On October 10, 2026, two members of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), Hamed Validi and Mohammad (Nima) Masoom Shahi, were executed in Karaj Central Prison by the Iranian regime. This execution is part of a broader trend, with at least 46 political prisoners reportedly executed in the past six months, including nine PMOI members. The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) held an international conference on October 9, condemning the escalating use of executions and calling for stronger international action against Iran's human rights abuses. NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi emphasized that the regime's use of executions reflects its fear of growing opposition. The conference coincided with the World Day Against the Death Penalty, highlighting the plight of political prisoners in Iran. The NCRI urged global leaders to make the cessation of executions a condition for political and economic relations with Iran.
