Kurdish kolbers who were accused, without due process, of collaborating with Israel. They were executed just days ago. Meanwhile, several other Kurdish prisoners from Bukan arrested and sentenced to death three years ago, remain at imminent risk of execution.
 
Historically, whenever the Islamic Republic suffers a setback in international affairs or foreign conflicts, it retaliates by suppressing internal dissent and escalating violence against civil society, especially movements advocating for human rights and democracy. Without strong internal and external pressure, there is a real risk of history repeating itself, as it did in 1988 when thousands of political prisoners were massacred following the ceasefire with Iraq.
 
We express our deep alarm over the escalating threats to civil and political activists, particularly prisoners of conscience, and urgently appeal to Ms. Mai Sato, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran, all international human rights organizations and all freedom-loving individuals and communities around the world.
 
We urge you to take immediate and decisive action to oppose this inhumane campaign. The Islamic Republic must not be allowed to carry out executions and repress dissent with impunity. These individuals' only ‘crime’ is their demand for dignity, freedom, and the right to a better life.
 
We also call on all Iranian political parties, civil society organizations, and diaspora communities, especially Kurds, to raise their voices through coordinated action, protest, and advocacy. Our collective solidarity and mobilization are critical to protecting lives and defending justice.
 
The solidarity of the Iranian people with political prisoners remains strong. With global support, this wave of repression can be countered and transformed into momentum for national and Kurdish movements, helping to energize broader protest movements across the country.”
