Shiraz pogrom or Shiraz blood libel of 1910 was a pogrom of the Jewish quarter in Shiraz, Iran, on October 30, 1910, organized by the Qavam family[1] and sparked by accusations that the Jews had ritually killed a Muslim girl. In the course of the pogrom, 12 Jews were killed and about 50 were injured,[2] and 6,000 Jews of Shiraz were robbed of all their possessions.[3][4] The event was documented by the representative of the Alliance Israélite Universelle in Shiraz.
