Kurdish Sunni cleric from Iran

Abdulrahman Fattahi (Persian: عبدالرحمن فتاحی; Kurdish: عەبدوڕەحمان فەتاحی; 'Ebduřeḧman Fettaḧî), also known as Abu Safiya al-Kurdi (Arabic: أَبُوْ صَفِيَّةُ ٱلْكُرْدِيّْ), is a Kurdish Sunni cleric from Iran. In 2014, he joined Tahrir al-Sham. After the Fall of the Assad regime, he was appointed as the advisor for Iranian affairs.

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. While completing his studies, Fattahi was a member of the Kurdistan Islamic Movement of Osman Abdulaziz, and lived in the Islamic Emirate of Kurdistan. Fattahi completed his studies in 1996, afterwards he returned to Iran and earned his clerical license from Shafi Burhani, and became the imam of Khalifan, Mahabad. In Iran, he was arrested for ties to the Kurdistan Brigades, and detained numerous other times. In 2011, he was sentenced to three years in Gohardasht Prison. After his release in 2014, he left for Syria and joined Al-Nusra Front. Around 3,000 Islamist Kurds had travelled to Syria at that time, with the majority joining Ansar al-Islam, and some joining the Islamic State. However, Fattahi took a different route and joined Al-Nusra Front. Fattahi founded the "Sunni Muhajireen Movement of Iran", which was a predominantly Kurdish group within Al-Nusra Front. There were around 300 Kurds in Al-Nusra Front. Fattahi accompanied Abu Mohammad al-Julani after his split with Al-Qaeda and creation of 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 and advisor for Iranian affairs. Fattahi later gave a speech in Kurdish at the Umayyad Mosque, where he wished for the "freedom of Jerusalem" after Syria, and threatened the Iranian government. After the appointment of Fattahi, al-Julani assured that there would be Kurdish participation in the new Syrian government, claiming that "there will no longer be oppression to our Kurdish people", who he referred to as an "essential part" of Syria who have endured "great oppression". Al-Julani also stated that he sought to return displaced Kurds back to their communities.
