The East Kurdistan Free Women's Community (KJAR), an umbrella of organisations fighting for women's rights in East Kurdistan, launched the campaign "No to Death, Yes to Free Life" on the 14th anniversary of the execution of Shirin Alamhouliand her comrades on 9 May 2010.

Many women's organisations from different parts of the world have expressed their support for the campaign, which also received support from Italian and Colombian activists.

In a video message of support sent to KJAR, the Women's Coordination of Turin, Italy, expressed their "solidarity with the women oppressed by the misogynist regime".

The message reads: "We, the Women's Coordination of Turin, Italy, express our solidarity with the women oppressed by the sexist and misogynist regime in Iran. In particular, we call for the immediate release of the two Kurdish women sentenced to death, Pakshan Azizi and Sharifeh Mohammadi. No to the death penalty, yes to a free life. Jin Jiyan Azadî."

Pakshan Azizi was sentenced to death on 23 July and Sharifeh Mohammadi on 4 July. Both women were subjected to severe torture and inhuman treatment during weeks of detention.
