Two other political prisoners executed in Iran, judiciary says
Iranian state media said Abolhassan Montazer and Vahid Bani-Amerian, two political prisoners, were executed on Saturday after their sentences were upheld by the Supreme Court.
They had been sentenced to death in December 2024 alongside four others on charges including “armed rebellion” linked to the exiled opposition group Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK), while rights group said they were subjected to severe torture to extract confessions.
In recent months, the Islamic Republic has significantly intensified its repressive policies and has even used the label “terrorist” against citizens participating in the January protests.
