Iran executes two linked to opposition group, media say

April 4 (Reuters) - ‌Iran ​on ​Saturday executed two men it said were ‌convicted of links to an ⁠opposition group, the People's ‌Mojahedin Organisation of Iran, ‌and of carrying out armed attacks, domestic media ​reported.

The executions were the latest in recent ⁠days of individuals with PMOI links.

The PMOI ​confirmed Saturday's executions, saying in a statement that ​Iran was "trying to ‌hide its weakness by executing political prisoners, ⁠especially PMOI members and supporters." Four PMOI members were ⁠executed earlier this week, it ​said.

The group said the two men executed on Saturday were arrested ‌in January 2024 and had their death ‌sentences upheld in ⁠December 2025.
