Secretary General of Komala

Secretary General

Abdullah Mohtadi was born in the Kurdistan region of Iran in 1949. His father was a minister in the short-lived Kurdish Republic of Mahabad. The family later resettled in Tehran, the capital city of Iran, where his father taught theology at the city's university. Abdullah earned his BA degree in Business from Tehran Business School.

Mohtadi became politically active while at university. With fellow Kurdish students in Tehran, he co-founded the Komala organization in 1969 as an independent organization.

During the Iranian Revolution, Mohtadi led mass demonstrations, protests and rallies in the Kurdistan region of Iran. But the nature of Mohtadi's movement was in sharp contrast to the one in Tehran. In Tehran and across all non-Kurdish areas in Iran, the Ayatollahs dominated the movement and painted it as an Islamic Revolution. Contrarily, the Kurdish movement remained democratic and it never gave up that value to obey the rule of the Ayatollahs.

When Ayatollah Khomeini ordered a massive onslaught against the Iranian Kurds in August 1979, Mohtadi emerged as a leader of the Kurdish resistance movement.

Because of the pressure from the Kurdish resistance, the new leaders of the Islamic Iran decided to negotiate a deal with the Kurds, and Mohtadi was appointed the representative of Komala in the United Kurdish Delegation for Negotiations.

Komala was no exception. Like all other opposition organizations of that time, Komala faced severe repression.
