Iranian American Community of North Texas Vehemently Condemns the Execution of MEK Political Prisoners in Iran

Dallas, Texas —July 28, 2025

IACNT--At dawn on July 27, 2025, the Iranian regime secretly executed Behrouz Ehsani, 70, and Mehdi Hassani, 48, after years of unjust imprisonment and brutal torture. Their only “crime” was supporting a free, democratic republic in Iran and their association with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).

These politically motivated killings are a grim reminder of the 1988 Massacre, when over 30,000 political prisoners—most of them MEK members—were systematically and secretly executed. Today, the regime is once again turning to repression and violence in a desperate attempt to maintain its grip on power amid growing domestic unrest and instability.

 That same day, the Iranian American Community of North Texas held a rally to denounce these heinous executions and to call for urgent action. We urged the U.S. government, the U.S. Congress, and international institutions to condemn these executions in the strongest possible terms and to take concrete steps to hold the Iranian regime accountable for its ongoing crimes against humanity.

These brutal tactics will not break the spirit of the Iranian people. The people of Iran and their organized Resistance remain steadfast in their demand for freedom, democracy, and justice. Many more political prisoners remain on death row—we must act now to save them.
