Hamid Hajizadeh was a revered poet and teacher from Kerman. On September 22, 1998, he was brutally murdered alongside his nine-year-old son, Karun, in their home city. Their killings were part of the state-sponsored Chain Murders of Iran, a series of assassinations targeting intellectuals and dissidents. The Chain Murders were carried out by government agents, who were responsible for the violent deaths of Hajizadeh and his young son. This tragic event remains a stark reminder of state violence against its critics. Hamid Hajizadeh is remembered for his contributions as a poet and teacher, with his birthday being observed on Teacher's Day.
