Abbas Hajari (Persian: عباس حجری) was an Iranian communist and military officer.
He was member of the Tudeh Military Network that was uncovered in 1954, as a result he spent 25 years in prison until 1978.[2] After the Iranian Revolution, he ran for an Assembly of Experts for Constitution seat from Tehran constituency.[3] He was Secretariat-in-charge of Tehran provincial committee.[4]
In 1983, he was arrested by the Islamic Republic government and was put on trial.[4] Reynaldo Galindo Pohl, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran, cites his name among the victims of 1988 executions of Iranian political prisoners.[1]
