The execution was conducted following the final ruling issued by Iran’s Supreme Court.
According to the investigation, on September 5, 2022, the convict — described by authorities as a known thug in Marivan — attempted to abduct and assault a 36-year-old woman from the village of Cheshmider, in the county of Sarvabad. During the incident, Shalir Rasouli fell from the second floor of a building while trying to escape and succumbed to her injuries three days later at a hospital in Sanandaj.
Following his arrest, the accused was charged with multiple counts including premeditated murder, three counts of kidnapping, assault with a knife, and public intimidation.
The First Criminal Court of Kurdistan Province convicted him of intentional homicide under the Islamic Penal Code, sentencing him to qisas (retribution-in-kind for murder), with additional sentences for the other charges.
After confirmation by the Supreme Court, the death sentence was officially enforced on Tuesday morning.
