Just before the coup d'état in 1953 the Western publications, including Newsweek, reported that Lotfi was one of communists who were dangerous threats for Iran.[4] The other cabinet members who were also regarded as communist threats were Mehdi Azar and Hossein Fatemi.[4] On 2 September 1953 Lotfi and Mehdi Azar were arrested by the military governorate.[5] Lotfi was sentenced to prison terms.[6] After being released from the prison Lotfi was attacked by the anti-Mosaddegh groups and died following the incident.[6]
