ALIBABAEI Mehdi
محدی علی بابایی
(a.k.a. ALI BABAEI Mehdi, BABAEI Ali Mehdi)
|
Nationality: Iranian
Gender: male
Rank: Major
Function: provincial deputy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Qom
|
Major Mehdi Alibabaei is the provincial deputy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Qom. He directs IRGC and Basij forces in the city of Qom.
Following the death of Mahsa Amini in September 2022, some of the most intense protests have been seen in the city of Qom. Security forces, including the IRGC and the Basij militia were deployed to violently crack down on these protests. Since March 2023, the IRGC and Basij militia have also been instructed to enforce the mandatory hijab law by new methods of oppression.
Alibabaei revealed a new scheme to deploy members of the Basij militia in each Qom neighbourhood to enforce the hijab law. The new scheme includes installing programs such as “Be a famous leader in our neighbourhood”, ordering IRGC/Basij forces to conduct neighbourhood patrols, the use of intelligence, intimidation, and enforcing accountability of regular citizens (for example by appealing to the responsibility of building and residence managers for “badly veiled” residents). This scheme represents a new level of denunciation and information gathering by the general population to oppress women.
Under the command of Alibabaei, the local IRGC and Basij forces in Qom are ordered to enforce certain selected laws, by means and methods that intimidate citizens and violate their fundamental rights.
As provincial deputy of the IRGC in Qom, Major Mehdi Alibabaei is responsible for the acts of oppression committed by the local IRGC and Basij forces and their violations of the rights of freedom of expression and privacy.
He is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran.
