Highgate Cemetery- Mansoor HEKMAT

Originally from Tehran in Iran, Mansoor Hekmat was an Iranian Marxist and was the leader of the Worker Communist Party of Iran. He also opposed the Shah of Iran, who was the King at the time. He believed in the possibility of workers revolution in Iran and across the Arab world. Hekmat moved to London in 1973 where he was introduced to the world of Marxism and quickly became a critic of communism. In the years of 1979 he returned back to Iran for when the Iranian Revolution broke out. Throughout his life he carried on his work trying to win over Iranians and many countries within the middle east to accept his views on Marxism.
