What to know

  • Iran executed two young men (ages 19-20) on Tuesday for roles in January anti-government protests, bringing the protest-linked execution total to 36 this year.
  • Human rights groups documented torture, forced confessions, mock executions, and denial of legal access in both cases, despite neither defendant being charged with murder.
  • The executions targeted participants in January 8-9 demonstrations at Alikhani Square in Isfahan; three other defendants in the same case face execution risk.
  • Iran has recorded 691 total executions in 2026 amid ongoing war with the US and Israel and a broader crackdown on dissent following the largest popular challenge to the Islamic Republic since 1979.

“Ebrahimi was subjected to severe physical and psychological torture during interrogation in an attempt to extract forced confessions.”

    Iran executes Maleki and Ebrahimi by hanging

    Amirhossein Maleki (20) and Amirhossein Ebrahimi (19) were hanged at Isfahan Central Prison on Tuesday morning. Iranian judiciary's Mizan news agency said they were convicted of efsad-e fel arz (corruption on Earth) and moharebeh (enmity against God) in connection with the deaths of four security personnel at Alikhani Square on January 8.
