The regime’s judiciary in Lorestan province announced on January 12th, 2022, that “the death sentences of two people had been carried out,” but the names of the victims, the time of execution and the place of their burial remained unknown. We now know the two executed dissidents were Jahanbakhsh Abbasi and Mehran Naqdi, whom the mullahs’ court sentenced to death last year after torturing them and forcing them to take part in television confessions. Both men were charged with “Moharebeh” (Waging war against God). Engulfed in crisis, and terrified of the spread of uprisings, the clerical regime has found the only way to remain in power in stepping up executions, torture, and repression.
