Lawyer of Executed PMOI Members Was Unaware of Execution

-

Babak Paknia, a lawyer and the attorney for Akbar Daneshvar Kar and Mohammad Taghavi Sangdehi, announced that despite the execution sentence against his clients being carried out in the early hours of March 30, the ruling still had not been officially served to him or the other lawyer in the case. In this case, Babak Paknia and Mostafa Nili were the attorneys for Akbar Daneshvar Kar, Mohammad Taghavi Sangdehi, Babak Alipour, Pouya Ghobadi, and Vahid Bani Amerian.

Iran’s Regime Executes Two Members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK)

Babak Paknia wrote on his X social media account: “As of the moment of writing this tweet, no ruling has been served to us, and fundamentally we are not even aware of the outcome of the final proceedings, nor do we know whether this sentence has also been upheld for our clients or not.” He continued: “Before carrying out the sentence, it is necessary that its contents be served to the defense lawyers or at the very least to the defendant himself; the bare minimum right of a condemned person is to be able to benefit from the right to retrial and a stay of execution.”

The Iranian regime’s judiciary announced yesterday that two prisoners accused of membership in the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) were executed in the early hours of March 30. This morning, two other members of the PMOI were also executed by Iran’s regime.

Pouya Ghobadi, 33, an electrical engineer, and Babak Alipour, 34, who held a bachelor’s degree in law, were hanged this morning.

Amid the ongoing war, Iran’s regime intends to prevent future protests and uprisings through fear and intimidation.
