On July 27, 2024, prisoners of Evin Women's ward held an all-night protest in the prison yard, chanting their demand that the IRI end execution despite retaliation of prison authorities. This video uses one of several audio files posted on social media; below are the main slogans heard in the different files, translated from Farsi to English by IEC Volunteers.

-No to threats, No to repression, No to execution!

-Political Prisoners Must be Freed!

-We may give up health, we may give up life, but we do not give up on emancipation!

-The Execution State must be Destroyed! The Islamic Republic will be Destroyed!

-Kurdistan will be the Graveyard of Fascists! Kurdistan is the light in the eye of Iran.

-Jin Jiyan Azadi ( Woman, Life Freedom)!

-Freedom is our right! Unity is our power!

-We Stand United to End Executions!
