Hossein Khezri (Persian حسین خضری) was an Iranian Kurdish activist who was sentenced to death by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Court in 2009. The charge was "waging war against God" through membership in the Party of Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK).[1] He was arrested in Kermanshah in 2008 and was held at the prison of Urmia.

He was executed on 15 January 2011 in Oroumieh, West Azarbaijan, Iran. His family as well as his lawyer were not informed of his execution until after the sentence was carried out.[2]
