🚨 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.

The claim that Iran "shut down" its nuclear program is false.
In this clip from Jan 22, 2019, Iran’s former nuclear chief, Ali Akbar Salehi, admits the regime used deceptive measures to mislead the international community while pretending to abide by the JCPOA.

The Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) extends its condolences on the untimely passing of Marjane Satrapi, a free-spirited author and director. She was a woman artist who became a model of honor and dignity by refusing the Legion of Honour. Her memory will remain alive in the hearts of Iran’s community of free-spirited artists and writers who have stood face-to-face against both the Shah’s and the Sheikh’s dictatorships.

Marjane Satrapi dies at 56 as a defiant voice against the Iranian Regime

[Nasser Sharif @NasserSharif1]

FIFA cannot turn a blind eye while a regime uses football as a tool of repression. Iranian athletes face intimidation, imprisonment, and worse, simply for exercising basic freedoms.
On the eve of the World Cup, the message is clear: uphold your own statutes. Suspend and expel the regime. Stand with the athletes, not their oppressors. #FreeIran #FIFAFever #Fifa @NCRIUS

🕯️A Tribute to Vahid Bani Amerian
What a profound loss—not only for the Iranian Resistance and people, but for the future of Iran.

https://t.co/EokkrBwzvf

Vahid Bani Amerian, 34, was not simply another victim of repression; he was among Iran’s very best and brightest. He represented the extraordinary caliber of the movement to which he belonged, the Mujahedin-e Khalq, (PMOI/MEK), the very alternative that Western policymakers have too often claimed does not exist.
As an articulate, educated, forward-looking Iranian committed to democratic values and national dignity, Vahid possessed the intellect of a scholar, the courage of a freedom fighter, and the moral authority of a statesman. He embodied the rare convergence of brilliance and political acumen that the future leadership of a free Iran will require.

An accomplished engineer and educator, he possessed qualities that any nation would cherish in its leaders: intellectual rigor, a masterful command of expression, quiet yet unmistakable self-confidence, and an unyielding commitment to justice. Even from death row, he faced his fate with remarkable composure, speaking with precision and conviction. His words cut through the darkness—exposing both the brutality of the ruling regime and the permissive international environment in which such brutality has been allowed to persist.

His execution is not an aberration. It is the deliberate act of a system that governs through fear—and of men who have calculated, time and again, that they can commit such crimes at an acceptable cost.

During the many years I have had the honor of being part of the Iranian Resistance, I have witnessed the loss of hundreds of colleagues—men and women who gave their lives to refresh the tree of liberty with their sacred blood. Time, as it inevitably does, has softened the sharpest edges of that grief.

But Vahid’s loss defies that pattern. It does not recede. It does not settle into memory. It remains immediate, unresolved—an absence that continues to press upon the present.

Not a day passes that I do not think of him. Not a day that I do not mourn what was taken—not only from those who knew him, but from an entire nation deprived of one of its most promising sons. I regret deeply that I never had the chance to embrace him. He was singular, irreplaceable—truly one of a kind—and I can only say that I stand humbled, and in awe, before the example he set.

He proved the truth of his words in the most ultimate way possible—by offering the most precious gift a human being possesses: his own life. In his face, in his eyes, in his words, there was not an iota of fear, not a trace of regret, only clarity of purpose. One could only sense in him an urgency to convey his message before it was too late. It was as though he knew that his life belonged to something greater than himself—that his voice would endure beyond him, reaching thousands upon thousands of Iranians, especially among his own generation, long after his execution at the hands of the regime’s henchmen.

And here, responsibility must be named without qualification.

Those who carried out his execution bear direct and unforgivable guilt. Those who ordered it bear full command responsibility for a calculated act of political murder. They did not merely take a life—they extinguished a future, silenced a voice of conscience, and robbed a nation of one of its finest sons.

But such crimes do not occur in a vacuum. They unfold in a political context shaped over years—one in which too often, through inaction, accommodation, and at times outright complicity, the costs imposed on this regime have fallen short of the gravity of its crimes.
Iran did not lose merely a courageous voice; it lost a profound promise. A vital light within the democratic alternative was extinguished. And the world lost an opportunity it did not fully recognize.

I will never forget. And I will not forgive—until those who carried out this crime, and those who ordered it, are brought to the harshest justice they deserve, and until responsibility at every level is fully and unmistakably accounted for.

To Vahid, I say:
Rest in honor, my brother. You inspire me. You have lit a fire within me—to do more, to stand firmer, to be more resolute—so that this regime is brought to an end one day, one hour sooner, and no more of Iran’s human treasures are taken from us.

This is my promise to you.
And I await the day when I will finally embrace you in the hereafter—and ask how, in such a short life on this earth, you came to embody so much strength, so much clarity, and so much courage. I will wait, with gratitude and wonder, to hear your answer.
Until then, your light endures—and your voice will not be silenced. 🌹

[IAC New York @IAC_NY]

#FIFA cannot pretend it doesn’t know what is happening. Iranian athletes have been threatened, silenced, punished & executed for peaceful expression a reality documented by major human‑rights organizations and widely reported by international media.
No match should proceed under a system that weaponizes sport against its own people.
Suspend the game. Protect the athletes. Enforce your own statutes.

The Iranian regime’s embassies are NOT #diplomatic missions — they are global headquarters for sanctions evasion, espionage & terror.
Diplomatic pouches smuggle drone parts, cash & explosives. #IRGC & MOIS “diplomats” run the networks.
Enough.
Cose every Iranian regime embassy and end the Whac-A-Mole game.

@MarioNawfal Hi Mario, this is also from the Iran of the "good old days": a torture survivor still carrying the scars 50 years later. Back then, the dictator wore a suit and crown; now, he wears a turban.

[Kazem Kazerounian @kazemkaz]

Article highlights a hard truth: no movement stand for democracy while tolerating repression, censorship, and torture. Glorifying SAVAK undermines the Iranian's struggle for freedom/human rights. Iran deserves neither the current dictatorship nor a return to authoritarian rule.
