Mostafavi, from Bam in Kerman province, was executed after the Supreme Court upheld a death sentence handed down by a Revolutionary Court in Kerman.

The permit gives Parsa temporary status for one year. After that, he said, he will have to apply again, with the possibility of eventually seeking permanent residency.
