According to Iranian media, the Supreme Court on Sunday confirmed the death sentence of Habib Farajullah Chab, a Swedish citizen of Iranian origin.
According to Reuters, Farajullah Chab was put on trial in 2022 for his involvement in the 2018 attack on Iran’s annual military parade four years ago that killed 25 people.
On the other hand, according to AFP, Habib Farajullah Chab, who was sentenced to death, disappeared from the Turkish airport in 2020, after which the issue of the Iranian government’s confirmation of this sentence came to light.
According to Iran’s judicial website Meezan Online: Habib Farajullah Chab’s death sentence has been upheld for creating, managing and leading a rebel group called Hirakat al-Nadal.
Habib Farajullah has also been accused of planning and executing several terrorist attacks in Iran’s Khuzestan province.
Sweden has condemned the Iranian Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Habib Farajullah’s death sentence.

He is also accused of being involved in several other bomb blasts.
Habib Chab has been held in Iran since October 2020 and was tried in Tehran. Iran does not recognize dual citizenship.
Even before Habib Chab, the Iranian government has executed several alleged members of Harakat al-Nadal, which it calls a ‘terrorist group’.
Last week, a court in Ahvaz sentenced six others to death for the terrorist attacks.
