Today, at 2 pm, around 30 people gathered in front of the Government of Georgia’s Chancellery to express their protest against death executions in Iran. The organizers prepared an open letter, which was signed by all protesters participating in the demonstration and was submitted to the President of Georgia, the Parliament of Georgia, the Gender Equality Council under the Chairperson of the Parliament of Georgia and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia.

In the open letter, protesters address the government of Georgia with a demand for putting pressure on IRI to stop stoning, death executions, torturing and persecutions of people, especially women and children, in Iran. The protesters intend to upload the open letter on various websites and collect even more signatures for sending to the above mentioned authorities.

As for the format of the protest, which lasted for 25 minutes, it had the shape of people lined up waiting for the execution of their death penalties. The central figure was a symbol of a woman to be stoned, wrapped in a white blanket and sitting on the ground surrounded by stones. Behind her, there was a sign saying ‘Death Row’ followed by protesters holding nametags of those people who are facing an imminent risk of executions in Iran. Some of the participants were also holding signs with the slogans condemning death executions in Iran and expressing solidarity to Iranian people.
