Masoud Ahmadi Moghaddasi
Judge Masoud Ahmadi Moghaddasi was an Iranian judge, and deputy to Saeed Mortazavi. He was assassinated by a gunman named Majid Kavousifar on Tehran's Ahmad Ghasir Avenue while commuting home from work.
Moghadasi had ruled in the case of Akbar Ganji which led to Ganji's imprisonment, and was also involved in the case of Zahra Kazemi. His duties as a vice prosecutor meant that he had many potential enemies in the criminal underworld.
Moghadasi also was in charge of the trial of Iranian famous blogger Mojtaba Saminejad and his friends who were involved in that case.
