Incredible photo showing Iranian prisoner grinning moments before he was executed resurfaces after two judges shot dead
A picture of a guy grinning just before being put to death has resurfaced, capturing the amazing last moments of his life.
Iranian Majid Kavousifar, 28, is photographed smiling remarkably just before he was hanged in August 2007 while wearing a noose around his neck.
In August 2005, he and his nephew Hossein were found guilty of killing Judge Masoud Ahmadi Moghaddasi.
According to sources, Majid is seen in the pictures smiling and waving his hand at what appears to be his nephew.
As he is gently lifted into the air to be suffocated to death in central Tehran, he still holds up his hand in that position.
According to police reports, he said to them, “I reached the point at which I decided to eradicate any injustice.”

Majid does appear more composed in one image of the terrifying incident as his executioners tighten the rope around his neck.
A young girl wearing a pink tracksuit is also shown in the surfacing moments, expressionless as she watches Majid be slaughtered in front of her.
Majid shot and killed Judge Masoud Ahmadi Moghaddasi in August 2005 while riding a motorcycle.
Majid fled Iran after the assassination and sought refugee status from the US embassy in the United Arab Emirates.
He was extradited back to Iran when the embassy turned him over to the authorities.
Majid and Hossein’s executions were the first public executions to take place in Tehran in five years at the time.
A number of judges from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Court, including Judge Masoud, are accused of carrying out the 1988 mass execution of political dissidents.
TWO JUDGES KILLED
This comes after an attacker killed two seasoned Iranian Supreme Court judges yesterday before killing himself.
A “planned assassination” in Tehran resulted in the shooting deaths of Judge Ali Razini, 71, and Judge Mohammad Moghiseh, 68.
According to reports, the incident is being investigated as a terrorist act.
The two individuals had a reputation for working on high-profile cases involving “terrorism, espionage, and crimes against national security.”
According to the judiciary’s Mizan Online website: “A shooter broke into the Supreme Court this morning with the intention of killing two courageous and seasoned judges.
“The two judges were martyred in the act.”
Although Mizan stated that the attacker was not connected to any Supreme Court cases, the reason for the shock killing was not immediately apparent.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian called for an investigation into the shock shooting, but no other information regarding the attacker’s identify was made public.
Pezeshkian continued: “I strongly urge the security andlawenforcement forces to take the necessary measures as soon as possible by examining the dimensions and angles of this reprehensible act and to identify its perpetrators.”
While employed in the nation, both of these men had been accused of miscounting.
Due to sanctions imposed by the US in 2019 and the EU in 2011, Moghisseh has a troubled history with the West.
He has “overseen countless unfair trials, during which charges went unsubstantiated and evidence was disregarded,” according to the US Department of the Treasury.
Iran’s executions
by Senior Reporter Emma Parry
The “unprecedented numbers” of executions occurring in Iran have been exclusively covered by THE Sun.
Executions are reportedly occurring every few hours as the “paranoid” leadership retaliates after losing battles against its Israeli agents.
According to shocking evidence compiled by The Sun, including official statistics and letters from death row inmates, Iran’s skilled workforce is accountable for more than three-quarters of all executions worldwide.
At least 12 people were hung in prisons nationwide on New Year’s Day alone.
Women, children, and political prisoners are among the dismal toll; they are frequently given death sentences without any consideration for due process or a fair trial.
According to Behzad Naziri, a former regime political prisoner who escaped from one of Iran’s most infamous prisons, the “unprecedented surge” in executions is a “sign of the weakness of a regime on the verge of being overthrown,” as reported by The Sun.
“The record-breaking number of executions shows that the regime is indeed growing more paranoid,” said Naziri, a member of the NCRI’s foreign committee whose own sister was put to death.
In the face of mounting dissatisfaction and calls for regime change, Khamenei is making a last-ditch effort to quell any dissent and hold onto power.
“We must remember that this administration has maintained its hold on power through terrorism and belligerence overseas, mostly through its proxies, and repression and executions at home.
“Holding the world record for the most executions per capita is not a sign of strength; rather, it shows that despite its violent actions, it has failed to put an end to dissent.
Therefore, as with other tyrants, the extraordinary increase in executions indicates that this dictatorship is nearing the end of its life and sees no future in maintaining its hold on power in the face of mounting opposition.
“The inhumane murder of its populace under any pretext is only a sign of the weakness of a regime on the verge of being overthrown.”
Thirty-four of the 1,000 people executed in 2024 were women, and seven of them were younger than eighteen when they committed their crimes.
Razini has previously been the target of murder attempts and held a number of significant posts in Iran’s court.
He escaped an assassination attempt in 1998 when a bomb was placed on his car.
Razini had been charged with serving as a judge on the notorious Death Commission committee.
Overseeing the tragic prosecution and execution of thousands of political prisoners in 1988 was the commission’s responsibility.
