Iran Transfers Political Prisoners, Ages 64 and 52, to Ghezel Hesar Prison Amid Execution Fears
Jan 26, 2025, 12:09 PM
Behrouz Ehsani Eslamloo, 64, and Mehdi Hassani, 52, two political prisoners sentenced to death in Iran, were transferred from Evin Prison to Ghezel Hesar Prison on January 26, 2025. Their transfer, reportedly under the pretext of medical treatment, has raised concerns about the imminent execution of their sentences. Both individuals were convicted on charges including 'corruption on earth,' 'war against God,' and 'membership in the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran.' Their death sentences were upheld by Iran's Supreme Court earlier this month. The sudden relocation has sparked protests among other prisoners and heightened fears among their families. Amnesty International has previously called for a halt to their executions, citing a broader surge in executions in Iran.
