Join global actions to stop executions and free political prisoners in Iran

April 10, 2026 Statements

URGENT | Call for Global Action – 11–26 April 2026

We, the signatories of this call, invite all Iranians abroad, activists, associations and organisations, human rights defenders, as well as all political parties and groups, to unite and take action to advance the urgent demands of the people of Iran.

Our urgent demands:

  • Immediate halt to all executions and abolition of the death penalty
    ● Immediate release of all detainees and political prisoners
    ● Immediate access to a free and open internet in Iran

We propose that between 11 and 26 April 2026, a wide range of actions be organised—including sit-ins, demonstrations, street performances, meetings with members of parliament, governments, political parties, labour unions, progressive organisations, media outlets, and any other effective initiatives to amplify the voice of the people of Iran internationally.

Now is the time for solidarity and action.
Join this movement to stop executions, free political prisoners, and ensure free internet access.
