Iranian Political Prisoners Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani Face Imminent Execution After Transfer to Ghezel Hesar Prison
Jan 26, 2025, 05:15 PM
Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani, two political prisoners in Iran, have been transferred from Evin Prison to Ghezel Hesar Prison, facing imminent execution. The transfer occurred on January 26, 2025, and has raised concerns about the potential enforcement of their death sentences. Ehsani, aged 70, and Hassani, aged 48, were convicted on charges related to their alleged membership in the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI). Their death sentences were upheld by Iran's Supreme Court three weeks prior to the transfer. Following the move, inmates at Evin Prison protested, chanting slogans against the regime. Amnesty International has appealed for the immediate cancellation of their death sentences, and the European Parliament has passed a resolution calling for the abolition of the death penalty in Iran.
