The execution by firing squad of Mahmoud Hasanzadeh (41), Fereidoun Faridani (58), Ali Motahhari (44), Azizollah Zabihian (56), Jalal Mostaghim (52), Abdol-Vahhab Kazemi [-Manshadi] (85), Nourollah Akhtar-Khavari (61) at a place some 10 km outside of Yazd at a spot called Golestan Yazd. They were executed on a charge of treason. [Archives of the Bahá'í Persecution in Iran]

Some 19 years later on the anniversary of their martyrdom some 500 souls gathered at Golestan Yazd and circled around the place of martyrdom. The gathering was arranged by the Bahá'í community of Yasd and the relatives of these seven martyrs were special quests. [from a post to H-Bahai@h-net.msu.edu by Negar Mottahedeh dated 21 Sept 2000]
