Iran’s judiciary says two members of a cell affiliated with ISIS were hanged on Tuesday early morning on charges of “armed uprising against the system.”

According to Mizan News Agency, affiliated with Iran’s judiciary, Mohi al-Din Abdollahi and Hossein Palani have been identified as members of a cell that was formed after the collapse of ISIS’s structure in Iraq and Syria and, after settling in the border hills of Bamo on the Iran–Iraq border strip, was recruiting forces and procuring equipment for infiltration and carrying out operations in Iran.

As written by Mizan, after holding hearing sessions, obtaining the defendants’ statements and those of their lawyers, the court, based on the reports of law-enforcement officers and the documents in the case file, sentenced the two defendants to death for the charge of “baghy” (armed rebellion), and the Supreme Court upheld the verdict. The location where the sentence would be carried out was not announced.

There is no independent possibility to verify the allegations or the course of the trial. Security courts in Iran’s judiciary are held behind closed doors, and human rights organizations have repeatedly expressed concern about defendants in these cases having access to an independent lawyer and about rulings relying on reports from intelligence bodies.
