Description
"Colonel Salman Heidari is the head of Iran’s Law Enforcement Forces (LEF) in Bukan. The LEF’s response to the September 2022 protests in Bukan was particularly harsh. The LEF’s excessive use of violence to repress the protests resulted in the death of at least one child and in injuries to multiple people. As head of the LEF in Bukan, Heidari is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran."1
