Description
"The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Operational Base (regional headquarters) Najaf-e-Ashraf oversees the provinces of Kermanshah, Hamedan and Ilam. EU-listed Brigadier General Mohammad Nazar Azimi is the commander of this entity. During the 2022 protests, Kermanshah province has seen violent crackdowns by Iranian security forces, including the IRGC. The IRGC Operational Base Najaf-e-Ashraf is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran."1
