What FACTLY found

The individual in this photograph is Majid Kavousifar from Iran. He was publicly executed in central Tehran in 2007 for the murder of a judge. Numerous accounts have mentioned that the girl in the viral photo was present during the execution. However, there is no credible evidence confirming that she is his daughter.
