Iran Executes Two Men as Protest-Related Hangings Continue; Global Rights Groups Express Concern.

Tehran: Iran executed two more men on Sunday in connection with the nationwide anti-government protests that occurred in January. According to Mizan, the judiciary’s official news outlet, the two men, identified as Mohammadamin Biglari and Shahin Vahedparast, were executed after the Supreme Court upheld their death sentences.

The authorities accused the duo of taking part in the January 2026 protests and attempting to storm a military site in Tehran. State media reported that they were charged with damaging and setting fire to the facility while trying to gain access to its weapons storage area. The report further alleged that they were part of a group aiming to steal military equipment from restricted locations, including police stations and Basij bases.

These executions follow the hangings of Abolhassan Montazer and Vahid Bani-Amerian on Saturday, who were charged with “armed rebellion” and membership in the opposition group Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK). Last week, an 18-year-old youth named Amirhossein Hatami was also executed in a related case. Amnesty International and other rights groups have condemned the move, alleging that the convictions were based on forced confessions obtained through torture and unfair trials, highlighting that several more men remain at imminent risk of execution.
