General Hossein Rabii 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 News Agency reports. International human rights organizations have drawn attention to reports indicating that the Islamic Republic’s authorities have executed individuals on trumped up charges such as drug trafficking and other criminal offences. The exact number of people convicted based on trumped-up charges is unknown.
The Air Force is the youngest of all five services. It became a separate service on Sept. 18, 1947, after President Harry S. Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947. The Air Force has become the world’s premier aerospace force. Its mission, simply put, is to defend the nation through the control and exploitation of air and space. Although obviously tasked with flying missions, most personnel work on the ground in various construction, support and technical capacities. The Air Force is focused on flying. There are also plenty of other opportunities on land, though. If you like flying and/or working with flight systems and technology, the Air Force may be for you.
