In an audio message from prison, Parisa Kamali says executions will not secure the regime’s survival and urges international action to stop the wave of state killings.

Political prisoner Parisa Kamali, currently imprisoned in Yazd Central Prison, has released an audio message condemning the Iranian regime’s continued use of executions and calling on the international community to take stronger action against what she described as the regime’s “killing machine.”

In her statement, Kamali argued that the regime has relied on executions and violent repression for decades in an effort to instill fear and preserve its rule, but insisted that the strategy has failed to extinguish public resistance.

“Executions Cannot Secure the Regime’s Survival”

Reflecting on the regime’s record of political repression, Kamali said the Iranian people continue to bear the trauma of repeated state violence.

“We are a people who are always in mourning. Before we have recovered from the grief of the government’s killings during the January uprising, our wounds are reopened. From 1988 until today, blood has continued to flow.”

She said the regime has sought to maintain its grip on power through executions and intimidation.

“The mullahs’ fascist regime has relied on executions and repeated killings to spread fear and ensure its survival, but it has failed. We have overcome the fear of death, and we are filled with anger.”

Kamali also expressed hope that Iran would one day abolish capital punishment altogether.

“We believe the day will come when executions will no longer have any place in our country’s constitution.”

Appeal to the International Community

Kamali called on international organizations and human rights bodies not to remain silent in the face of the regime’s human rights abuses.

“We call on the international community and human rights organizations not to turn a blind eye to the crimes and killings committed by the mullahs’ executioner regime against the people of Iran.”

She urged governments and international institutions to adopt effective measures to halt what she described as the regime’s machinery of repression.

“Take appropriate decisions and actions to stop this killing machine. No to executions. We look forward to a free and prosperous Iran.”

Growing Calls to End Executions

Kamali’s message comes amid continued domestic and international criticism of the Iranian regime’s increasing use of the death penalty against political prisoners and other detainees. Human rights advocates have repeatedly warned that executions are being used not only as criminal punishment but also as a tool to intimidate society and suppress dissent.

Her appeal echoes the broader demands of anti-execution campaigns inside Iran, which continue to call for an immediate halt to executions, the protection of political prisoners, and greater international accountability for the regime’s human rights violations.
