---NCRI Statement - 7 Jun 2026---

Iran: Mrs. Rajavi Calls for Urgent UN Action to Prevent Execution of Five Political Prisoners in Ahvaz

Four of these prisoners have been sentenced to death on charges of membership in the PMOI

Reports indicate an imminent risk of execution for five political prisoners—Masoud Jamei, Alireza Merdasi, Farshad Etemadifar, Reza Abdali, and Hassan Maslavi—in Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz.

As stated in the November 14, 2025, statement of the Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), three of these prisoners—Farshad Etemadifar, Alireza Merdasi (Homeidavi), and Masoud Jamei—were arrested in the summer of 2023. In July 2025, Branch 1 of the regime's Revolutionary Court in Ahvaz, presided over by the notorious judge Adibi-Mehr, sentenced them to death on charges of 'Moharebeh' (enmity against God), 'assembly and collusion against national security,' 'membership in the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK),' and 'propaganda against the regime.' These sentences were upheld by the regime's Supreme Court on November 14, 2025.

The Secretariat's November 6, 2025, statement noted that Reza Abdali, who was arrested in February 2025, was sentenced in July 2025 to death and 15 years in prison on charges of supporting the PMOI. This sentence was also upheld by the regime's Supreme Court in November 2025.

Farshad Etemadifar, 31, is from Basht in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province. He was previously arrested in 2018 and imprisoned for 20 months. Masoud Jamei, 49, an oil company employee, and Alireza Merdasi, 53, a teacher, are both Arab compatriots arrested in Ahvaz. Reza Abdali, 36, is also an Arab compatriot from the Daghagheleh tribe in Ahvaz.

Sheiban Prison is one of the most overcrowded and unsanitary prisons in Iran. Prisoners suffer from poor water quality, severe water shortages, and a lack of other basic necessities. Because the inmate population is several times the prison's capacity, they face a severe shortage of sanitary facilities.

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), warned of the imminent risk of execution facing these prisoners and called for urgent intervention by the United Nations and all human rights organizations to annul their death sentences and save their lives.

She added that the clerical regime desperately tries to prevent the explosion of popular anger and the escalation of the uprising through these criminal executions and by creating an atmosphere of fear and terror.

✊ Iran's student protests, has spread to dozens of cities across the country.

Protests against an education system that favours wealth and regime connections over talent and fairness.

Iran’s Students Protest an Unfair Education System

On Saturday, 6 June 2026, student protests in Iran entered a new phase, spreading to dozens of cities after four days of demonstrations against discrimination in education.

From Tehran, Shiraz, Mashhad, Ahvaz and Tabriz to Kermanshah, Karaj, Rasht, Isfahan, Qom, Yazd and many other cities, young people took to the streets to demand equal access to education and a fairer future.

At the centre of their anger is Iran’s national university entrance exam, known as the Konkur. For many families, it is meant to be the main route to university, a career and a better life. But students say the system now favours the wealthy, the well-connected and those close to the ruling establishment.

Children from rich families can often attend private schools, hire expensive tutors and take special preparation courses. Meanwhile, students from poorer families face overcrowded classrooms, underfunded schools and a lack of basic support. For them, the dream of university is becoming increasingly out of reach.

The slogans reflected both anger and courage: “Do not be afraid, we are all together,” “Students, raise your voice, demand your rights,” and “Students may die, but they will not accept humiliation.”

The protests targeted the regime’s Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, which plays a major role in shaping education policy. Students also chanted against its secretary, Abdul-Hossein Khosropanah, saying: “Khosropanah, have some shame, leave the students alone.” Khosropanah was sanctioned in 2023 by the EU, the UK and the US over serious human rights violations.

Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, praised the protesting students and called on students, teachers and universities across Iran to support them. She said solidarity, perseverance and the expansion of protests were the only way to achieve their legitimate demands.

The message from Iran’s students is simple: education should not be reserved for the rich or the loyal. It should belong to every child in Iran

.@FoxNews: Olympians unite to speak out against Iran for the execution of the country's star athletes https://t.co/4JgKwHVP79 "Tragically, Iran has a grim history of executing athletes for their beliefs, including Habib Khabiri, the captain of Iran’s national football team, who was executed for his affiliation with the PMOI, and Forouzan Abdi, captain of Iran’s national women’s volleyball team, who was executed alongside 30,000 political prisoners during the 1988 massacre. In 2020, Iranian wrestling champion Navid Afkari was executed after participating in peaceful protests in 2018."

The passing of our nation’s defiant artist, Marjane Satrapi, is a grievous and heartbreaking loss. She was a free-spirited intellectual, a woman profoundly devoted to human dignity, and an untiring voice for liberty who never ceased her struggle against tyranny.

Her cause was never the defense of one form of power against another; rather, it was the defense of freedom against all manifestations of oppression and despotism. Just as she condemned the Shah’s autocratic monarchy and its machinery of repression and torture, she stood with equal resolve against the religious tyranny of the mullahs—a regime that betrayed the Iranian people’s aspirations for freedom and plunged the nation into a relentless cycle of executions, torture, persecution, fear, and violence.

Through her art, her films, and her writings, she gave a face and a voice to the victims of tyranny. She bore witness to the suffering of a people whom dictators sought to silence and erase from memory. Her work was far more than artistic creation; it was an act of resistance, a vessel of historical memory, and a beacon of hope.

Yet what a bitter truth it is that Western governments so often remained deaf to the message she carried against the bloodstained dictatorship of the mullahs. Despite the anguish of the Iranian people and the countless crimes committed by this regime, they persisted in the shameful policy of appeasement and accommodation.

It was precisely in protest against this moral contradiction that Marjane Satrapi declined the Legion of Honour. Through that courageous and deeply symbolic gesture, she voiced her indignation at the widening gulf between the lofty values proclaimed by Western democracies and their conduct toward the people of Iran. Her principled refusal remains a call to conscience and a summons to moral responsibility in the face of a nation’s suffering.

As the people of Iran have cried out in the streets, Iran belongs neither to the dictatorship of the Shah of yesterday nor to the religious fascism of today. Iran belongs to its free people—to its courageous women, its rebellious youth, and all honorable and liberty-loving Iranians who continue, through sacrifice and steadfast devotion, to strive for a democratic, secular republic founded upon the sovereignty of the people.

🚨 BREAKING: PMOI Supporter Yaghoub (Yakub) Derakhshan Sentenced to Death for a Second Time In Iran

June 5, 2026 — Iran's judiciary has sentenced political prisoner and PMOI supporter Yakoub Derakhshan to death for a second time.
The 51-year-old prisoner, held in Lakan Prison in Rasht, received the sentence following an online trial conducted without the presence of his lawyer. He was first sentenced to death in July 2025 after his arrest in April 2025. Although the regime's Supreme Court referred the case for review in November 2025, the Revolutionary Court has now reissued the death sentence.
Derakhshan is at serious risk of execution.
