Biography
Fattahi was born in the early 1950s in Sulgheh, a village near Mahabad in Iranian Kurdistan. In the 1970s, he travelled to Iraqi Kurdistan and began his studies under Abdulqadir Tawhidi, which he completed in 1996. While completing his studies, Fattahi was a member of the Kurdistan Islamic Movement of Osman Abdulaziz, and lived in the Islamic Emirate of Kurdistan. He returned to Iran in the late 1990s, where he got his clerical license from Shafi Burhani, and became the imam of Khalifan, Mahabad. He was arrested for ties to the Kurdistan Brigades, and detained numerous other times, with a three year prison sentence 2011 in Gohardasht Prison. In 2014, after his release, he left for Syria and joined Al-Nusra Front. He was part of a group of around 3,000 Kurds who travelled to Syria. The vast majority of those Kurds joined either Ansar al-Islam or the Islamic State. Fattahi and around 300 other Kurds joined Al-Nusra Front, where Fattahi founded the "Sunni Muhajireen Movement of Iran", a predominantly Kurdish group within Al-Nusra Front and later HTS. Throughout the Syrian civil war, Fattahi lived in Idlib, where he served as a Sharia judge. After the Fall of the Assad regime, he was appointed by Abu Mohammad al-Julani as his deputy of Iranian affairs. After his appointment, he gave a public speech in Kurdish at the Umayyad Mosque, where he wished for the "freedom of Jerusalem" and threatened the Iranian government.
