Majid Kavousifar
Majid Kavousifar (Persian: مجید کاووسیفر) was an Iranian civilian who with his nephew (Hossein Kavousifar) killed judge Masoud Ahmadi Moghaddasi in August 2005.
Escape
After murdering Moghaddasi, Kavousifar escaped from Iran to United Arab Emirates and went to the United States embassy to apply for refugee but the embassy surrendered him to UAE police department and then the UAE returned him to Iran.
Execution
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."
