Ali Akbar Mouradi
Mothers name: Maliha
Fathers name: Hussein Ali

Ali Akbar was born into a working class family in 1950 in Meriwan. He finished primary and secondary school in the city before he was admitted to Tehran Polytechnic University. He studied electronics and it is during this period he became friends with a group of student activists. Due to his activities he was arrested multiple times by Savak (security forces in Iran before 1979), but each time he was released due to lack of evidence for the crimes he was accused of.

During the revolution of 1979 he moved to Sanandaj and there he played a role in organising protests against the regime. After the revolution he opened the first party office (Cherikhaye Fadayie Khalgh) in Sanandaj. Later he was assigned by the party to move to Esfahan. Sadly Ali Akbar and his wife were arrested in February 1985.

In prison he was tortured and he went on hunger strike. His own testimony indicates that his execution was rushed and he was killed without a court verdict. His body was released to his family and he was brought back to Sanandaj where an autopsy was done confirming extensive torture and empty stomachs.

This is Ali Akbar’s testimony; in the very last moments of my life I am asking my tormented parents, my devoted and beloved wife, and my kind brothers to forgive me for what they must have been through because of me. Esfahan prison October 8. 1988 1:30 am.

The news of his execution was also mentioned by the newspaper published by Cherikhaye Fadayie Khalgh.

It is important to mention that the testimonies of those executed are believed to be written under pressure and may have been altered by their executioners. So they may contain wrong information.
