The Catholic Cemetery in Doulab - Polish Cemetery ( Fars Travel Company ) ( Iran Program Presstv )
The 75th anniversary of the arrival of more than 120,000 polish refugees (including women and children) in Iran during WWII was marked in Tehran and Isfahan by a string of cultural events, curtesy of the polish government as a token of appreciation for the warm welcome they received at the time from Iranians.
We took the opportunity to go through historical facts to exhibit the level of religious tolerance that the peace loving nation of Iran displayed at a time when they were struggling with the consequences of WWII including famine and widespread epidemics.
The events include a exhibition of a collection of very rare photos of polish children in Isfahan which were recently discovered; a play, performance art and a music band comprising of both Iranian and Polish musicians; and a tour pf the old neighborhoods were the refugees were stationed as well as the cemetery were nearly 2000 of them are buried.

Doulab Cemetery Polish Groves- Tehran, Iran / Polskie groby na cmentarzu w Teheranie, Iran
The Doulab Catholic Cemetery is more than 150 years old. Its coming into being is closely linked with the interest the Qajar rulers took in European science and culture at that time.
In 1942 an important chapter was added to the cemetery’s history, when several ten thousands of Poles were released from Soviet captivity and arrived in Iran.

Egzotyczny polski cmentarz w Iranie, część katolickiego cmentarza Dulab w Teheranie. Cmentarz rzymskokatolicki Dulab to ponad 150 lat historii, a jego powstanie ściśle związane jest z zainteresowaniem władców z dynastii Kadżarów europejską kulturą i nauką. Kolejnym rozdziałem w historii cmentarza rozpoczął się w 1942 roku, wraz z przybyciem do Iranu dziesiątek tysięcy polskich jeńców zwolnionych wcześniej z niewoli sowieckiej. Ja byłem tam w czerwcu 2014 i wizyta na tej nekropolii wywarła na mnie duże wrażenie. Szary, zapomniany, opuszczony cmentarz w centrum miasta. Dużo grobów małych dzieci, młodzieży, młodych Polaków, którym nikt już znicza na grobie nie zapali.

Ebn-e Babooyeh cemetery, Ebn-e Babveyh, or Ibn-e Baabevey (ابن بابويه) is located in Iran in the town of Rey شهرري (now inside Greater Tehran metropolitan area).
The cemetery is named after the most famous occupant, Ibn Babawayh (d.991 CE) a famous scholar of Shia Islam. He taught in Baghdad and lived in Rey ري at the end of his life. His works (more than 300 volumes) are used as valid sources in Jurisprudence. His most famous book is Man La-yahzar al-faqih. He died in 381 A.H. and his tomb is in Ebn-e Babooyeh.
Many Iranian giants of sports, literature, arts, culture, religion, and politics are buried there. The reason for this is Rey being a Shiite pilgrimage site because of the Shah-Abdol-Azim shrine, which led many pious people to be buried near to this place.

Sohrab Arabis tomb at Behesht Zahra cemetery in Tehran - Iran 12 June 2010
Sohrab disappeared on June 15 during 2009 presidential election protests in Iran.
After nearly a month of searching by friends and relatives, it turned out that the Islamic regime had killed Shorab with a gunshot through the chest.
Other sources mentioned two bullet wounds one in the head and one under the heart.
The exact circumstances in which Arabi was killed are still uncertain. According to one scenario, he died in prison. Others claim he may have been shot in the streets and died later in a hospital or police camp.

A Cemetery in Iran: the Aftermath of War
I visited a cemetery outside of Tehran, Iran. All of our conflicts take place overseas so we rarely see the aftermath of war, but seeing the graves of so many Iranian boys really drove home the reality of what we mean when we talk about fighting with Iran.

Buried truths in Khavaran, Tehran
Khavaran is a vacant lot 15 kilometers southeast of Tehran, next to Golestan-e Javid and the Armenian Cemetery, located on Lappeh Zanak Street on the Khorasan road. Since the early 1980s, the authorities buried executed Baha’is and political activists who supported or were members of the leftist political organizations there, calling it “Kofr abad” or “La’nat abad.”
In 1988, the families of political prisoners discovered several mass graves in this area. They believed the corpses of their relatives killed during the 1988 massacres in Evin and Gohardasht prisons were secretly buried in those mass graves.
The authorities have consistently prevented commemorative gatherings in this place, and in 2007 closed the main entrance. In 2008, memorials, grave markers and plants left in Khavaran by families were destroyed by bulldozers. Many families believe that during these operations, the remains of executed prisoners were moved to another location.

Amendment July 2016: A visitor to the site has informed us about the following history of Polish refugees in Persia: Thousands of Poles were deported to the USSR in 1940-1, after the Red Army invaded Poland. Following the outbreak of the Soviet-German war in June 1941, talks began between Stalin and the Polish government in exile. These concluded with the signing of the Sikorski-Mayski agreement (30 July 1941). In August 1941, Soviet authorities issued an “amnesty” decree for Polish citizens.
The Polish-Soviet agreement enabled the Polish Embassy to resume operations, and gave Polish people an opportunity to leave their places of exile. Moreover, it created a legal basis for the formation of the Polish Army in the USSR, under the command of Gen. Wladyslaw Anders (hence the name Anders’ Army). The army was a component of the Polish Armed Forces, subordinate to the government in London. The Polish Army (app. 76,000 people) was evacuated to Iran in 1942, along with around 40,000 Polish civilians. It was then that settlements were created for the civilians in Africa, Iran, India, Palestine, Mexico and New Zealand.
