Majid Kavousifar was an Iranian civilian who, with his nephew Hossein Kavousifar, killed Judge Masoud Ahmadi Moghaddasi in August 2005. Masoud Ahmadi Moghaddasi was one of several judges of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Court who sentenced more than 2800 to 3800 political prisoners to execution in the 1988 executions of Iranian political prisoners. The mass executions were largely thought to be a political purge with Operation Mersad preceding the executions.

Kavousifar and his nephew, Hossein Kavousifar, were hanged in public in August 2007 in a Tehran square. Hossein Kavousifar looked distressed as he awaited his execution, but his uncle gestured to him and smiled in an attempt to reassure him. Majid Kavousifar showed no remorse to Iranian police officers in his last words, telling them, "I reached the point at which I decided to eradicate any injustice." According to Tehran's public prosecutor, the two were also convicted of armed robbery.

After the execution, Kavousifar became a symbol of the fight against tyranny in Iran. Photos of his execution went viral in the late 2010s with fictional stories like "a Christian got executed in a Muslim country" or "a guy who stole from banks and gave it to poor people."

He did a good thing. He fulfilled his mission on earth. The painful part is autistic trolls on 4chan likely used the pictures for memes. They look very familiar.
