The New York City Bar Association (\u201cCity Bar\u201d) has issued an urgent condemnation of the impending executions of Iranian political prisoners Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani<\/a>. These individuals have been sentenced to death by the Islamic Republic of Iran on politically motivated charges linked to their peaceful activism and alleged affiliation with the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI<\/a>). Their cases exemplify the Iranian government\u2019s systematic suppression of dissent and blatant disregard for international human rights law. The City Bar is particularly alarmed by their recent transfer to Ghezel Hesar Prison, a facility notorious for executions, indicating that their execution may be imminent.<\/p>\n
