He joined supporters of a Kurdish spiritual leader, Seyed Khalil Alinezhad on November 18, 2022, to commemorate his anniversary. The peaceful gathering was violently attacked by the Revolutionary Guards-IRGC, followed by Iran\u2019s intelligence forces. The IRGC\u2019s Intelligence Chief of Sahneh County, Nader Beirami, was killed in the attack. He then went to Karaj, close to the country\u2019s capital, and was arrested on November 24, 2022, in relation to the incident. Iran\u2019s Judiciary has charged Reza Rasai with Moharebeh. It is also holding this young man responsible for the killing of Nader Beirami. The state has also condemned Mr. Rasai for acting against national security and attempting to escape from the police.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\"
