About this Case

News of the execution of Mr. Alamdar Salehi, son of Gholam, was sent to the Boroumand Foundation via electronic form by a person close to him.  Mr. Salehi is also one of the 12028 individuals listed in an addendum to the Mojahed magazine (No 261), published by Mojahedin Khalq Organization in 1985. The list includes individuals, affiliated with various opposition groups, who were executed or killed during clashes with the Islamic Republic security forces from June 1981 to the publication date of the magazine.

According to available information, Mr. Salehi was 23 years old, single, born in Bardestan (Bushehr,) had a high school diploma and was a teacher and a supporter of the Peykar Organization for the Liberation of the Working Class. 

The Peykar Organization for the Liberation of the Working Class was founded by a number of dissident members of the Mojahedin Khalq Organization who had converted to Marxism-Leninism. Peykar was also joined by a number of political organizations, known as Khat-e Se (Third line). The founding tenets of Peykar included the rejection of guerrilla struggle and a strong stand against the pro-Soviet policies of the Iranian Tudeh Party. Peykar viewed theSoviet Unionas a "Social imperialist" state, believed thatChinahad deviated from the Marxist-Leninist principles, and radically opposed all factions of the Islamic regime ofIran. The brutal repression of dissidents by the Iranian government and splits within Peykar in 1981 and 1982 effectively dismantled the Organization and scattered its supporters. By the mid-1980s, Peykar was no longer in existence.
