Iran executed two members of the banned Mujahideen-e-Khalq group for attacking civilian infrastructure with homemade projectiles, the judiciary news outlet Mizan said on Sunday, amid criticism from Amnesty International over a grossly unfair trial.
Mehdi Hassani and Behrouz Ehsani-Eslamloo, identified as operational elements of the MEK, were sentenced to death in September 2024 a verdict upheld by the Supreme Court, which denied their request for a retrial, Mizan said.
The terrorists, in co-ordination with MEK leaders, had ... built launchers and hand-held mortars in line with the group's goals, fired projectiles heedlessly at citizens, homes, service and administrative facilities, educational and charity centres, the report said.
Maryam Rajavi, who leads the National Council of Resistance of Iran of which the MEK is the main force, paid tribute to the pair.
Honour to these steadfast Mojahedin who, after three years of unwavering resistance under torture, pressure and threats, fulfilled their solemn pledge to God and the people with pride and dignity.
