For a country like Iran, the International Day Against the Death Penalty means a lot. Executions were always used in Iran to crackdown political opponents during the Shah time. But after the revolution, when ayatollahs took power, execution of many political opponents was justified under the label of Moharebeh (war against God and the state).
In 2003, 10 October is the day to advocate for the abolition of the death penalty and to raise awareness of the conditions and the circumstances which affect prisoners with death sentences. This day is organized and supported by World Coalition Against the Death Penalty and numerous, including Amnesty International.

Iranian women, victims of Islamic fundamentalism
In 1979, Ruhollah Khomeini seized power in Iran and established a brutal theocracy founded on an Ideology that encouraged the discrimination of women under the pretext of Islam.
From the very beginning, Khomeini consolidated his base for repression in Iran, especially against women. The forced hijab was his first move toward tightening the noose around women. Many Muslim women in particular female supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), protested against Khomeini by organizing a large rally against the misogynistic law Khomeini tried to justify with the slogan “either hijab or suppression.”
