During the gathering, the incarcerated women chanted slogans demanding the cancellation of death sentences for Moradi, Pakhshan Azizi, and other prisoners on death row.
Slogans included “Varisheh Moradi must be freed” and “Woman, Life, Freedom.”
Branch 15 of the Islamic Revolutionary Court in Tehran sentenced Moradi to death on charges of “armed rebellion.”
The court cited Moradi’s alleged affiliation with the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK) as grounds for the sentence.
Throughout the proceedings, Moradi’s legal team faced extensive restrictions. Her lawyers were denied access to her case file during the final hearing on October 6 and in previous sessions.
Moradi herself was not allowed to present a defense in court.
In protest of the death sentence, Moradi initiated a 20-day hunger strike beginning October 10, coinciding with the World Day Against the Death Penalty.
