Following the execution of four political prisoners on 31 March and 1 April 2026, Vahid Bani-Amirian and Abolhassan Montazer—two other defendants in the same six-person case—are now also at risk of execution.
The Islamic regime executed Akbar Daneshvar-Kar and Mohammad Taghavi-Sangdehi on 30 March, and Pouya Ghobadi (34, an electrical engineering graduate) and Babak Alipour (35, a law graduate) on 31 March in Qezel Hesar Prison, without even allowing them a final visit with their families. In recent days, several other political prisoners have also been transferred to unknown locations.
We must not allow the ruling killers in Iran to take more lives under the cover of the current wartime conditions. These same Islamic executioners—who in January alone drenched tens of thousands of protesting people in blood—have intensified their threats against the population, increased arrests, and are seeking revenge on protesting people for their defeats.
Alongside the executions, armed groups affiliated with Hashd al-Shaabi have reportedly been brought into Abadan and paraded through the city in an attempt to intimidate the population.
We must mobilise all our strength, inside and outside the country, for the freedom of political prisoners and all detained protesters. We must not allow the ruling executioners to carry out further killings under wartime conditions—conditions they themselves have created—while holding prisoners in inhumane conditions and using them as human shields.
Outside Iran, especially, a wide range of actions can be organised—from protest gatherings to engagement with international institutions, labour organisations, progressive bodies, and governments—to apply effective political pressure for the release of prisoners and an end to executions.
All networks, organisations and movements associated with Woman, Life, Freedom, as well as all opposition groups and freedom-loving Iranians abroad, are called upon to take part in a coordinated and widespread effort.
Executions must stop. The death penalty must be abolished.
All political prisoners and detained protesters must be released immediately and unconditionally.
