April 4, 2026 – Iran’s regime has executed two members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), Vahid Bani Amerian and Abolhassan Montazer, as part of a continuing crackdown on opposition figures.

This crime follows the executions of four other PMOI members on March 30–31, 2026: Mohammad Taghavi, Akbar Daneshvarkar, Babak Alipour, and Pouya Ghobadi.

Abolhassan Montazer, aged 66, was an architect and former political prisoner from the 1980s. Vahid Bani Amerian, 33, held a master’s degree in management and had previously spent four years in prison since 2017. Both men were dedicated PMOI members and graduates of top Iranian universities.

Following their arrests in January 2024, they were held in Evin Prison and Ghezel Hesar Prison under harsh conditions prior to their executions this morning, April 4, 2026.
