Iran: Wednesday, April 30, 2025 – Execution of Four Prisoners in Mashhad and Qezelhessar Prisons
Urgent Call for Action to Save Prisoners on Death Row and to Hold Regime Leaders Accountable Before Justice
The Iranian regime’s judiciary announced today that on the morning of Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Mohsen Langar-Neshin, 34, was executed in Qezelhessar Prison. He had been charged with espionage and “presence at the scene of the assassination of Sayyad Khodaei (a senior commander of the Quds terrorist force) in Tehran” in alleged collaboration with Israel.
Langar-Neshin was arrested in July 2023 and subsequently sentenced to death. On February 16, 2025, the Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran announced that Mohsen Langar-Neshin and Esmail Fekri, both sentenced to death, were suddenly transferred from Evin to Qezelhessar Prison along with two other political prisoners.
Additionally, on Saturday, April 26, 2025, Rostam Zeinoddini, a political prisoner and a Baluch compatriot and freedom fighter, was hanged in Zahedan Prison. He had been arrested and subjected to torture in 2023.
In another criminal act, also carried out this morning, three Baluch compatriots—Abdol-Samad Gorgij, and two brothers named Abdol-Ghaffar and Noor-al-Din Lojeh’i—were executed in Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad.
The Iranian Resistance once again urges the United Nations, its relevant bodies, the European Union, and member states to condemn these atrocities and take immediate action to save the lives of prisoners on death row. The case of human rights violations in Iran must be referred to the UN Security Council, and the regime’s leaders must be brought to justice for executions and massacres.
