Iran Executes Two Members of Mujahideen-e-Khalq Group
Iran executed two members of the banned Mujahideen-e-Khalq group for attacking civilian infrastructure with homemade projectiles, the judiciary news outlet Mizan said on Sunday. Mehdi Hassani and Behrouz Ehsani-Eslamloo, identified as "operational elements" of the MEK, were sentenced to death in September 2024 - a verdict upheld by the Supreme Court, which denied their request for a retrial, Mizan said. "The terrorists, in coordination with MEK leaders, had 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," the report said. The defendants were indicted with destroying public property and "membership in a terrorist organization with the aim of disrupting national security." The MEK, known in English as People's Mujahideen Organization of Iran, was a powerful leftist-militant group that staged bombing campaigns against the shah's government and US targets in the 1970s but ultimately fell out with the other factions of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Since then, the MEK has opposed Iran and its leadership in exile has been Paris-based. The group was listed as a terrorist organization by the US and the European Union until 2012.

Shark injures child in French Polynesia, fire department says
A shark bit and injured a seven-year-old child swimming in waters of French Polynesia, the fire department told AFP on Saturday. About 10 children were playing and jumping on Friday in Taiohae Bay on Nuka Hiva, the main island in the Marquesas archipelago, when a shark bit one of them on the arm and leg. 'I'm 35 years old and this is the first time I've seen this. These were long and deep wounds,' said a firefighter who helped the child with serious bite wounds. 'It's probably related to the fish carcasses that fishermen throw in this area. There are many sharks, such as blacktips, hammerheads, and lemon sharks,' the firefighter added, confirming reports by local TV channel TNTV reported. The child was taken to the island's small hospital before being airlifted to the French Polynesia hospital center in Tahiti, around 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) from Nuku Hiva. Shark attacks are rare in French Polynesia and most commonly target underwater fishermen or people engaging in shark feeding, a prohibited activity.

Iran executes two members of banned group for targeting infrastructure
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. Mehdi Hassani and Behrouz Ehsani-Eslamloo, 'operational elements' of the MEK, were sentenced to death in a verdict upheld by the Supreme Court, Mizan said. '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. The defendants were indicted with 'moharebeh,' an Islamic term meaning waging war against God, destroying public property and 'membership in a terrorist organization with the aim of disrupting national security.' Semi-official Mehr news agency reported on Sunday that Ehsani-Eslamloo had been arrested in 2022 following an explosion at the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology claimed by the MEK. The MEK, known in English as People's Mujahideen Organization of Iran, was a powerful group that staged bombing campaigns against the shah's government and US targets in the 1970s but ultimately fell out with the other factions of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Since then, the MEK has opposed the Islamic Republic and its leadership in exile has been Paris-based. The group was listed as a terrorist organization by the US and the European Union until 2012.
