Haji Baba Sheikh

Haji Baba Sheikh (Kurdish: Hacî Baba Şêx - Bukan‎) was the prime minister of the Republic of Mahabad. After the republic was conquered by the Iranian army in 1947, unlike Qazi Muhammad, he was not executed. He was immune because of his religious standing. The journalist and lyric Hemin Mukriyani was his secretary during the republic.
