Iran hangs two political prisoners over alleged terrorism charges

Mar 30, 2026, 06:30 GMT+1Updated: 10:32 GMT+1

Iran’s judiciary said on Monday that two men were executed following accusations of carrying out multiple attacks in Tehran.

The judiciary said Akbar Daneshvarkar and Mohammad Taghavi Sangdehi had conducted several attacks in the capital and explosive launchers were found in safe houses used by them.

The two political prisoners had been sentenced to death in 2024 by Tehran’s Revolutionary Court.

Authorities accused the two of having links with the exiled opposition group Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK).
