Political Prisoners Abolhassan Montazer and Vahid Bani-Amerian Executed

HRANA – The judiciary’s media center announced that at dawn today, Saturday, April 4, the death sentences of Abolhassan Montazer and Vahid Bani-Amerian, political prisoners held in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj, were carried out.

According to Mizan, the judiciary’s media center, the sentences were carried out this morning, Saturday, April 4, after being upheld by the Supreme Court. On Sunday evening last week, Vahid Bani-Amerian and Abolhassan Montazer had been transferred to solitary confinement in Unit One of Ghezel Hesar Prison.

The death sentences of Bani-Amerian and Montazer, along with four others, had previously been issued on the charge of armed rebellion (baghi) through membership in anti-government groups. In July of last year, the Supreme Court overturned this ruling and referred their case to a parallel branch.

In November, 2025, they were retried in Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari. Ultimately, on Sunday, December 7, 2025, the same branch reissued the death sentence for these political prisoners and formally notified their lawyers.

The two political prisoners were arrested by security forces in Tehran in December, 2023. They were held for a period in Evin Prison before later being transferred to Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj.

The judiciary further claimed regarding the actions of these political prisoners that: “Abolhassan Montazer, son of Seyed Jafar, was one of the main members of a team affiliated with the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK). Using financial resources, he arranged safe houses for the activities of members of this group and accommodated certain related individuals in these locations. According to the case file, these houses were used as sites for building launchers and improvised bombs, and the rent was paid through funds received in cryptocurrency.”

Continuing these allegations, Vahid Bani Amerian, son of Mohammad, was also identified as one of the members of this team. It was stated that: “He was arrested alongside Abolhassan Montazer while they were allegedly preparing to carry out an operation using a launcher, and four launcher devices were reportedly discovered in their possession.”

It was also claimed that: “After reestablishing contact with this group, he first engaged in propaganda activities and later took part in several operations against various locations.”

Montazer was reportedly among the political prisoners of the 1980s, and Vahid Bani-Amerian had also previously faced conviction and imprisonment because of his activities.

According to HRA’s annual report, in 2025, at least 2,488 citizens, including 63 women and 2 juvenile offenders, were executed. Of these, 13 executions were carried out in public. During the same period, 130 other individuals, including 10 women and 1 juvenile offender, were sentenced to death.

HRANA– In the last 24 hours, and as of April 3, 2026, at 17:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 206 attacks across 107 incidents in 13 provinces, resulting in at least one fatality. The large-scale attacks on the Bandar-e Charak pier, where dozens of passenger and cargo vessels were docked, left extensive damage. At the same time, the attack on different sections of Shahid Beheshti University drew significant public attention.

According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day until the end of April 3, 2026 (Tehran time), at least one civilian was killed.

Aggregated data since the beginning of the conflict on February 28, 2026, based on incidents recorded in the incident tab and using minimum values for figures marked “more than”:

Note on Official Statements: Alongside HRANA’s independent reporting, several official aggregated statistics were also recorded today from state media, including:

The Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education announced the latest details on the number of fatalities, injuries, and the extent of damage to the country’s healthcare infrastructure up to the thirty-fifth day of the war. According to the report:


“The provinces of Tehran and Hormozgan account for the highest number of deaths. Among the injured, 4,610 were women, 1,881 were children under the age of 18, and 68 were children under the age of 2. In the treatment sector, 31,076 individuals have been treated and discharged, while 476 patients remain hospitalized and are currently undergoing treatment and discharge procedures. So far, 1,153 surgeries have been performed on the injured. The national health team, consisting of medical and emergency personnel, has also sustained 116 injuries, and 24 healthcare defenders on the front lines of the crisis response have been killed. In addition, 251 women, 216 children under 18, and 17 children under 5 have been killed. On the other hand, damage to healthcare infrastructure has also been reported. According to these figures, 54 emergency bases, 45 treatment center units, and 216 health centers have been damaged.

He added that up to today, 20,399 commercial units, hundreds of critical centers, and thousands of homes that are no longer places of peace, along with 290 medical and healthcare centers, 600 schools, and 17 Red Crescent centers, have been destroyed as a result of enemy attacks.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, wrote in a post on X that since March 1, this organization has confirmed more than 20 attacks on Iran’s healthcare system, resulting in the deaths of at least 9 people.

Since these figures are presented in aggregate form and cannot be precisely matched to specific incidents, they have not been included in the event-based calculations used in HRANA’s independent reporting section of this review. They are mentioned here solely as a record of official statements.

1. Overview of Incidents in the Last 24 Hours

In the last 24 hours, incidents were reported across multiple provinces, reflecting a geographically dispersed pattern of hostilities. In a large portion of the incidents, the method/type of attack has not yet been confirmed and has been recorded as “undetermined.” In cases where the attack type was identifiable, airstrikes and drone attacks were reported.

Preliminary analysis shows that Tehran Province ranks first among the provinces targeted in the attacks, accounting for 35% of the total. Khuzestan Province comes second with 14%, followed by Alborz Province in third place with 10%. The list is then followed, respectively, by Bushehr Province, Isfahan Province, and East Azerbaijan Province.

2. List of Objects Reported Hit

In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 31 distinct objects or facilities. These include a range of different types of targets. In some cases, damage caused by nearby strikes or secondary consequences of the attacks has also been reported.

Examples of targets recorded over the past 24 hours:

• Law Enforcement Command (Qom)

• Missile sites (Borazjan)

For a number of the listed targets, the exact nature of the target (civilian/military/dual-use) is still under review, and classifications may be revised as additional information becomes available.

Facilities Protected Under International Humanitarian Law:

Under international humanitarian law, medical facilities, educational institutions, humanitarian facilities, religious sites, and emergency service centers are among the many objects that maintain special protected status and are afforded special protection. In the past 24 hours, HRANA has preliminarily recorded the following cases:

• Tofiq Daru Pharmaceutical Company (Tehran)

• Eynali Recreational Area (Tabriz)

• Twelve civilian vessels and landing craft (Bandar-e Charak)

• Relief supply warehouse (Shiraz)

• Shahid Beheshti University (Tehran)

• Qareh Tapeh road tunnel (Mianeh)

• Bandar-e Charak pier (Bandar-e Charak)

• Poultry farm unit (Behbahan)

3. Civilian Casualties

In the past 24 hours, at least 1 civilian citizen has been killed. All classifications are preliminary and may be updated if new information becomes available.

4. Military Casualties

During the reporting period, one military force member was killed. Military casualties are generally reported in the context of attacks on Army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) bases. Where possible, organizational affiliation and operational context are being assessed; however, not all details have yet been independently verified.

In some incidents, individuals have been killed in the vicinity of military targets; however, their official status has not yet been definitively determined. These cases remain under review, and if reliable information indicating a different status becomes available, the classification may be revised accordingly.

It is believed that military casualties are significantly higher than the figures reported in these reports. However, due to the sensitive nature of military information and the limited access of human rights groups and media to locations where military forces are present, this section largely reflects reports of senior officers or military personnel who were present in urban areas.

5. Confirmed but Unspecified Casualties

Burials: Today, 2 burial cases resulting from attacks in previous days were recorded.

A Note on HRANA Methodology

Note that, in line with HRANA policy, this report reflects only incidents that occurred within the territorial borders of Iran.

The information contained in this report is compiled through HRANA’s established documentation network. Data is collected from a combination of field reports, local contacts, medical and emergency sources, civil society networks, and open source materials, including publicly available images, videos, and official statements where relevant. Each reported incident is logged and assessed through an internal review process before publication.

Given the evolving nature of hostilities, information is gathered on a rolling basis and reflects the status of documentation at the time of publication.

The figures presented in this report may not reflect the full scope of harm. Ongoing hostilities, damage to infrastructure, communication disruptions, restricted access to affected areas, and security risks for sources may limit the ability to document incidents comprehensively.

Delays in medical reporting, difficulties in confirming identities, and restricted access to certain provinces may result in temporary undercounting. As access improves or additional evidence emerges, casualty figures and incident classifications may be revised accordingly.

HRANA remains committed to transparency, methodological rigor, and the continual updating of its findings as new verified information becomes available.

Nasrin Sotoudeh Arrested by Security Agents

HRANA – Nasrin Sotoudeh, a lawyer and human rights activist, was arrested by security agents at her home last night and transferred to an undisclosed location.

Mehraveh Khandan, Ms. Sotoudeh’s daughter, announced in a post that her mother was arrested at her home on the evening of Wednesday, April 1. She also stated that electronic devices, including Ms. Sotoudeh’s laptop and mobile phones, as well as those of her husband, were confiscated.

Ms. Sotoudeh’s daughter added that her mother has not yet contacted the family, and the detaining authority remains unknown.

As of the time of this report, no information has been obtained regarding the reasons for her arrest or the charges brought against Nasrin Sotoudeh.

Nasrin Sotoudeh, a lawyer and human rights activist, has previously also faced arrest and conviction due to her activities.

Mandana Sotoudeh and Behzad Basiri, a Baha’i Couple Living in Shiraz, Arrested

HRANA – Behzad Basiri and Mandana Sotoudeh, a Baha’i couple residing in Shiraz, were arrested by security forces on Wednesday, April 1. At the same time, their home was searched by agents, and a number of their electronic devices were confiscated.

Based on information received by HRANA, on Wednesday, April 1, security forces raided the home of Behzad Basiri and Mandana Sotoudeh. During the search, the agents confiscated these citizens’ electronic devices. The officers first arrested Mr. Basiri, who was at home, and then proceeded to arrest Ms. Sotoudeh at her mother’s house. During the search of the home and the arrest of these citizens, the agents did not present a judicial warrant.

So far, no information has been obtained regarding the reasons for their arrest or the location where these Baha’i citizens are being held.

It is worth noting that Mahsa Sotoudeh, Mandana Sotoudeh’s sister, was also arrested by security forces in the city on Sunday, March 29. Her arrest was likewise accompanied by a house search and the confiscation of electronic devices, and no information has yet emerged about her fate.

Notably, over the past decade, the Baha’i community in Iran has been targeted by security and judicial actions more than any other religious minority. A review of the annual reports by the Statistics, Publications, and Works Center of the Human Rights Activists in Iran indicates that over the past year, an average of 62.41% of reports concerning religious minorities were related to violations of the civil rights of Baha’is.

The head of Tehran Province’s Emergency Center stated: “As of today, in the Ramadan war, 23 ambulances and nearly 10 operational support vehicles have been damaged. Eight have been completely destroyed, and two remain under the rubble because the scale of the strikes has prevented us from retrieving them.” He added: “Additionally, 56 of our brave colleagues have been injured, and one of our colleagues in western Tehran was killed while providing aid to war casualties when renewed attacks struck the scene.”

In a letter to the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF, Ali Akbari Sari, head of the Iranian Scientific Association of Public Health, claimed: “In the first 30 days of these ruthless attacks, 93,300 civilian units, including 600 schools, 300 healthcare service centers, and 17 Red Crescent centers across the country, have been destroyed or seriously damaged.”

The Ministry of Education, in a report on the consequences of the attacks, announced: “In the past 33 days of the imposed war, 237 innocent students and 56 educators have been killed in the enemy’s terrorist attacks.”

Death Sentence of Mansour Jamali Upheld by the Supreme Court

HRANA – The death sentence of Mansour Jamali, a political prisoner held in Choobindar Prison in Qazvin, has been upheld by Iran’s Supreme Court. He had previously been sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court of Qazvin on the charge of “enmity against God” (moharebeh). Recent days have shown a sharp increase in developments related to the sentencing and execution of political prisoners compared to the previous month.

A source familiar with the case, while confirming the news, told HRANA: “Recently, Mansour Jamali’s death sentence was upheld by the Supreme Court and was formally communicated to him in prison two days ago. This political prisoner had previously been sentenced to death by Branch One of the Revolutionary Court of Qazvin, presided over by Esmail Asadi, on the charge of ‘moharebeh through membership in the MEK organization.’”

According to information received by HRANA, the indictment in his case was referred to court after 15 months. During both his detention and the judicial proceedings, he was denied access to a lawyer of his own choosing.

Mansour Jamali, born in 1970 in Urmia, holds a high school diploma. He is the father of two children and has worked as a sports coach in various disciplines. Mr. Jamali was arrested in October 2023 in Buin Zahra County. He is currently being held in Choobindar Prison, Qazvin.

Mehrak Karimi-Pour Andalibi Arrested in Tehran

HRANA – Mehrak Karimi-Pour Andalibi, a resident of Tehran, was arrested by security forces on March 27, 2026 and transferred to Qarchak Women’s Prison.

Based on information received by HRANA, on Friday, March 27, this citizen was arrested at her private residence by security forces and subsequently transferred to Qarchak Women’s Prison.

As of the time of this report, no information has been obtained regarding the reasons for her arrest or the charges brought against her.

Mehrak Karimi-Pour Andalibi, a Tehran resident, has previously also experienced imprisonment due to her activities.

Political Prisoners Babak Alipour and Pouya Ghobadi Executed

HRANA – The Judiciary Media Center has announced the execution of death sentences against Babak Alipour and Pouya Ghobadi, two political prisoners held in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj, carried out at dawn today, Tuesday, March 31.

According to Mizan, the Judiciary Media Center, the executions were carried out this morning after the sentences had been upheld by the Supreme Court and the defendants’ appeals had been rejected.

The death sentences against Babak Alipour and Pouya Ghobadi, along with four others, had previously been issued on the charge of “baghi” (armed rebellion) through alleged membership in groups opposed to the state. In July of last year, the Supreme Court overturned this ruling and referred the case to a parallel branch for reconsideration.

In November 2025, they were retried in Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari. Ultimately, on December 7, 2025, the same branch reissued the death sentences for these political prisoners and formally notified their lawyers.

Regarding Babak Alipour, the Judiciary Media Center has claimed that he had been in contact via cyberspace with one of the “liaisons” of the MEK (People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran). It alleged that, “at this person’s request to carry out an armed operation, he traveled from Gilan to Tehran and fired a projectile weapon (launcher) at the building of one of the country’s institutions. Of the four launchers used, only two functioned.”

As for Pouya Ghobadi, the same institution claimed that he had also “participated in several terrorist actions under the direction of the MEK.” According to the report, Ghobadi “was in a safe house assembling parts of explosive packages.” It further alleged that he had been in contact with one of the group’s liaisons through Telegram and had intended to illegally cross the border in order to receive the training necessary for conducting operations in Tehran.

Babak Alipour was arrested by security forces in Tehran in autumn 2023. On February 23, 2024, Pouya Ghobadi was also arrested in Chaldoran County and transferred to Maku Prison.

These individuals were formally charged in May 2024 in Branch 5 of the Tehran Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office, and were later transferred in the summer of that year to Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj.

Yesterday, the death sentences of Akbar Daneshvar-Kar and Seyed Mohammad Taghavi-Sangdehi, other defendants in the same case, were also carried out.

According to HRA’s Annual Report, in 2025, at least 2,063 people were executed in Iran. Based on this report, executions increased by 119% compared to 2024.

The head of the Ministry of Education’s Information and Public Relations Center stated: “234 students were killed in the Zionist-American regime’s attack on our country. Of these, 128 were boys and 99 were girls. In addition, 5 were male preschool children and 2 were female preschool children. He further stated that 56 education staff members were killed in the attack, including 10 male staff, 39 female staff, as well as 5 retired men and 2 retired women.”

Mohajerani, the government spokesperson, said: “In the continuation of the recent war, 246 of the dead were women, 216 were under the age of 18, and 17 were under the age of 5 among our fellow citizens.”

Since these figures are presented in aggregate form and cannot be accurately matched to specific incidents, they have not been included in the event-based calculations used in HRANA’s independent reporting section of this review. They are mentioned here solely as a record of official statements.

1. Overview of Incidents in the Last 24 Hours

In the last 24 hours, incidents were reported across multiple provinces, reflecting a geographically dispersed pattern of hostilities. In a large portion of the incidents, the method/type of attack has not yet been confirmed and has been recorded as “undetermined.” In cases where the attack type was identifiable, airstrikes and drone attacks were reported.

Preliminary analysis shows that Tehran Province, accounting for 47% of all recorded attacks, ranks at the top of the list of provinces that have come under attack. Khuzestan Province, with a significant 17% share, ranks second, while Alborz Province, with a 10% share, comes third. The list is followed respectively by Qom, Hormozgan, Fars, and East Azerbaijan provinces.

2. List of Objects Reported Hit

In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 33 distinct objects or facilities. These include a range of different types of targets. In some cases, damage caused by nearby strikes or secondary consequences of the attacks has also been reported.

Examples of targets recorded over the past 24 hours:

• Basij base (Dehgolan)

• Military site in Qareh Bolagh village (Takab)

• IRGC command center (Pishva)

• Ammunition depot (Tehran)

• Aerospace Research Institute (Tehran)

For a number of the listed targets, the exact nature of the target (civilian/military/dual-use) is still under review, and classifications may be revised as additional information becomes available.

Facilities Protected Under International Humanitarian Law:

Under international humanitarian law, medical facilities, educational institutions, humanitarian facilities, religious sites, and emergency service centers are among the many objects that maintain special protected status and are afforded special protection. In the past 24 hours, HRANA has preliminarily recorded the following cases:

• Dreams Amusement Park (Isfahan)

• Charity center for orphaned children (Fardis)

• Damage to more than 200 residential and commercial units (Sanandaj)

• Several residential units (Bandar Abbas)

• A residential home (Zanjan)

3. Civilian Casualties

In the past 24 hours, at least six civilian citizens have been killed and 21 civilians injured. All classifications remain preliminary and may be updated as new information becomes available.

4. Military Casualties

Within the timeframe covered by this report, no reports of military casualties were received. Military casualties are generally reported in the context of attacks on Army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) bases. Where possible, organizational affiliation and operational context are being assessed; however, not all details have yet been independently verified.

In some incidents, individuals have been killed in the vicinity of military targets; however, their official status has not yet been definitively determined. These cases remain under review, and if reliable information indicating a different status becomes available, the classification may be revised accordingly.

It is believed that military casualties are significantly higher than the figures reported in these reports. However, due to the sensitive nature of military information and the limited access of human rights groups and media to locations where military forces are present, this section largely reflects reports of senior officers or military personnel who were present in urban areas.

5. Confirmed but Unspecified Casualties

Today, 68 burial cases linked to attacks from previous days were recorded.

A Note on HRANA Methodology

Note that, in line with HRANA policy, this report reflects only incidents that occurred within the territorial borders of Iran.

The information contained in this report is compiled through HRANA’s established documentation network. Data is collected from a combination of field reports, local contacts, medical and emergency sources, civil society networks, and open source materials, including publicly available images, videos, and official statements where relevant. Each reported incident is logged and assessed through an internal review process before publication.

Given the evolving nature of hostilities, information is gathered on a rolling basis and reflects the status of documentation at the time of publication.

The figures presented in this report may not reflect the full scope of harm. Ongoing hostilities, damage to infrastructure, communication disruptions, restricted access to affected areas, and security risks for sources may limit the ability to document incidents comprehensively.

Delays in medical reporting, difficulties in confirming identities, and restricted access to certain provinces may result in temporary undercounting. As access improves or additional evidence emerges, casualty figures and incident classifications may be revised accordingly.

HRANA remains committed to transparency, methodological rigor, and the continual updating of its findings as new verified information becomes available.
