At dawn today, April 4, heroic PMOI members Vahid Bani-Amerian and Abolhassan Montazer were executed by hanging by the executioners of the mullahs’ regime in Ghezel Hesar Prison, joining other martyrs who sacrificed their lives on the path to freedom: Mohammad Taghavi, Akbar Daneshvargar, Babak Alipour, and Pouya Ghobadi.<\/p>\n
Eng. Vahid Bani-Amerian, 34, an electrical engineer with a master’s degree in management and an elite graduate, was arrested in January 2024. He had been arrested several times since 2017 and spent a total of six years in prison. Abolhassan Montazer, 67, an architectural engineer and a political prisoner from both the Shah’s era and the 1980s, had been arrested multiple times in 2017, 2018, and 2020. He was last arrested on December 21, 2023. In total, he spent over 11 years in the mullahs’ regime’s prisons.<\/p>\n
The regime’s judiciary listed the charges against these two proud members as membership in the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) with the aim of overthrowing the regime and disrupting its security, conducting operations, preparing explosive launchers, and carrying out numerous actions and explosions across Tehran. It emphasized that Vahid Bani-Amerian ‘also participated in operations attacking various locations’ and was arrested ‘along with Abolhassan Montazer while they intended to carry out a launcher-firing operation, possessing four launchers’.<\/p>\n
The regime’s judiciary added that Abolhassan ‘played an important and influential role in guiding the team; together with Mohammad Taghavi, using funds provided by the hypocrites [the regime’s derogatory term for the PMOI], he proceeded to procure a safe house’ and ‘had accommodated other affiliates in organizational houses… The rented houses were also used as a workshop for manufacturing launchers and homemade bombs.’ It stated he established a ‘workshop for manufacturing launchers and homemade bombs’ and ‘in collaboration with other team members, carried out armed actions in line with the objectives of the PMOI.’ (Mizan news agency, April 4).<\/p>\n
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), stated that the ruling religious dictatorship in Iran has once again spilled the blood of two of the bravest children of the Iranian people, revealing its terror and desperation in the face of the PMOI and the Liberation Army.<\/p>\n
Commander Vahid was a courageous PMOI member who was always on the frontline confronting the anti-human enemy, whether within the Resistance Units or in captivity and prison. The devoted PMOI member Abolhassan Montazer was a political prisoner from the Shah’s era who had spent nearly 11 years in the mullahs’ regime’s prisons since the 1980s, serving as a pillar of reliance for the PMOI organization and other political prisoners.<\/p>\n
