Majid Sharif Vaghefi
Edit ProfileCareer
Early He was one of the best students in high school. Following advises from his teachers he continued his studies in Electrical Engineering at Aryamehr University, which changed its name to Sharif University as a memorial after the Islamic revolution. In 1971, while trying to obtain some guns to be used in fighting the Shah, SAVAK was informed about the group and many members were arrested.
Majid was one of those who weren"t arrested and so secretly tried to gather others to organize again.
The Shah"s regime killed many of the leaders, but the group, now called the organization, successfully reorganized. Majid refused and was thus removed from the Central Group of leaders.
They called him one day for an appointment and killed him in an alley in Tehran, then burned his body, so no one could identify him. However, SAVAK had been informed and arrested some of those who engaged in his murder.
After the revolution, police arrested the man who ordered his murder Taghi Shahram, who was one of Mujahedin"s leaders and killed many for their beliefs after Majid.
Shahram was executed in 1981.
Membership
After graduating he began work in a local office, while he became a member of a secret group called Mujahedin e Khalgh (People"s Mujahedin of Iran).
