Erfan Esfandiari, 18, (L) and Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi, 23, (R) were killed by the Iranian regime for helping their countrymen.

On Sunday, Iran’s brutal dictatorship executed two more young men. Their “crime”? Helping protesters flee the menacing and violent security forces during demonstrations early in 2026.

Erfan Esfandiari, 18, and Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi, a 23-year-old Afghan refugee, sheltered demonstrators from government bullets and even offered to let them come into their homes to escape the brutality.

According to The New York Post, “The pair are among the 59 men arrested together during the January protests in Shahid Alikhani Square in Isfahan, during which Iranian officials say four security force members were killed.”

President Trump shared a message on Truth Social from Iranian activist and journalist Masih Alinejad, who wrote, “While the world watches the war, the Islamic Republic of Iran hanged a 19-year-old boy today.”

“His name is Erfan Esfandiari and he was his parents’ only child.”

“He did not kill anyone. He did not carry a weapon. His crime, according to the Islamic Republic, was opening a door. Sheltering protesters who were running from security forces. That was enough to send him to the gallows.”

“Erfan was one of 12 young men in the Alikhani Square case in Isfahan, arrested during the January 2026 uprising. Yesterday, all 12 were moved to quarantine. Today, the Islamic Republic hanged him.”

“This is a government that is so terrified of a generation that refuses to be silent, that it executes teenagers for the act of compassion.”

“Say his name. Because the regime is already trying to erase him. Because his mother and father are left with nothing, not even the right to grieve loudly.”

Alinejad wrote of Mohammadi, “This broke my heart.”

“The Islamic Republic of Iran hanged Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi this morning, a 23-year-old Afghan refugee who had fled to Iran seeking safety, and whose only crime was opening his door to let terrified protesters in as they ran from security forces.”

“He was arrested, thrown into a show trial alongside 58 others. All proceedings were compressed into three one-hour sessions. Lawyers were denied access to case files. Confessions were extracted under torture. The Supreme Court confirmed the sentences in a rush. This morning, they hanged him.”

“He was a refugee. He came to Iran because Taliban ruined, his life, Iran was supposed to be his refuge. Instead, the Islamic Republic executed him for the most human thing a person can do; open a door for someone who is afraid.
I am his voice. Please say his nam, his family is under pressure to keep quiet.”
