Paveh´s Hospital (1979)
When a regime gives a mission to an inexperienced and vindictive youth named (Asghar Porroo) child of (Hassan Charkhi) to suppress the Kurds, in the most sensitive period of history and in the most sensitive region of the country, naturally, its output is fatwa, Khalkhali and execution.
A group of forty bloodthirsty people got an unlimited mission by the central government to launch a bloodbath in Paveh. The people of the city and the youth were disgusted by their roaring for killing. They decided to hold a civilized sit-in in an area called (QoriQala).
The pressures and harassment of the regime’s unbridled representatives on the people and their refusal to stop repression and insults had created an atmosphere that forced the representative of the interim government “Chamran” and the commander of the army ground forces to come to Paveh to investigate the situation in the region.
The differences between Chamran and Asghar Vesali in the way of suppressing the Kurds had reached such a point that Chamran had to return to Tehran again. As a spokesman and representative of the extremist fraction of the Revolutionary Council and the Provisional Government, he achieved to mobilize the army and the Revolutionary Guards with the consent of Khomeini.
Khomeini issued a fatwa on jihad against the people on August 18 of 1979 and ordered repression and massacre. He immediately appointed Khalkhali to carry out his religious fatwa.
Khalkhali shot 11 residents of Paveh and surrounding cities without trial on August 19, 1979, in Dieselabad Prison in Kermanshah, a few hours after the jihad fatwa.The executed people were:
| 1. Abdullah Nouri 2. Hoshang Azizi 3. Mohammad Mahmoudi 4. Yadollah Mahmoudi 5. Hussein Shiani 6. Hormoz Georji Bayani 7.Muzaffar Fattahi, from the city of Ravansar 8. Mohammad Ezzati, from the city of Ravansar 9. Mohammad Jafar Azizi 10. Mehdi Azarnoosh 11. Asghar Behbood |
Local mercenaries went to the house of Mohammad Jafar Azizi on August 18, 1979 to arrest him. They shot his mother, Rana Azizi, who was praying.
In another unjust sentence, on August 20, 1979, seven other people were executed.
| 1. Haji Afrasiab Rawayi 2. Abdul Wahab Mubarakshahi 3. Emad al-Din Naseri 4. Abdul Karim Karimi 5. Mohammad Ali Naqshbandi 6. Aziz Murad 7. Murad Zolfaghari |
That same evening, the criminal Khalkhali went to Paveh and sentenced nine other people to death. The sentence was carried out by shooting these nine people at the dawn of August 21, 1979, in the courtyard of Paveh Hospital:
| 1. Bahman Ezzati, teacher 2. Dr. Abolghasem Rashvand, a hospital surgeon, who worked in Paveh Hospital to help and treat the injured. 3. Hamed Amini, retired army officer 4. Abbas Karimi 5. Abdullah Zarei 6. Mohammad Heydari 7. Ali Shahbaz Behdin 8. Habib Cheraghi 9. Saifuddin Ziaei, hospital laboratory technician |
Another young man named Younes Karimzadeh was shot by Khalkhali’s order on August 24, 1979.
Thus, in less than three days, 27 people from Paveh and the region and those who had come to help these people were shot. This happened in the most brutal way within a few minutes without any fair trial.
