Seyyed Hossein Emami (born 1303; died 1328) was a member of the Fadayan Islam group. Along with his brother Ali Mohammad, he killed Ahmad Kasravi with a knife on March 20, 1324, in the Palace of Justice, but he was released from prison at the insistence of the authorities at the time, including Abdul Hossein Hajir. Four years later, Seyyed Hossein Emami killed Hajir, who was the minister of the court, during the Muharram prayer ceremony of Sepahsalar Mosque on November 13, 1328, and was executed for the same crime.
In the memoirs of Shaaban Jafari, we read about him: For example, Seyyed Hossein and Seyyed Ali Emami, who killed Ahmed Kasravi, as I heard then, came to Kashani’s house and left. But it was not by the order of Ayatollah Kashani that the Justice and Sayyid Hossein killed themselves and Sayyid Ali, his secretary [Hadadpour]. For a while at our place, on Bozarjamhari Street, they were selling cloth and Marcheh. Seyyed Hossein was a very beautiful child, with blonde hair and so on.
