Ezzatollah Siamak

Ezzatollah Siamak (persisk:عزت‌الله سیامک) Died on Tuesday 19 October 1954, was a colonel in the Gendarmerie and one of the founders of the Military Organization of the Tudeh Party of Iran, also serving as a member of its secretariat.

[1] Despite the repercussions resulting from the suppression of the military branch of the Tudeh Party after the uprisings of the Khorasan officers and the Azerbaijan events in 1946–47, leading to their crackdown, forced migration, and escape to the Soviet Union, the presence of Colonel Siamak, Khosrow Roozbeh, and Colonel Mohammad Ali Mobasheri, who remained safe from army arrests, ensured the core of the Military Organization of the Tudeh Party was preserved, allowing it to continue its covert activities.

Colonel Siamak was among the detainees sentenced to death in a military court and, on October 19, 1954, was executed in the field of the 2nd Armored Brigade alongside nine others, marking the first group of Tudeh officers to face the firing squad.

[3] The Persian song Mara Beboos has mistakenly been attributed to Colonel Siamak and circulated with the claim that he composed it for his daughter just before the execution.

[4] Colonel Siamak's body was delivered to his family for burial after the execution and laid to rest in the Imamzadeh Abdullah cemetery in Rey, Tehran.
