The Ayandegan report mentioned that the Extraordinary Islamic Revolutionary Tribunal held a session at Alavi High School # 2 [Refah], which lasted for 10 hours. Based on the report, this Extraordinary Tribunal was ordered to form two days before it took session at the high school. General Naji and the other defendants were said to be the first group of “criminals” tried after the victory of the Revolution four days earlier.
General Mehdi Rahimi is one of 438 victims listed in a March 13, 1980 Amnesty International report. The report lists defendants who were convicted by Revolutionary Tribunals in the period from their inception until 12 August 1979. The list of victims and charges is drawn from sources including translations of indictments, reports of trials carried out by local and foreign media and the bulletins of the official Pars. The execution of general Rahimi and three other former regime officials was also reported in the newspapers Ayandegan and Keyhan (February 16, 1979).
