The Iranian judiciary’s Mizan news outlet reported on Sunday that the Islamic Republic executed two men who were accused of attempting to break into a military site and seize weapons in January, as per Reuters.
According to Iran Human Rights, the Iranian agency confirmed that Mohammad Amin Biglari and Shahin Vahedparast Kolor were executed by hanging on April 5.
Biglari, a 19-year-old studying computer science, and Kolor, aged 30, were apprehended alongside several others on January 8 during a suppression of protests in Tehran, as reported by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights.
They faced serious charges, including “enmity against God (moharebeh), corruption on earth, arson of public facilities, and assembly and collusion to commit crimes against national security,” according to the organization.

Another detainee from the January 8 incident, 18-year-old Amirhossein Hatami, was executed on April 2, as reported by Iran Human Rights, with information sourced from the Mizan News Agency.
Ali Fahim, a 23-year-old who was among those arrested on January 8, was executed on April 6, the Hengaw Organization noted on Monday, explaining that the Mizan news agency confirmed the killing.
“These executions are part of the Islamic Republic’s strategy of survival, waging war against its own people under the shadow of external conflict,” Iran Human Rights Director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam noted. “The international community must respond with urgency. The situation of prisoners and the regime’s systematic use of the death penalty as a political tool of repression must be made a central condition in any negotiations or engagement with the Islamic Republic.”
The executions occurred as the U.S. and Israel continue to wage war against Iran.
