Reza Alamouti

Who is Reza Alamouti?

Reza Alamouti was an Iranian political activist, considered to be known as one of the youngest Central Committee Members of the Organization of Iranian People's Fedai Guerrillas in the 1990s. He is also known as one of the first Iranian Socialist Feminist activists who introduced the Iranian left: a new Iranian Socialist movement that distanced itself from Stalinism and adopted more of a Trotskyist Agenda.

A quick review of OIPFG's history and recent political changes clarifies Reza Alamouti's role in the party's political life:

The Fedaian Guerrillas were a Marxist- Leninist Organization formed in the 1960s to fight the US backed Government of Pahlavi. At that point of time, Iran was a monarchy adopting capitalism as its economic system. OIPFG participated in the Iranian Revolution in 1979. However in the early 1980s the majority of its members were either imprisoned by ayatollahs or executed. The party then split into two fractions: the majority and the minority.

Right then, even though Reza Alamouti was only a little boy; he actively supported the Minority movement opposing the Islamic Republic of Iran and its agenda.
