Summary

The Director Disqualification Sanction was imposed on 09/04/2025.

Seyyed Bakhtiari est le président de la Fondation de secours Imam Khomeini (IKRF). L'IKRF est une organisation caritative liée au régime qui participe à des livraisons d'armes pour le compte des forces Qods du Corps des gardiens de la révolution islamique (IRCG). L'IKRF tire une partie de ses revenus de la saisie d'avoirs détenus par des minorités religieuses. En outre, l'IKRF a rendu possibles les abus sexuels et l'exploitation sexuelle des femmes en conditionnant l'aide aux veuves et aux femmes sans protection à la conclusion d'un mariage temporaire. Seyyed Bakhtiari est donc responsable de graves violations des droits de l'homme en Iran.

Seyyed Bakhtiari is the President of the Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation (IKRF). The IKRF is a regime-linked charity foundation involved in weapon deliveries on behalf of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Forces. The IKRF derives part of its income from the seizure of assets from religious minorities. Furthermore, the IKRF has enabled sexual abuse and exploitation of women by making aid for widows and unprotected women conditional on those women entering into a temporary marriage. Seyyed Bakhtiari is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran.

    Deputy custodian of Imam Reza shrine. Former Official of the Special Clerical Tribunal. Former Minister of Justice from 2009 to 2013. During his time as Minister of Justice, prison conditions within Iran fell well below accepted international standards, and there was widespread mistreatment of prisoners. In addition, he played a key role in threatening and harassing the Iranian diaspora by announcing the establishment of a special court to deal specifically with Iranians who live outside the country. He also oversaw a sharp increase in the number of executions in Iran, including secret executions not announced by the government, and executions for drug-related offences.
