Son of Mohammad Javad Rafiqdoust, Reza Rafiqdoust sits on the board of Islamic Coalition Martyrs’ Cultural Institution (see above) as well as Anvar Sobhan Tehran, which according to public records “establishes private schools at every level from kindergarten, and elementary, to middle school and high school as well as art school.”

Mohammad Javad was one of the founding members of the Islamic Coalition Party and played an important role in opening the Refah School where Rouhollah Khomeini stayed upon returning to Iran following the 1979 Revolution. Khomeini stayed on the third floor while the second and first floors as well as the school’s basement were filled with prisoners. Sadeq Khalkhali, whom Khomeini later appointed as the chief justice of the Revolutionary Courts, sentenced 30 of the Pahlavi-era officials they were holding at the school to death, executing four of them on the rooftop.

Before his death, Mohammad Javad was a trustee and board chairman of Rah-e Shayestegan Institute. He was also the treasurer of the Refah Cultural Bonyad.
