Sattarkhan Qaracheh Daghizadeh

(18 October 1245 – died 15 November 1293 shamsi)

He is one of the commanders of the Iranian Constitutional Movement, nicknamed Sardar Melli. He stood against the anti-constitutional government forces in Tabriz. Sattar Khan, the third son of Haj Hassan Qaradaghi, was born on October 18, 1245, in the village of Sardarkandi in the city of Varzaghan. He stood up to the massive army of Mohammad Ali Shah, who had been sent to Azerbaijan to expel and arrest the constitutionalists of Tabriz after shelling and closing the National Assembly, and laid the foundation for resistance. Sattar Khan called the people against the government army and took over its leadership himself. Together with other mujahideen and Bagher Khan – the national leader – he resisted the government forces for a year and did not let Tabriz fall into the hands of the supporters of Mohammad Ali Shah. His disagreement with the Qajar kings and his protest against their oppression went back to his childhood.
