Execution of Two More Political Prisoners in Iran; Rising Concerns Over Executions During War As the wave of executions in Iran continues, new reports say that two more political prisoners have been executed. Abolhassan Montazer and Vahid Bani Amerian were executed early Saturday, April 4, accused of having links with the “Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization" (People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran). Human rights groups have many times warned about these kind of cases, saying that many of these sentences are made without access to independent lawyers and based on forced confessions. Before their execution, Mai Sato (@drmaisato), the UN Special Rapporteur, had already expressed concern about their situation and asked for executions to be stopped immediately. She also mentioned that internet shutdowns make it very difficult to monitor what is happening. At the same time, Volker Türk (@volker_turk) and organizations like Amnesty International (@amnesty) have warned about the increase of executions in Iran and called for an immediate stop. According to reports, in less than three weeks and during the war situation, at least 6 political prisoners linked to the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization have been executed, which is raising more serious concerns about what may happen next.
