📅 15 Ougùstùs 1852 📍 Iran

A group of Bábís attempted to assassinate the Shah near Niyavaran. The attempt failed; state reprisals followed against Bábís and others, including the killing of Táhirih and the torture and execution of prominent figures. This entry distinguishes the attackers’ action from the much broader state violence that followed. Date note: Date is commonly given as 15 August; individual details and culpability in the aftermath should be treated carefully.
