History of Violence: Murder of Ahmad Dehghan
by fozolie
06-Jun-2010
 

On 16th of Iranian month Khordad 1329 Ahmad Dehghan was assassinated in his office by a young man called Hassan Jafari whose motive remained a mystery. A. Dehghan was anti-communist newspaper with ties to the Court who had been elected to the parliament from Khalkhal the previous year. The assassin was an oil company employee in Abadan on leave in Tehran. He remained cool throughout his arrest and trial without divulging the reason for his act.  Speculation was rife about Tudeh Party involvement and about his coolness when sentenced to death but it all remained a mystery till the publication of Dr. Fereydon Keshavarz Memoires "I Accuse" (the central committee of the Tudeh Party).

Keshavarz while on the run in Moscow relates the story of Iranian police officer also on the run, called Ghobadi who was bitter about Tudeh leaders namely Kianouri, his wife Maryam Firouz and Kambaksh. Ghobadi had finally woken up to the reality of being used by the leaders of Tudeh and their crimes. Ghobadi was so ridden by the guilt of deceiving Jafari to the moment the young assassin was hanged by promising escape so that the young assassin kept silent about Tudeh that he wished nothing but to be returned to Iran to be executed.  Ghobadi confirms that Dehghan's assassin Jafari was a Tudeh operative and Maryam Kianouri instructed him the day after Jafari's arrest to contact Jafari in prison and instruct the young assassin to divulge nothing while the party arranged for his escape.  Kianouri also arranges to place a Tudeh Lawyer to assist Jafari's defence attorney whose main mission was to keep Jafari's morals high so that he does not divulge any links to Tudeh.  Ghobadi told the other officers that he was making friends with the young assassin to gain his trust. At the same time he told Jafari that he would be sprung on the day of his execution and Tudeh members would be attending his execution to create a diversion while Tudeh policemen would arrange his escape to a safe house. The deception went on till the moment the hangman placed the noose around Jafari's neck. Ghobadi was haunted by the memory of that final look and how the terror of reality caught up with the young man.

As Keshavarz admits in his memoires no matter who Dehghan was or how corrupt he was, there was no justification for what the centrat committee was up to.

Ghobadi's request was finally granted by the Tudeh leadership and the Soviets. He was returned to the Iranian border. During his interrogation he repeatedly said that he was a communist, did not believe in god and wished to be executed.  He requested to see his sister but his sister declined to meet him. He was tried by a military court and sentenced to death. He did not appeal the verdict or the sentence and was executed.

There are volumes of books written by the Tudeh sympathisers in the West propagating some romantic myth about these people who were nothing but traitors. It is time to challange and expose their lies.

Farah, I decided against responding to your comments

by Anahid Hojjati on Thu Jun 10, 2010 09:57 PM PDT

 

Farah, I decided not to respond to your comments. Whatever I write, you will have a comment about, then I will reply and it will go on. I have neither the time nor patience for this. Go ahead and be against Kianouri, Firooz, etc. I don't really care. Your mind is already made up. People who want to know the truth, can do their own research.

Take your time dear, collect your amo and fire at will. I won't go anywhere.

 By the way, many people are not here to defend themselves: Khomeini, Khalkhali, Mohammad Reza Shah, Reza shah, Mossadegh, Ghengiz Khan, Prophet Mohammad, Hitler, Stalin .... would you like me to continue? But hey, history is all about the past, not present!

 You know Anahid, you are not the only who feels sorry for me. Often I feel the same too - lol

Farah, you have written much that I disagree. I am busy now but I will respond later. As foooladi said, Kianouri and Firooz are not here to defend themselves so you guys are having a field day with all your mozakhrafat.

Anahid you take things so literally!

Did I ever  say or suggest that I enjoy reading the historic contents of such a blog? If I did show me where? While this is an informative blog, it makes me sad to be reminded of the criminal activities of the Tudeh party. 

And the Islamic regime did not give a jolt (i.e. a sudden shake or a shock) to the first generation Tudehis. Initially they were brothers in arms and later the Islamists gave a number of them a very harsh lesson - some lost their lives too. This was not a little or a ig jolt. This was a significant amputation not a jolt.

But a a little jolt may be needed for the second generation Tudehis to be reminded of their fathers criminal plans and plots, some of them were eventually materialized. I am talking about the Stalinist Tudehis, the likes of Kianouri, Firooz, Eskandari, Kambakhsh, Pishe-vari, Rouzbeh, Tabari, Khamehe and many others whose names escape me. These people gave Iran more than a little jolt and were they ever succesful in achieving what they had planned, you and I were exchanging this mesage in Sirilik.- maybe then we would not argue with each other for the meaning of jolt!!

To Farah: if this blog gives you joy, I feel sorry for you

by Anahid Hojjati on Thu Jun 10, 2010 09:35 AM PDT

 

Farah, you wrote:"It is never late or out of place to give the second generation Tudehis a little jolt." 

So you like to join ranks of IRI criminals who gave Tudehis a jolt. If that is what you pride yourself on, I feel sorry for you.

And guess what Kianouri said?

by Farah Rusta on Mon Jun 07, 2010 01:54 AM PDT

 " Keshavarz had no qualification for measuring the
committee's judgment" which is the same as what Comrade says!!

add two and two and one can safely conclude that Comrade is a mini Kianouri.

Thanks for the blog. It is never late or out of place to give the second generation Tudehis a little jolt.

unfair article.

by fooladi on Mon Jun 07, 2010 12:08 AM PDT

Kinoori and his wife are both dead, so can not defend themselves against these accusations. .

The real issue is the rape , torture and murder of Iranian youth by the khalifeh khamenei and his gang, not a suspicious murder case 60 years ago....

Thanks

In free Iran, all these stories  will be revisited. Not for political tension, but to get ideas for movie scenarios and novels.

The political issues will be of totally different kind.

"As Keshavarz admits in his memoires no matter who Dehghan was or
how
corrupt he was, there was no justification for what the centrat
committee was up to."

False premise. Keshavarz had no qualification for measuring the
committee's judgment.
