Kazem Sami was a prominent Iranian psychiatrist and politician who played a significant role in the country's early post-revolutionary governance. He served as the first Minister of Health following the 1979 revolution and was elected as a representative for Tehran in the first Parliament. He was also a co-founder of the Revolutionary Movement of the People of Iran (JAMA). On November 25, 1988 (4 Azar 1367), Dr. Sami was brutally assassinated in his private clinic in Tehran. While he was waiting to see his final patient of the day, he was attacked and killed by multiple knife strikes. This assassination is historically recognized as one of the early instances of the "Chain Murders," a series of targeted political killings of dissidents and intellectuals in Iran.

دکتر کاظم سامی روانپزشک و سیاستمدار برجسته‌ای بود که به عنوان نخستین وزیر بهداشت پس از انقلاب ۱۳۵۷ و نماینده اولین دوره مجلس شورای اسلامی فعالیت می‌کرد. او همچنین از بنیانگذاران جنبش انقلابی مردم ایران (جاما) بود و نقش موثری در فضای سیاسی و اجتماعی آن دوران داشت. در تاریخ ۴ آذر ۱۳۶۷، دکتر سامی در مطب خود در تهران به شکلی بی‌رحمانه ترور شد. او در حالی که منتظر ویزیت آخرین بیمار خود بود، با ضربات ممتد کارد مورد حمله قرار گرفت و جان باخت. این جنایت به عنوان یکی از نخستین موارد در سلسله قتل‌های سیاسی موسوم به «قتل‌های زنجیره‌ای» در ایران شناخته می‌شود که در آن چهره‌های دگراندیش و منتقد هدف قرار گرفتند.
