Narrative

Nejat Yahya served as a First Lieutenant and a pilot in the Imperial Iranian Air Force. His life and career were caught in the political upheaval following the 1979 Revolution, a period marked by significant purges and restructuring within the Iranian military. Yahya was accused of participating in the Nojeh Uprising (also known as the Mask or Shahrokhi Uprising), a failed coup attempt aimed at the newly established revolutionary government. Consequently, he was sentenced to death by Mohammad Reyshahri and executed on July 31, 1980. He is remembered through archival photographs and the remaining weathered headstone of his grave.

نجات یحیی ستوان یکم و خلبان نیروی هوایی ارتش شاهنشاهی ایران بود. زندگی و دوران خدمت او با تحولات سیاسی پس از انقلاب ۱۳۵۷ گره خورد؛ دورانی که با تغییرات گسترده و تصفیه‌های نظامی همراه بود. وی به اتهام مشارکت در قیام نقاب (کودتای نوژه) که با نام قیام شاهرخی نیز شناخته می‌شود، بازداشت شد. نجات یحیی در تاریخ ۹ مرداد ۱۳۵۹ به حکم محمد ری‌شهری اعدام گردید. یاد او در اسناد آرشیوی و تصاویر به‌جامانده از سنگ مزار فرسوده‌اش زنده نگه داشته شده است.
