Why is this guy considered a ‘martyr?’
He killed a tyrant and was executed for it by the State.
Majid Kavosifar and his uncle, Hossein Kavosifar, were both hanged for killing Moghadas. They had collaborated and confessed to committing the act. Moghadas was Tehran's assistant chief prosecutor, responsible for signing countless death sentences. Moghadas's role was that of a ruthless cleric who bypassed judicial procedures to ensure the swift death of the Iranian regime's opponents.
I suppose because he had the b#lls to kill one of the most corrupt judges in Iran. To quote another, one of the “most repressive judges in the Islamic Republic. Judge Moghaddas who was assassinated by Kavousifar and his nephew, was responsible for handing out long sentences to many political activists. Moghaddas sometimes even boasted that he sentenced the accused without even reading their files”
So, a martyr to the cause of those fighting against the regime.
martyr: One who makes great sacrifices or suffers much in order to further a belief, cause, or principle.
They made a small but defiant stand against Iran’s barbarously oppressive regime by killing someone that needed killing, and they paid for it with their lives and went down smiling.
