During the Iranian Revolution, on 13 May 1978, the Piruz incident took place near Piruz, when several students travelling by bus from Malayer were stopped at an army check point and shot. On several demonstrations in Hamadan Province the punishment of the soldiers was demanded, but only one of the soldiers was sentenced.[3]
