Life
[edit]
Born in Erivan (Yerevan) within the Russian Empire to a family originally from Shiraz, he belonged to a lineage that had relocated from Shiraz to Erivan during the Safavid period.[1] He lived in Yerevan until 1889 when he and his father, Karim Khan Monshizadeh, moved to Iran. After moving to Iran, he studied in Dar ul-Funun, and started political activity after his father was poisoned to death by Qajar officials. He took part in the Constitutional Revolution, where he joined the constitutionalists of Gilan.
He founded the punishment committee on 1 September 1916, along with Asadallah Khan Abolfath Zadeh. He was later arrested and exiled to Kalat-e Naderi, but was killed on the way by the order of Vosugh od-Dowleh in Damghan.[2][3]
Davud Monshizadeh, founder of the far right Iranian party SUMKA was his son.[4]
