Thanks, dear Hans and You're welcome.

I'm just doing what the site's motto says! "Information not shared, is lost."

Well, there are lots of things to say that will surprise any European / American / Australian / and Most of Asians and Africans, especially those who are not from Islamic Countries.

Next post is an example! I'll link the Wikipedia page as well for that particular biography.

Thanks for your time, reading these posts.

Hojjat Kashani, Ali
Lieutenant-General
Imperial Iranian Army

From English Wikipedia:

Lieutenant general Ali Hojjat Kashani (1921 - 11 April 1979) as Lieutenant-general of the Imperial Army of Iran, was the Deputy Prime Minister and head of the Physical Education Organization. He was executed in Qasr Prison after the victory of the Iranian Revolution in 1979. Iranian sports won 64 medals at the Asian Games in Tehran, including 30 gold medal. He also played an important role in the re-admission of Chinese sports to international forums.

Translated from Persian Wikipedia [No Politics, Just history]:

Ali Hojjat Kashani, after Morocco's decision to cut off dependence on France in the field of military training from Iran in the framework of technical assistance, and as the head of Iran's military advisory board to that country, he set up an officer cadet college and his services were noticed by the Moroccan authorities.

He, who was known as "Timsar Hojjat" among the people of the sports community, from May 1351, corresponding to the ninth year of Prime Minister Amir Abbas Hoveida, became his deputy and the head of the physical education organization.

Hojjat Kashani was tried in the Revolutionary Court. He, who was deprived of having a defense lawyer, was recognized as a "combatant" and "Mehdur al-Dam" by Sadegh Khalkhali and was shot on 22nd of Farvardin 1358 in Qasr prison.

Among his accusations were sports activities and the holding of the Tehran Asian Games. In part of the indictment against him, it was stated: "Do you remember those times when the power was in your hands and you dragged the youth into the mire of corruption by holding shows of the Olympics, etc., while your duty was to make our youth Grow healthy."

Ali Hojjat Kashani is one of the 438 people whose executions were recorded in the March 1358 [1979] report of Amnesty International.
