Hossein Tavakkoli Kajani

 As governor of Malard and chairman of the City Security Council, he has been responsible for mass arrest of protesters and ordering the use of deadly weapons against protesters, which killed at least 50 and injured a number of protesters in Malard during November 2019 protests.

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.
