Kurdish activist Warisha Moradi, who is in Tehran's Evin prison, went on an indefinite hunger strike on 10 October on World Day against the Death Penalty to protest against the death penalty in Iran and her own prolonged detention.

Peace Mothers in the Sine (Sanandaj) city of East Kurdistan started a hunger strike to embrace the resistance of Warisha Moradi, a member of the East Kurdistan Free Women's Community (KJAR), who is imprisoned in the notorious Evin Prison.

The solidarity hunger strike started by Peace Mothers on 17 October Thursday will last for 3 days.

Peace Mothers gathered at the foot of Mount Abid in Sina, set fire to the ropes symbolising execution and chanted ‘No to the death penalty, yes to free life’.

Peace Mothers appealed to international organisations for a stronger struggle against the death penalty.

Warisha Moradi, also known as Ciwana Sine, was arrested on 1 August 2023 during a police check near her hometown of Sine and taken to an unknown location. Iran's regime judiciary accuses her of "enmity towards God" and "armed rebellion against the state". The allegations are related to Moradi's membership in the KJAR, the umbrella organization of the Kurdish women's movement in Iran, and her commitment to women's and feminist issues. Tehran sees the KJAR as a "separatist terrorist organization" because it is said to be part of the Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan (PJAK).
