Habib Chaab was executed by hanging in Iran on May 6 2023, after being accused of masterminding a 2018 attack on a military parade that killed 25.
After 14 years in exile in Sweden, he visited Turkey in October 2020, where he was kidnapped and smuggled to Iran.
According to Turkish security sources, Iranian intelligence was behind Chaab’s kidnapping.

The judiciary of Iran accused the security agencies of Sweden, Israel, and regional countries of supporting Chaab and his group, which it claimed had killed or injured 450 Iranians over several years, in a statement announcing the execution.
Tobias Billstrom, Sweden’s Foreign Minister, expressed “dismay” at Chaab’s execution, saying Sweden had pleaded with Iran not to carry it out.
“The death penalty is an inhuman and irreversible punishment and Sweden, together with the rest of the EU, condemns its application under all circumstances,” he said.
