Behnam Majidi
From Bahaipedia
Behnam Majidi (1955 - July 26, 1978) was a Persian Bahá’í who was martyred for his beliefs.
Background[edit]
Majidi was elected to the Local Spiritual Assembly of Abbasabad in the Province of Karaj shortly after turning twenty-one,[1] and began studying chemistry at Aryamehr University.[2]
In July 1978 the anti-Bahá’í group Hojjatieh began inciting persecution of the Bahá’í community and mobs began looting Bahá’í homes and businesses. Majidi was murdered during this wave of violence with his body being found in a garden in a village near the city of Karaj.[2]
