Mehdi Kheiripour

As the commander of the Basij base in Abouzar Mosque (Martyr Ali Moghaddam Base), he is responsible for brutal suppression of November 2019 protests in Golshahr, Karaj and ordering the forces under his command to use lethal weapons against protesters.

The nationwide  protests of 2019, known as the protests of November 2019, were a series of large-scale popular demonstrations against the Iranian government, which began on November 15, 2019 in protest of the tripling of gasoline prices and quickly turned into anti-government protests that spread to 29 provinces in more than 100 cities across the country.  According to Amnesty International, at least 304 people were killed in the protests.
