Young Communist League of Persia

The Young Communist League of Persia (Persian: اتحادیه جوانان کمونیست ایران) was a communist youth organization in Iran. The organization was founded during the Gilan Revolution, following the July 31, 1920 split between the communist and non-communist Jangali factions. The YCL of Persia carried out agitation and propaganda activities, as well as armed actions against the followers of Kuchik Khan.[1][2] The organization was dissolved following the defeat of the Gilan Soviet Socialist Republic.[3]

In 1927, several communist youth groups merged to reconstitute the YCL of Persia as a section of the Young Communist International.[3] The reconstituted organization was suppressed alongside other left-wing groups in the autumn of 1928.[4]
