Sadegh Khalkhali ()( July 27, 1926 – November 26, 2003 ) was a hardline Shia cleric of the Islamic Republic of Iran who is said to have " brought to his job as Chief Justice of the revolutionary courts a relish for summary execution " that earned him a reputation as Iran's " hanging judge ".

pleas for clemency poured in from all over the world and it was said that Khalkhali was told by telephone to stay the execution.

Khalkhali replied that he would go and see what was happening.

" According an interview by Elaine Sciolino of Shiraz-based Ayatollah Majdeddin Mahallati, Khalkhali came to Persepolis with " a band of thugs " and gave an angry speech demanding that " the faithful torch the silk-lined tent city and the grandstand that the Shah had built ," but was driven off by stone-throwing local residents.
