Mírzá Taqi K̲h̲án-i-Faráhání. Grand Visier of Náṣiri'd-Dín S̲h̲ah, known as Amír Kabír (the Great Emir). He was a great reformer, but a bitter enemy of the Bábí Faith. Mírzá Taqi K̲h̲án wielded power while the S̲h̲ah was a boy and determined to stamp out the Faith of the Báb. He was involved in the lengthy persecution of the Bábís at Fort Ṭabarsí, Nayríz and Zanján; the murder of the Seven Martyrs of Ṭihrán; and he gave the order for the execution of the Báb. Mírzá Taqi K̲h̲án eventually lost his position and the S̲h̲ah, jealous of his power, order him to be murdered.
[BD 221]
