Bahman Dihqání (January 3, 1941 - November 19, 1983) was a Persian Bahá’í who was martyred in Iran.
Background[edit]
Dihqání was born into a Bahá’í family in Mohammadiyeh, Isfahan province, in 1941. In his professional career he was a farmer and owned his own farm.[1]
On November 19, 1983, a mob attacked his home, destroying his car and setting the building on fire with kerosene. With the assistance of a Muslim friend he was able to help his wife and six of their children escape through the roof. He exited the building through its courtyard and was assaulted and left for dead. He survived the assault and was taken to a hospital but he passed a short time later.[1]
