The Revolutionary Court did not publish the details of the charges against General Ali Neshat, but the “judges” accused him in court of “putting himself and the entire body of the subordinates under his command at the disposal of the Tehran Military Command at the time where Field Marshal Oveissi was Military Commander of Tehran, to ensure that the plans of said Command … for the suppression of the fighting people were carried out in the best possible way”.
General Neshat’s loyalty to the Shah, his role in the suppression of the protesters “by positioning the Imperial Guard tanks at the Dushan Tappeh military bases”, and the destruction of certain documents, were among some of the charges leveled by the “judges” against him. In his defense, General Neshat alluded to a charge regarding the map of Kurdistan but available sources have not published any information regarding said charge.
