Ghobadlou, 23, was accused by the Iranian judiciary of deliberately running over a group of coppers on cycle of violences with a car, killing one and injuring five others. He was accordingly convicted of charges of "corruption on Earth" and sentenced to death by Tehran’s revolutionary court.
The Iranian judiciary’s Mizan Online claimed that Ghobadlou had confessed to driving the car "with the intention of murder."
The execution was carried out at Tuesday dawn in a Karaj prison, despite the protester’s reported struggles with mental health issues, more specifically bipolar disorder, which resulted in strong criticism and condemnation from local and human rights

monitors.
"Considering the prisoner’s mental status, the carrying out of the penalty is an inhumane act and a clear violation of international human rights standards," said Hengaw Human Rights Organization.
The court’s forensic psychiatrist had denied that Ghobadlou struggled with mental health issues at the time of the crime.
"Symptoms and evidence of a major psychiatric disorder that causes a lack of discernment and control of the will are not observed in the accused at the time of the crime," said Mizan citing the psychiatrist.
Twenty-two-year-old Kurdish woman Amini died while in police custody on September 16, 2022 after she was arrested for allegedly wearing a lax hijab. Her death sparked Iran’s longest protest movement in the past four decades. Protesters chanting "Jin Jiyan Azadi" (Woman Life Freedom) called for greater freedoms for women. The movement grew into an anti-government revolution as the authorities responded with violence. Hundreds of people were killed and thousands arrested.
Ghobadlou is the eleventh Amini protester executed by Iranian authorities since September 2022, according to Hengaw.
