DESCRIPTION:We will be hanging the following banners in support of the IEC 
 (International Emergency Campaign to Free Iran's Political Prisoners 
 Now!)\nFREE IRANS POLITICAL PRISONERS NOW .ORG\nWOMEN                      
 LIFE                     FREEDOM\nAll those who stand for justice and yearn 
 for a better world must rally to the cause of freeing Iran’s political 
 prisoners NOW.  \n\nBeginning in October 2020, the Islamic Republic of 
 Iran (IRI) launched a massive new wave of arbitrary arrests against labor, 
 women's, and human rights activists; dissident intellectuals and artists; 
 protesters and revolutionaries; and members of religious and oppressed 
 minorities.\n\nMany are now being tortured, held in solitary confinement, 
 and denied legal rights, assistance or medical aid, as the IRI attempts to 
 force "confessions,” conducts sham “trials,” and carries out brutal 
 floggings.\n\nAmnesty International has condemned Iran, which executed 246 
 people in 2020 and perhaps more in 2021, for using the death penalty as 
 “a weapon of political repression.” This regime has a blood-stained 
 record of attempting to violently crush any form of dissent or resistance 
 — including sudden mass executions of political prisoners as happened in 
 1988.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/09/08/18858825.php
