Gurgán
From Bahaikipedia
Gurgán is a separate province to the east of Mázandarán. There were a number of Bahá'ís in Astarábád and Bandar Jaz. Mírzá Áqá Mírzá Javád I`timádu't-Tujjár was a prominent Bahá'í of Bandar Jaz. In 1336/1917, a new mujtahid arrived in the town and issued a death sentence against all of the Bahá'ís and Áqá Mírzá Javád was killed in a general assault on the Bahá'ís. Another prominent Bahá'í was Mírzá `Alí-Akbar Khán Maní`u's-Sultán (d. 1335/1915) who was head of the customs.
