Two Iranian political prisoners, Vahid Baniaamerian and Abolhassan Montazer, have been held in an undisclosed location since March 29, with no contact with the outside world, according to the human rights group Iran Human Rights NGO (IHRNGO), as reported by Caliber.Az.

In a statement, the organisation said: “Death row political prisoners Vahid Baniamerian and Abolhassan Montazer have been held incommunicado at an undisclosed location since 29 March. Following the secret hangings of their four co-defendants, authorities have refused to disclose the prisoners’ whereabouts or return the bodies of those executed to the families.”

IHRNGO called for immediate international intervention to prevent their execution and urged authorities to return the remains of the executed prisoners to their families.

"Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, director of the organisation, said: 'Holding prisoners incommunicado at undisclosed locations, secret executions and the withholding of bodies, amounts to enforced disappearance and constitutes a serious breach of fundamental human rights.'

He added: 'The war must not overshadow the Islamic Republic’s atrocities against its own people. Vahid Baniamerian and Abolhassan Montazer are at imminent risk of execution. The world must act now to save them,'" the statement reads.
