Some background:

In the early 2000s, when the "Islamic Morality Police" was established, Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Radan was one of the leading defenders of this special division and openly supported the arrest of women who did not follow the obligatory hijab. In 2007, he ordered the police to arrest "boys" with what he called "perverted hairstyle", and during the 2009 uprising, his forces demonstrated a new level of brutality by killing protestors. In 2011, he banned the physicians and specialists practising in private health centres from putting on ties….

Radan is the police commander to whom, in a 2008 live TV program, the presenter said, "There is no one who sees you and is not scared of you".

In October 2010, the United States Treasury Department sanctioned Radan for human rights violations. According to their statement, Radan, while serving as deputy commander of the police force, was responsible for the beatings, murders, and detentions of protesters during the protests following the 2009 Iranian presidential election.

On 13 April 2011, Radan was sanctioned by the European Union for widespread and severe violations of the rights of Iranian citizens, and for a series of murders. According to the EU statement, he, as deputy commander of the police force, was involved in "beatings", "murders", "arbitrary detentions," and "arrests of protesters" by the police during the 2009 post-election protests.

On 18 September 2024, the Canadian government sanctioned Radan, in addition to four other officials of the Islamic Republic who are directly responsible for implementing oppressive and discriminatory policies against women, girls, and minorities. The sanctions regulations prohibit transactions with the listed individuals, freeze their assets in Canada, and make any immigration to Canada of these individuals prohibited and inadmissible under Canadian immigration law.

Radan claimed that being sanctioned by the US and EU was an honor for himself and all military commanders. He stated that "becoming a martyr and being sanctioned are equally enjoyable" to him. Radan views these sanctions as a "badge of honor", comparing them to an honorary medal for serving the Islamic Republic.

At last his dream of martyrdom has been realised.
