As the police commander of the city of Bushehr and a member of the City Security Council, he was responsible for issuing orders to use deadly weapons against protesters as well as the widespread detention of protesters during the 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.  The protests were brutally suppressed by the security and military forces. According to Reuters at least 1500 protesters were killed. Amnesty International, revealed the identity of 324 protesters killed by the security forces including at least 23 children.
