FARAJA; LEF)
Ali Shirazi is the Head of the Political Ideology Organization of the Law Enforcement Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran (FARAJA) and former Representative of the Supreme Leader in the Sarallah headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Within the organisational structure of the FARAJA, the Political Ideology Organization plays a central role by promoting the ideological indoctrination of the security forces. The FARAJA has repeatedly played a key role in violently suppressing peaceful protests, and is therefore responsible for widespread human rights violations. In addition, during Ali Shirazi’s tenure in the IRGC’s Sarallah headquarters, a plan was established granting security forces the authority to kill and to rapidly escalate to lethal force in the event of protest.
Ali Shirazi is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran.","createdAt":"2026-08-28T15:34:24.062Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-28T15:34:24.062Z","aliases":[{"id":"ee0740a3-dd61-4584-8b4c-22b1afd13dcf","personId":"af17f342-ff52-40ce-b171-eb05cd52fac1","name":"Hojjatoleslam Ali SHIRAZI","sourceId":"2a5618c9-d217-4efa-89f9-81eaf0ba29aa","createdAt":"2026-08-28T15:34:24.064Z","source":{"name":"EU Consolidated Sanctions List"}},{"id":"42a5c0bd-54a9-48b0-9240-ce0c7e24e02e","personId":"af17f342-ff52-40ce-b171-eb05cd52fac1","name":"Ali SHIRAZI","sourceId":"2a5618c9-d217-4efa-89f9-81eaf0ba29aa","createdAt":"2026-08-28T15:34:24.067Z","source":{"name":"EU Consolidated Sanctions List"}},{"id":"e5320e87-b920-4ea6-b655-3f085f1912d5","personId":"af17f342-ff52-40ce-b171-eb05cd52fac1","name":"علی شیرازی","sourceId":"2a5618c9-d217-4efa-89f9-81eaf0ba29aa","createdAt":"2026-08-28T15:34:24.069Z","source":{"name":"EU Consolidated Sanctions List"}}],"identifiers":[],"sanctions":[{"id":"b9799c8a-73d3-4fd5-b893-9d0c1b694370","personId":"af17f342-ff52-40ce-b171-eb05cd52fac1","regime":"EU","program":"IRN","sourceId":"2a5618c9-d217-4efa-89f9-81eaf0ba29aa","createdAt":"2026-08-28T15:34:24.072Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-19T04:32:48.733Z","delistedAt":null,"designatedAt":null,"legalBasis":null,"reason":null,"sanctionType":null,"documentUrl":null,"source":{"name":"EU Consolidated Sanctions List"}}],"sourceLinks":[{"externalId":"181990","fetchedAt":"2026-10-19T04:32:48.733Z","source":{"name":"EU Consolidated Sanctions List","url":"https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fsd/fsf/public/files/xmlFullSanctionsList_1_1","official":false,"entityType":"company"}}],"officerRoles":[],"wikidata":null}
