The regime under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has executed, killed, or imprisoned many individuals.

 Executed or Killed:

Mohsen Shekari - Executed for his involvement in protests, specifically for allegedly blocking a street and injuring a member of the Basij militia during the demonstrations following Mahsa Amini's death.

Majidreza Rahnavard - Publicly hanged in November 2022, accused of killing a member of the Basij paramilitary force during the protests.

Mohammad Mehdi Karami - Executed for his alleged role in the death of a Basij member. He was known for being a national karate champion.

Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini was also executed alongside Mohammad Mehdi Karami for the same incident.

Saleh Mirhashemi, Majid Kazemi, Saeed Yaghoobi - These individuals were executed in 2023 for their roles in protests and accused of crimes like "moharebeh" (waging war against God).

Asra Panahi - A 15-year-old girl mentioned in social media posts for her death after allegedly being beaten by the police for refusing to sing praises to Khamenei. However, detailed verification of such incidents can be challenging due to the regime's control over information.

 Jailed or Tortured:

Toomaj Salehi - A rapper arrested for speaking out against the regime and supporting the protests. He faced torture and was imprisoned.

Shervin Hajipour—Known for his song supporting the protests, he was jailed but later released on bail.

Narges Mohammadi - A prominent human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, she has been repeatedly imprisoned. Reports mentioned her being among seventeen female political prisoners attacked by regime forces.

In 1940, the Nazis formed a Dutch branch of the Waffen-SS, recruiting Dutch men to serve in the German military forces. Many of these men were members of or sympathetic to the NSB, and they embraced Nazi ideology, including anti-Semitism. Thousands of Dutch men joined the Waffen-SS and were trained to fight alongside German troops.

- Role in Anti-Jewish Actions: While many Dutch SS recruits fought on the Eastern Front, some served in security operations within the Netherlands, assisting the Gestapo and SD (Security Service) in rounding up Jews, Communists, and other “undesirables.” The Dutch SS members were known for their brutality, often involved in raids on Jewish homes and synagogues.

- Deportation Assistance: Dutch SS forces aided in raids and arrests of Jews, contributing to the effectiveness of the Nazi deportation efforts. Many Dutch Jews, who had been hiding or using false identities, were discovered and captured due to Dutch SS members' cooperation.

 3. Henneicke Column and Economic Collaboration

The Henneicke Column, a group named after its leader, Wim Henneicke, was one of the most notorious collaborators involved in identifying Jews in hiding. Unlike the NSB or SS, the Henneicke Column was not motivated by ideology but rather by financial incentives offered by the Nazi occupiers.

- Bounty Hunters of Jews: The Henneicke Column specialized in tracking down and betraying Jews who were hiding or had gone underground. Each captured Jew resulted in a bounty paid by the German authorities, motivating members to pursue this “work” with zeal.

- Impact on Jewish Deportations: Between March and September 1943, the Henneicke Column captured around 8,000 Jews. Many of those captured were subsequently deported to concentration and extermination camps, including Auschwitz and Sobibor, where they were murdered.

 4. The Role of Local Police and Bureaucratic Collaboration

Beyond the NSB, SS, and Henneicke Column, the Dutch police and civil service also played a critical role in the Nazi’s anti-Jewish policies. Many Dutch police officers, administrators, and other civil servants cooperated with the Germans, either out of fear or in support of Nazi policies.

- Enforcement of Anti-Jewish Measures: Dutch police and bureaucrats were involved in enforcing anti-Jewish laws, including the registration and confiscation of Jewish property, the enforcement of ghettos, and the issuance of identity cards.

- Deportation Support: The Dutch police often assisted in the physical deportation of Jews from their homes to collection points and transit camps like Westerbork, from where Jews were sent to extermination camps. Some police and civil servants, though a minority, actively resisted these measures and aided Jews, but overall, a significant part of the Dutch bureaucratic apparatus contributed to the Nazi persecution.

 5. Impact of Collaboration on Dutch Jewry

Approximately 140,000 Jews lived in the Netherlands at the time of the German invasion. Due to widespread collaboration, including active participation by Dutch fascists and certain segments of the police and bureaucracy, around 75% of Dutch Jews were murdered, one of the highest death rates of Jewish populations in Western Europe.
