On Tuesday 8 April in yet another heinous crime, the Iranian regime hanged five political prisoners - Farhad Shakeri, Taj Mohammad Khormali, Abdolrahman Gorgij, Abdolhakim Azim Gorgij and Malek Fadaei - in Vakilabad prison in Mashhad. The executions were carried out without prior notice and without the prisoners being allowed a final meeting with their families.

These five prisoners were arrested in 2015 and 2019 and sentenced to death for Baghi (armed rebellion) by the notorious Judge Davoodabadi of Branch 1 of the Revolutionary Court of Mashhad. Three others involved in the same case - Hamid Rastbala, Kabir Sa'adat Jahani and Mohammad Ali Arayesh - who were also arrested in 2015, were executed earlier on 31 December 2020.

Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, said that Khamenei's relentless atrocities - such as the brutal execution of these five prisoners - are an attempt to prevent the inevitable uprising and downfall of his regime. But this only strengthens the resolve of the rebellious youth to rise up and resist. Inaction and silence in the face of a regime that is a disgrace to contemporary humanity only emboldens the ruling mullahs in Iran to commit further crimes and acts of terror.
