Hassan Ayat (24 June 1938 – 5 August 1981) was an Iranian politician. He was member of Parliament of Iran in first assembly after the Iranian Revolution and also member of Assembly of Experts for Constitution.

Early life

He was born on 24 June 1938 in Najafabad, Isfahan.[1] After spending time in studying elementary and secondary schools in Najafabad, He moved to Tehran for higher education and was graduated from University of Tehran. He was a classmate with Abulhassan Banisadr.[2] He was journalist from 1958 to 1965 and was worked in Ettela'at.

Career

Ayat was a member of Zahmatkeshan Party before Iranian Revolution but resigned from the party. Ayat joined the Islamic Republican Party and became a member of its central committee.[3] He was elected as a member of Assembly of Experts for Constitution in Constitutional Convention election. After that, Ayat was elected as a member of Parliament from Tehran. He was one of the main leaders in impeachment of President Abulhassan Banisadr. He was opposed to the election of Mir-Hossein Mousavi as prime minister because he believed that Mir-Hossein Mousavi was a freemasonry agent who had penetrated in the political structure of the Islamic Republic of Iran to attempt the subversion of the Islamic government when the time is ripe. It is often stated that he was to submit to the officials the hard evidence he had gathered against Mousavi and his wife Zahra Rahnavard. He was killed when he was on his way to submit the hard evidence by some in front of his house and the hard evidence is said to have been stolen in order to keep Mousavi from being removed forever.[4]

Assassination

On 5 August 1981, five days after Hafte Tir bombing, Ayat was assassinated by People's Mujahedin of Iran in front of his house by two men who then escaped on motorcycles.[5]
