Iran executed two men on Monday for alleged arson at a Tehran mosque during January protests, the Iranian judicial outlet Mizan news agency reported. The men were identified as Mehrdad Mohammadinia and Ashkan Maleki. Mizan said the pair had been part of a group of demonstrators who targeted the Jafari Mosque in the capital's Gisha neighborhood.
The executions come amid ongoing scrutiny of Iran's judicial process. Demonstrators gathered in Washington, DC, on May 16, 2026, to support the Iranian people and condemn the execution of political prisoners. The Jafari Mosque is located in Tehran's Gisha neighborhood.
Mizan news agency is the judicial outlet that reported the executions and the allegations against the two men.
