On August 27, 1979, after a brief trial, 11 men were identified as "counter-revolutionaries" and executed at Sanandaj Airport. Nine of the 11 are Kurds, and although they all deny accusations against themselves, all justifications are futile in the context of the Islamic Revolution. After the Islamic Revolution in early 1979 overthrew The Pahlavi king, Khomeini came to power and began to suppress the opposition on a large scale, saying: "Don't talk to me about democracy, that's Western stuff!" ”
Of the 11 people who were executed, some died calmly in the face of death, while some were too frightened to stand before the execution, and the firing squad did not even spare those who were seriously injured, and carried him on a stretcher to the execution site for execution.
Fearing reprisals for making the photographs public, the photographers who took them have been present anonymously, and although the photos have won Pulitzer Prizes, it has long been unknown who the photographer was. Until 2006 the photographer Jahangir. Razmi revealed his identity in the Wall Street Journal.
