Bahman Naderipour

Bahman Naderipour, known by the alias Tehrani, was an interrogator for SAVAK at the Joint Anti-Sabotage Committee prison. He was accused of torturing revolutionaries, tried on these charges, found guilty, and sentenced to execution.

Tehrani joined the National Intelligence and Security Organization (SAVAK) in 1967 with a high school diploma. Initially, he worked in the archives and indexing departments before being transferred to section 311, which was responsible for gathering intelligence on communist groups. In this role, under the leadership of Abbasali Shahriari, he was involved in infiltrating the Tudeh Party and played a part in the arrest of Bijan Jazani and his group. During his service, he continued his education and obtained a bachelor's degree from the University of Tehran.

In late 1970, he became a member of a committee in the third department tasked with identifying those involved in nationwide university protests. Tehrani participated in the execution by firing squad of nine individuals in the heights of Evin. In 1976, he was sent to the United States and Israel for specialised training courses.

Following the victory of the 1979 revolution, Tehrani went into hiding for a period and was arrested by revolutionary forces in early 1979. Due to the nature of the Islamic Revolution, he attempted to deny torturing religious individuals. Ultimately, he was executed on 24 June 1979.
