Evin Prison Video, September 14, 2024 by Narges Mohammadi
Tonight, September 14th 2024 on the second anniversary of the “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement and the night of Mahsa-Zhina Amini’s death, more than 25 female political prisoners in Evin Prison have gathered in the yard of the women’s ward.
They have written slogans on cardboard and hung them on the prison walls, chanting them in the hallways and yard:
Woman, Life, Freedom
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
Lives may be lost, heads may fall, but freedom will never perish
Reformists, conservatives, the story is over
The women of Evin stand united and determined until the death penalty is abolished. We will stand firm until the end.
The issuance of death sentences is the rulers’ revenge on women and Kurdistan, extending to every corner of Iran. They shout the names of the killed and executed and collectively sing the “Bella Ciao” song and “In Your Name, Which Is Our Code.”
In protest of the regime’s policies of repressing women over compulsory hijab, the women prisoners have burned scarves in the prison yard. The protesting women have announced that, in solidarity with the people and the demands of the Iranian protesters, they will go on a hunger strike on Sunday, the September 15.
