Description
Saeed Beheshti-Rad (Beheshti-Rad) serves as the deputy coordinator of the IRGC’s Hazrat Nabi Akram Corps in Kermanshah province. Forces under Beheshti-Rad’s command were responsible for the violent crackdown on peaceful protestors during nationwide protests in both 2019 and 2022. Beheshti-Rad’s forces were responsible for the arrest of many protestors, who Behesthi-Rad falsely accused of being “foreign spies” or members of “anti-revolutionary” groups.
