Mohammad Hossein Karimi (Kurdish: محەممەد حوسێن کەریمی, Mohammad Hossein Karimi; 20 February 1949 – 15 February 1979) was one of the founders and the first leaders of Komala Party in Iran, who was born in Saqqez, Iran.[citation needed] He was killed on February 15, 1979 as a result of being shot by military guards while the people attacking on the police central station during the demonstrations related to the Iranian Revolution. The day of his death is named as the day of Komala.[1][2][3][4]
Mohammad Hossein Karimi was born in Saqqez in a working-class family and financially moderate.[5] He completed his education up to his diploma in the same city and went to the Faculty of Agriculture University of Tehran in Karaj to continue his studies in agricultural engineering. While studying he agreed with many Kurdish students, including Foad Mostafa Soltani[6] to establish a political party.[7] That party was called Komala later. Before that, he founded the Farmers' Union because of having a good relationship with the trustees, elders and religious families of the region. Later Ezaddin Husseini took over the leadership of this union.[8]
