The Worker-Communist Party of Iran - Hekmatist is an opposition Iran ian Political Party in exile. Its founder and current leader is Koorosh Modaressi , its current Vice-Leader is Rahman Hosseinzadeh and its current Chair of the Politbureau is Fateh Sheikh . The group has a military arm, mainly in Iranian Kurdistan , the ''Freedom Guards''. The current commander-in-chief of the Freedom Guards (who is also military adviser to the leader of the party) is Abdollah Darabi . The WPI-Hekmatist was formed in 2004 after a major split from the Worker-Communist Party Of Iran (WPI). More than half of the WPI's Central Committee and almost all of its Kurdistan Committee joined the WPI-Hekmatist. The leadership of Worker-Communist Party Of Iraq also supported this move and it is now the sister party of the WPI-Hekmatist. The group claims to hold more closely to the spirit of Mansoor Hekmat , the WPI's founder, but this claim has denied by the WPI leadership and the dispute betwen the two parties is still ongoing. WPI-H denounce the WPI leadership as enacting a "retreat to the traditional left" and WPI leadership call the WPI-H "a Right-wing split" and sometimes in sarcasm "Anti-Hekmatist". EXTERNAL LINKS
