Iran executes two men convicted of links to MEK opposition group and armed attacks
·Iran
Iran executed two men on Saturday convicted of links to the People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (MEK/PMOI) and of carrying out armed attacks. Iranian domestic media reported the executions as the latest in a series of recent executions of individuals with MEK links — a pattern of wartime internal suppression.
Iran executed two individuals on Saturday April 4 who were convicted of ties to the People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI/MEK), an exiled opposition group, and of carrying out armed attacks. Iranian domestic media described the executions as the latest in a series in recent days targeting individuals with similar links. The pattern signals that Tehran is conducting a parallel internal security crackdown alongside the external war — eliminating potential fifth-column threats and signaling zero tolerance for opposition activity during the conflict. MEK-linked executions have been a recurring feature of Iranian wartime governance. No further details on the identity of the individuals or the specific attacks they were convicted of were immediately available.
