Jalaleddin Farsi

Jalaleddin Farsi

Jaleleddin Farsi (جلال‌الدین فارسی in Persian), born as Hekmatollah Baaraan-Cheshmeh(حکمت الله باران چشمه in Persian), was the presidential candidate for the Islamic Republic Party in the first presidential election in Iran. He was chosen because Ayatollah Khomeini had personally forbidden the party to run Mohammad Beheshti, a cleric, for president. Farsi was later banned to run by the order of Ayatollah Khomeini, because he was not born in Iran (he was claimed to have been born in Afghanistan), so may have not run for presidency by law.

He killed a person named Mohammad Reza Rezakhani in Taleghan, Donbelid (A village close to Tehran) on Sep. 25th 1992. At the first trial, he was charged of semi-voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to pay the penalty of life price. He complained that his sentence was injustice and that he was innocent. During his second trial, he was, this time, charged of voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to death. Again, because of complaining, it was agreed that his case was to be viewed once more. As a final decision, the file was sent to another court instead of the Supreme Court (when if followed by the law, should have been sent to the Supreme Court). He was then sentenced to involuntary manslaughter and had to pay the penalty of life price.
