It was reported that Iran executed the famous and maverick Brigadier-General Mohamad-Mehdi Dozdoozani following a speedy trial. Dozdoozani, a hero of war and one of the high commanders of the Pasdaran Corp. (the Guardians of Islamic Revolution created to protect the Islamic republic), was executed along with several other officers in the Heshmatie Military facilities.
This was the first time that such high rank dissident Pasdaran Corp. officer was executed by the Islamic regime which reportedly preferred "to arrange accidents" for the dissidents of its armed forces. Dozdoozani became an open critic of the regime following the endorsement of a famous public letter entitled "We're Combatants".
In the letter, signed by tens of officers of the Pasdaran Corp., the regime's leaders were attacked for corruption and injustices.
Arrested in summer 2003 for disobedience and promotion of rebellion, Dozdoozani and several of his officers were finally executed on the request of the Supreme Leader, reportedly to create fear among thousands of other members of the Pasdaran Corp.
The exact date and number of people executed was not reported.
