The report didn’t say whether the defendants’ actions took place during last month’s war with Israel, during which Tehran accused opposition groups like MEK of providing support to Israel.<\/p>\n
Iran executed two members of the outlawed Mujahideen-e-Khalq opposition group for targeting civilian infrastructure with homemade projectiles, the judiciary news outlet Mizan reported on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Mehdi Hassani and Behrouz Ehsani-Eslamloo, “operational elements” of the MEK, were sentenced to death in a verdict upheld by the Supreme Court<\/a>, Mizan said.<\/p>\n “The terrorists, in coordination with MEK leaders, had set up a team house in Tehran, where they built launchers and hand-held mortars in line with the group’s goals, fired projectiles heedlessly at citizens, homes, service and administrative facilities, educational and charity centers, and also carried out propaganda and information-gathering activities in support of the MEK,” the report said.<\/p>\n The defendants were indicted with “moharebeh,” an Islamic term meaning waging war against God, destroying public property, and “membership in a terrorist organization<\/a> with the aim of disrupting national security.”<\/p>\n
