Statement on the Mashhad Executions, May 4, 2026

Mehdi Rasouli, Mohammadreza Miri, and Ebrahim Dolatabadi were executed today in Mashhad by a regime that continues to hold the Iranian people hostage. Arrested during the January 8–9 uprising, they were later sentenced to death in sham trials devoid of due process.

Without immediate and decisive international action, hundreds of other courageous Iranians remain at risk of execution, especially as the regime imposes internet shutdowns to silence the truth and conceal its actions.
