From January 25 to February 1, actions worldwide marked the one-year anniversary of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” hunger strike by prisoners, which has spread to 34 prisons across Iran. A related general market strike shut down completely or in part at least 13 cities in the oppressed Kurdistan region of Iran on January 22 (more on this to follow).

Noteworthy was an action in Colombia by @quemarlajaula (“burn the cage” in Spanish):

Today in Bogotá, promoters of the campaign to free political prisoners in Iran held a march with posters, shouted slogans and spoke with passersby about the campaign and making some agitation stops. The march started at the National Pedagogical University and ended at the National University. [See the January 29 post for more photos and the original Spanish.]
