The executions followed legal proceedings that reportedly included short retrials and allegations of torture during detention. Prior to the first executions, security forces reportedly conducted operations inside Ghezel Hesar prison involving political prisoners.
The events occurred after months of domestic unrest, including protests in late 2025 and early 2026. Despite the executions, MEK Resistance Units continued their activities, stating that Resistance efforts would persist.
