Mubaraki, as the police commander of Javanrood city, was directly responsible for ordering the use of deadly weapons by the forces under his command against unarmed protesters during the November 2019 nationwide protests in Javanrood city, which resulted in the death of at least 6 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 15 November, 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.- Sources
