History

The Organization of the Iranian People's Feda'I Guerilla (Sazman-e Charikh-ye Feda'I-ye Khalq-e Iran) was formed in the 1960s by the clandestine Marxist-Leninist circles of Iran; they adopted an armed resistance and confrontation with the existing regime in Iran; OIPFG made its existence known by an armed incursion at the Siahkal Gendarmerie post in 1971; most of the leaders of the organization were killed or executed either during armed confrontations or after persecutions, and some of them were imprisoned; after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 the OIPFG changed its status and begun its activities as a non-clandestine organization; however, after some time it faced internal crises and splits; finally following the OIPFG's dissolution of 1980 the organization was divided into different organizations, the Aksaryat (Majority) and Aqualiat (Minority) with two different policies.
