Morteza Niknejad (Persian: مرتضی نیک‌نژاد) was an Iranian Shia Twelver[1][2] who was a member of Islamic Coalition Party.[3][4][5] Niknejad was born in 1942 in the south of Tehran in a religious family; he too was a religious person since his adolescence. Morteza passed his primary-school, and later commenced working at the market—as a Galesh seller.[6]

Niknejad[7][8][9] got acquainted with Reza Saffar-Harandi and Mohammad Bokharaei, and altogether got familiar with Islamic Coalition Party. He was a practical supporter of Mohammad-Bokharaei (in the assassination of Hassan Ali Mansur, the prime minister of the Shah). Afterwards, he was arrested, and later executed by the regime of the Shah on 16 June 1965[10] beside his three colleagues, namely: Mohammad Bokharaei, Sadeq Amani and Reza Saffar-Harandi, who were charged with "participation in the assassinating of Hassan Ali Mansur".[11]
