Habib Farajollah Chaab (Persian: حبیب فرجالله چعب; Arabic: حبيب فرجلله شاب), known as Habib Osayved (Persian: حبیب اسیود; 1 July 1973[1][2] – 6 May 2023), was an Iranian Arab political activist with Swedish citizenship, founder and leader of Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz.[3][4][5][6] In October 2020, having lived in exile in Sweden for 14 years,[7] he visited Turkey where he was abducted and smuggled to Iran.[8][9] Turkish security sources state that Iranian intelligence was behind Chaab's kidnapping.[10]
Chaab was executed by hanging in Iran, on 6 May 2023, after being accused of masterminding a 2018 attack on a military parade that killed 25 people. He was 49.[11] The European Union afterwards strongly verbally condemned the execution and reiterated its strong opposition to the application of the death penalty in all circumstances.
