Mehdi Khanbaba Tehrani, a left-wing political activist, died on Tuesday, October 28, at the age of 92.

Mr. Khaneva Tehrani began his political activity in the 1920s by being a member of the youth organization of the Toda Party of Iran and later became a member of this party. After the coup on August 28, 1332, he joined the ranks of the critics of the party and was one of the branches of this political organization, which later received the name "Revolutionary Organization of Toda Party of Iran".

This left-wing political activist was also one of the founders of the Confederation of Iranian Students Abroad. He worked for a while at Beijing Radio during the Chinese Cultural Revolution and met with Mao Zedong, the founder of Communist China.

Khanbaba Tehrani returned to Iran one day before the victory of the revolution on 22 Bahman 1357 and founded the "National Democratic Front" together with another group of political activists, but following the beginning of the suppression of the leftist forces by the Islamic Republic in 1360, he left the country and joined the Council of National Resistance for a while. This political activist has lived in Germany for the past four decades.
