They were executed for being part of the Iranian resistance led by Maryam Rajavi and as part of the Iranian regime&#8217;s publicly declared intention to repeat the 1988 massacre. That massacre, which took place over a few days, resulted in the execution of over 30,000 political prisoners\u2014a massacre the mullahs continue to describe as a \u2018historic successful experience.\u2019 At least 745 executions have been carried out by the Iranian theocracy since the beginning of the year. I had interviewed Mehdi&#8217;s daughter, and as Nessuno Tocchi Caino, we appealed to our government and international organizations to prevent these executions. Today, the news of their hanging demands an even more urgent commitment, as many prisoners in Iran&#8217;s death rows face the same charges as Mehdi and Behrouz and could face a mass execution.
