Six PMOI members executed in spring 2026, Vahid Bani Amerian, Mohammad Taghavi, Babak Aliyur, Pouya Ghobadi, Akbar Daneshvarkar, Abolhassan Montazer, singing a resistance hymn in Ghezel Hesar Prison
In a deeply emotional essay published by the Argentinian digital outlet Seúl, journalist Osvaldo Bazán recounts the final days of six Iranian political prisoners executed in 2026 for being members of the Resistance Units affiliated with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran.
The article centers on a haunting video filmed inside Ghezel Hesar Prison in which the prisoners sing revolutionary hymns before their executions. Bazán portrays them as symbols of resistance against the Iranian regime, emphasizing their education, ideological conviction, and refusal to seek clemency. He especially highlights figures such as engineer and former regime loyalist Akbar Daneshvarkar and physics instructor Vahid Bani-Amerian.
The piece also condemns what the author sees as the indifference of Western media, Argentine activist circles, and international institutions toward executions and repression in Iran. Through letters written by condemned prisoners and fellow detainees, the article frames their deaths not as defeat, but as a deliberate act of political defiance and sacrifice.
A translated version of the article follows:
Nos cuenta @osvaldobazan sobre los presos politicos ejecutados en Irán que “en el grupo de seis hombres que saben que van a morir no hay temor, no hay duda, hay una convicción que se refleja en el final de las cartas que uno de ellos, Babak Alipour, dejó escritas”.
