At least 1,500 death row prisoners at Iran’s largest jail, Ghezel Hesar prison near Tehran, have been on hunger strike for two weeks. They sewed their lips shut and chanted 'No to Executions' to protest a surge in executions, particularly for drug-related offenses and charges linked to anti-government protests. The strike began after six men were transferred to solitary confinement ahead of possible execution. Prisoners demand an end to the death penalty.
