Iran executes two political prisoners PHOTO

Iranian authorities have executed two political prisoners, according to the judiciary, in a case linked to charges involving an exiled opposition group.

Abolhassan Montazer and Vahid Bani-Amerian were put to death on April 4 after the Iranian Supreme Court upheld their sentences, Caliber.Az reports via Iranian media.

The pair had been convicted and sentenced to death in December 2024 alongside four others on charges including “armed rebellion” linked to the exiled opposition group Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization, according to official accounts.

Human rights groups, however, have alleged that the defendants were subjected to severe torture to extract confessions.
