Seyyed Rasoul Jafari Fard

In the year 1958, amidst the rustic charm of Kohmareh Sorkhi village near Shiraz, a young boy named Seyyed Rasoul Jafari Fard was born. Life presented him with early challenges, as he lost his father at the tender age of six. Yet, amidst these hardships, Seyyed Rasoul persevered, pursuing his education at a nomadic school. The harsh realities of poverty demanded that he balance his studies with work, a testament to his resilience and determination.


Seyyed Rasoul's passion for education led him to the noble profession of teaching. He took up a teaching position in the village of Marvdasht, Fars Province, where he imparted knowledge to young minds despite meager compensation. He was soon offered a teaching opportunity in Kurdistan during his second year of service. Beyond the confines of the classroom, Seyyed Rasoul's unwavering spirit extended to the realm of social activism. In the village where he taught, he actively participated in revolutionary activities, distributing leaflets that championed the cause of change.


On July 5, 1982, during the holy month of Ramadan, Seyyed Rasoul's unwavering commitment to his country and its people reached its ultimate pinnacle. In a village near Shiraz, he volunteered to collaborate with the gendarmerie in their efforts to combat the Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist group (MEK), and he fell a martyr to the MEK's violence.
