Opposition-Aligned 'Resistance Units' Stage Nationwide Anti-Execution Campaign

| Iran History

Iran's opposition-aligned Resistance Units claimed a coordinated campaign of graffiti and placard displays across Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, Tabriz, and Kermanshah, protesting state executions and demanding the release of political prisoners. Reported slogans included 'Political prisoners must be freed' and 'No to state executions' in Tehran, 'No to the regime of executions' in Shiraz, and 'Justice will not be achieved with executions' in Tabriz. The campaign follows a wave of executions of protesters convicted in connection with the January 2026 uprising.
