Bahism : Its origin and its role.

Publisher's Note:

According to the colonization idea of 'divide and rule' colonialism has alwaystried to use 'religion' as the best weapon for creating disunity and disputeamong the nations. Bahism! the so"called religion! was created in this wayby #ussian and $nglish %mperialism in &((. )enceforth! the followers of thisfaith have tried their best to fulfill the very idea. *oday they are perfectlyrooted in +ionism and %mperialism of America and are wor,ing in collaborationwith them. *o ,now their real position and activities is one of the foremostduties of the -uslims and non"-uslims who want to be discerned with thisimportant issue.

*hough very short! this boo, can help the readers to uncover the realities

and facts about this sect.

Introduction: Motive of Pulication

3ince the early days of establishment of %slamic #epublic system in the 3tate of

%ran! conspiracies have been under way by the superpowers! especially the1reat 3atan 4America4! to brea, up the people's resistance and to overthrowthe system. 3o far! over 700 instances of domestic and foreign plots have beenuncovered and neutralized by the alert people and the responsible organs.$5tensive propaganda by the enemy through imperialistic media and +ionistnews agencies! which have spread their sinister domination over more than67 of the world's propaganda activities! has been a basic pillar of suchconspiracies. Aggrandizing the Bahi issue in %ran! falsifying facts andutilizing such methods as tools to overwhelm public opinion and to scar the holycountenance of the %slamic #evolution hold a special place in the chain lin, ofthe consecutive conspiracies by the enemies of this divine movement. %nparticular! in the wa,e of the enemies' past scandalous defeats in their plots to

overthrow the government and to inflict destruction! the above issue has beenvalued more than ever before! and the affiliated press in different countries!especially $uropean countries and the affiliated international associations! suchas those for defense of )uman #ights as well as those for defense of minoritiesand .... are busy day and night publishing articles and raising untruthful issuesin connection with 4the %ranian Bahis4.

Although the policy adopted by the authorities of the %slamic #epublic in theface of the propaganda wave is not to involve themselves in a propaganda waror neglect their noble ob8ectives of stabilizing the system and to renovate theruins! and on the other hand! the affiliation of this sect to imperialism is so

clear and apparent and the Bahi issue is so negligible and unimportant that itdoes not call for much force! nevertheless! since the false rumors spread bythe imperialist mouth"piece! together with the crocodile tears shed bypretentious western individuals and organizations for groups such as theBahis and the terrorists and ... might cause some unaware people to beaffected by them! we decided to state the facts and uncover the baseless nessof the enemies' unfair propaganda by preparing this boo,let including thehistory and records of this stray faith and their destructive activities togetherwith the relevant documents thereof.

%t should be noted that in this 4summary4 we have not meant to attempt anoverall historical and social analysis of the development of this faith! to find

the roots of the causes thereof or to document the whole activities of thistreacherous political party because a sufficient number of boo,s have beenwritten on this sub8ect! and the e5istence of assemblies of the followers of thissect in various $uropean countries and their connection with international+ionism is so clear and vivid that it obviates the need for any furthere5planation. #ather! our effort has been directed at mentioning their affiliationsince the beginning! with due observance of the principle of 4sampling4! as wellas proving the rightfulness of the %slamic #epublic authorities' manner of

0ith the advent of neocolonialism and the introduction of imperialists toremote countries! a flood of researchers from imperialistic governments!particularly Britain and the 2zarist #ussia! began pouring into %slamic

countries and! under various prete5ts! primarily set to learning the differentdimensions of the culture of the %slamic nations and peoples. -r. )emfer9founder of 0ahabism and the instigator of -ohammad Ben Abdul"0ahab! inhis memoirs! says: 4*he British oreign -inister told me that about 6;;;spies and e5perts on cultural issues had been deployed in the remotest partsof the world to obtain sufficient intelligence on nations and their customs andtraditions4 9from the -emoirs of -r. )emfer.

-ohammad4.

After 3eyed =azem's death! @Al -uammad 3hrz claimed deputyship andattracted some people around himself in %ra/. Among his disciples! there was aman by the name of 3hei,h %ssa an,arani whose real name! according to hisown confessions and the documents published by 2zarist #ussia! was =iniazColgorou,i who! in the beginning! during the rule of at'h Ali 3hah! had beenan employee and a translator of the #ussian $mbassy in *ehran. )e had thengone to #ussia and! upon his return to 1uilan! had introduced himself as a-uslim by the name of %ssa an,arani. 0earing the clergy attire! he went to%ra/ on an intelligence mission for his government to gather intelligence aboutthe above"mentioned circumstances in the %ra/i religious teaching centres.*here he attended the classes taught by @Al -uammad 3hrz who claimedto be the deputy of the absent %mam -ahdi. *his same person 9by the fictitiousname of 3hei,h %ssa was later sent to *ehran as the #ussian ambassador! atwhich time he supported the Bahi movement in %ran and! according toadmissions by Bahis! was the cause of Bah's release from prison.

@Al -uammad 3hrzs psychological disorder! his strong ambitions forleadership! continual instigations by 3hei,h %ssa 9Colgorou,i! and thesusceptible circumstances created by 3ayyid =azim #ashti all united to induceAli -ohammad to proclaim himself the 8ustice"administering world saviour bypretending to be the 4Promised -ahdi of %slam4! and thereby attract thewretched and oppressed people to his beguiling mirage! which caused threecivil wars in three sensitive regions of our country and shed much blood.

%n his confessions in this respect! -r. Colgorou,i has written: 4... % graduallyapproached him and became one of his closest friends. % invited him to myhouse several times! where % mi5ed his water"pipe tobacco with %ndian hemp

8uice and hashish. Curing his ecstatic moods % encouraged him to stand upagainst the 3hia mullahs and to claim superiority.4

3uch circumstances gave rise to Ali -ohammad's claim of -ahdism and evenprophecy and divinity and so a new sect called 4Babism4 9which laterchanged to Bahism by -rz usayn"@Al's claim was created by @Al-uammad 3hrz and! in fact! under the leadership of the #ussian spy. Ali-ohammad Bb's propagation of superstitious and sacreligious ideas sent himto prison. )owever he was released from prison by -anouchehr =han-otamedodoleh! the governor of %sfahan who was born an Armenian and wasfrom 1eorgia in #ussia and! with the #ussian 1overnment's help! had

penetrated the Da8ar establishment as an enemy and had a deep disli,e for%sfahan's 3hia mullahs. -anouchehr =han brought Bb to %sfahan and providedhim with propaganda facilities. As stated in 43ummarized )istory4 by Nabil+arandi! 4-anouchehr =han himself endeavoured hard to spread the faith4.Colgorou,i has written in his boo,: 4As soon as % received information that Bbhad arrived in %sfahan! % wrote a friendly letter to %sfahan 1overnor-otamedodoleh! as,ing him to protect him as my good! respected friend.4

As is evident! the agents of 2zarist #ussian government spared no effort to


6/84

protect him and to spread the new faith. $ven when! under pressure from%ranian mullahs and the people of %sfahan! the then Prime -inister! -irzaAghasi! in a letter to the governor of %sfahan! ordered him to arrest and e5ileBb to -a,u! -anouchehr =han refused to enforce the order. 43ayyah'sPersonal -emoirs4! a boo, written by Abbas $ffendi 9the third Bahi leader!states on page &E: 4... F-anouchehr =hanG sent him out of %sfahan with agroup of his riders. 0hen they reached -ourcheh,hort! they were secretlyordered to return to %sfahan! where he securely sheltered him in his ownhouse.4

*his fact was divulged after -anouchehr =han's death! when Bb was e5iled to-a,u. After some time he was imprisoned in the 2hehrig 2astle! and finally in&6;! he was hanged in *abriz after trial. Although Bb e5pressly repentedtwice! his real instigators! the #ussian agents! did not allow the disturbance todie down and! even to his death! encouraged him to ma,e baseless claims ofdisuniting effect.

Curing @Al -uammad 3hrz's imprisonment! unpleasant events too, placeat the hands of Babis in +an8an. 1hazvin and -azandaran at foreign instigationand by the ma,ings of people such as -irza )ossein Ali 9a pleasure"see,ing%ranian who too, over the leadership of this new religion! claimed Babism andlater claimed to be Bahullh and even 1od as well as a prostitute by thename of Daralein. )istory is ashamed to relate such events. *he blood ofhundreds of innocent men! women and children was spilled. *he politicaldisorder at the time! the 3hah's chronic illness! repercussions of the instabilityof his reign! the Da8ar family's /uarrels over the throne! the e5istence ofignorant and oppressive governors and incompetent clergy! prevalence ofreligious gains! the uprising by the Afghan people!

British and rench embassies in %ran! and riots by the people of=horassan against the ruling prince created such an atmosphere that enabledthe Babis to strengthen themselves and thereby give rise to the bloody eventsat 3hei,h *abassi 2astle as well as the tragic events in *abriz and +an8an. Amir=abir who sensed British and #ussian imperialism to be behind such events!decided to crush them. )owever! in the wa,e of his death! foreign embassiesproceeded with their schemes until 3hawal &>E 9August &6> when theBabis tried in vain to assissinate Nassereddin 3hah. ollowing this attempt.-rz usayn"@Al was arrested! convicted and senteced to death. )owever! hewas released from prison at the #ussian ambassador's support and mediation

and was saved from certain death at the recommendation of $mperorNicoleevitch Ale5ander ll4 9& whereupon he was e5iled to %ra/ with theremnants of the Babis.

Bahism $as incepted "% and has al$a"s een a tool of%imperialism

As was stated above! this sect was originally created to serve the ob8ectives ofthe 2zarist #ussian government. According to Colgorou,i's admission! the

original impetus behind @Al -uammad 3hrz's fabricated claims! was his9Colgorou,i's very person who! in the clerical attire and with the fictitiousname of 43hei,h %ssa4! carried out his mission to ma,e religion. 3ayyid =azim#ashti! who was Ali -ohammad's teacher! was also a #ussian agent. All throughthe course of events which have ta,en place since the creation of this sect!footmar,s of the imperialist governments and the #ussian and Britishembassies in %ran! %ra/ *ur,ey and Palestine are clearly in evidence. By relyingon credible history boo,s and particularly those of the Bahis themselves!some instances of such facts are mentioned hereunder:

A. 3pread of Bahism in %ran by the #ussian agent penetrating the Da8arestablishment! -r. -anouchehr =han! governor of %sfahan! which wasmentioned in the previous section.

B. %mperialist support tor Bahi rioters in %ran:

(a) Abbot! the British government envoy who passed through +an8anat the time of the Bahi riots! has written in his memoirsI

"...Mullah Mohammad Ali, leader of the fanatic group of theZanjan Babis, told his followers !o not be afraid to fight, and heassured them that the #ussian government would come to theiraid."

(b) Not only the British envoy but also the Bahi officials havespo,en of the relationship with pride. *he author of 4J! mentioning Abbot's statement! writes:

"...$is %&cellenc' $ojat (Mullah Mohammad Ali Zanjani) wasdisappointed with Amir *+abir.... $e therefore wrote someletters to ministers of foreign governments, telling them abouthimself. -o the' interceded for him with Amir who did not acceptthe intercession. ... heard that one of the faults that the #ussianmonarch had ta/en with Amir, which had caused his dismissal,

was the murder of the oppressed d'nast'. An'wa', after that the#ussian and #oman envo's came to see $is %&cellenc' $ojat..."

(c) %n this connection 9the +an8an incidence the British Ambassadorhas written:

"Mullah Mohammad A$ (leader of the Zanjan Bah1is), theoutstanding clerg'man from Zanjan, sent me a letter begging me


9/84

to put in a good word for him with the government."

(!ocuments published b' the British 2oreign Ministr', -hill to3almerstone, 4ul' 55, 680, Britain 90:685)

(d) 3hill 9the British ambassador! responding to -ullah -ohammad

Ali's plea! in a letter to Amir =abir to prevent e5ecution of theBahi leaders involved in the +an8an disturbance! wrote:

"...Babias riots have caused man' deaths including that of man'rioters. ;ith the intellectualit' /now 'ou possess, it would notbe justifiable to e&ecute these few or to e&ercise an' prejudiceagainst the belief of an' sect."

(Britain 90:68< = -hill to 3almerstone, March 6>, 686).

As is evident! not only do imperialist Britain and its allies show to,en support for

terrorists and cry crocodile tears for their e5ecution today! but in the past! theyused to show off such sympathies and! by mediation and writing letters! tried toprotect their fostered clients when they became captive to the people's wrath! andthat for such persons! the mention of an e5ample of whose countless atrocitiesrepresents their characters.

4... ?he' e&pelled one third of the people of the town (Zanjan)who continued to adhere to the -hia religion (believing in the 65mams) and disagreed with the Babis in that respect.

B. -irza )usain @Ali Bah's daughter wrote to Blanfid about the role playedby the #ussian embassy to release her father! as verified by Abbas $ffendiand the Bahi community in ondon: 4... *he #ussian 2onsul rose withoutthe slightest fear and! addressing the members of Bah's court of trial!said:'... % have decided to bring this innocent nobleman 9Bah under the#ussian 1overnment's protection. 3o! bewareM %f any harm should befallhim! streams of blood will run in this city in your punishment... =now that

Allenby during an official ceremony. 9E

%n this connection! Blomfield writes on page >&(: 4... *he British 1overnmenthonoured @Abdul"Bah with a ,nighthood! which he accepted as a gesture ofhonouring formality from a 8ust ,ing.4

3hoghi $ffendi writes on page > of od 3asses B' 4After the end of the warand... officials of the British 1overnment! gratified by the valuable servicesrendered by )is )oliness @Abdul"Bah during those days! e5tended their

Note how this impostrous religious hypocrite had interpreted theaggression of the British forces and the defeat of the -uslims in

terms of 4erection of the tabernacle of 8ustice4! how he than,edand praised 1od! how he esteemed the British $mperor and howhe prayed to 1od for continuation of the British rule over the%slamic territory of Palestine.

*he following cable was sent to )aifa by the British 2olonial 3ecretary0inston 2hurchill:

1eneral 2ongreve! 1eneral 3ir Arthur -onye and other officials of the British1overnment! too! communicated similar cables 9! and finally! 3ir )erbert3amuel and 3ir #onald 3torrs attended his funeral on behalf of the British1overnment. 9

3uch were some scenes of the remote past. Now! after the lapse of long years!there are clear evidences! which indicate Bahism! its leaders and its followersare totally at the service of international +ionism and western imperialism.3ome such evidences are cited below:


16/84

0. *he Bahi Role in -etting up the 1uds/Occup"ingRegime 2Israel3

At about the same time as implementation of the +ionists' sinister plans forHewish migration to Herusalem! the Bahis co"operated in every way to e5ert

pressure on the Arabs. 3hoghi $ffendi! the fourth Bahi leader! wrote a cablereading: 4*he relative number of people in that community 9British Bahis!who have migrated! has been unprecedented in any other community. *heBritish Bahi community has performed its historic mission very well.49A,hbar"i Amri"yi magazine! news letter of the %ranian Bahi community!dated Huly >E! &6;.

At a time when the +ionists were pressuring the nited Nations to give officialstatus to their usurpant government! -r. 3hoghi $ffendi! in a letter to thenited Nations on behalf of the Palestinians! which was published in theA,hbar"i Amri"yi magazine No. O! has not in any way defended the rights of thepeople of that occupied territory! but has emphasized his sincere relationshipswith the Hews and the necessity thereof and has supported their plans foroccupation.

*he Bahi establishment is today centered in %srael! in the city of )aifa! nearthe grave of Abbas $ffendi. %ts leadership is entrusted to nine persons! mostlyAmerican and $uropean! of whom one American woman! #Qhyyih -a5well! isthe spiritual leader. *here are! in %srael! branches of every Bahi organizationand interest anywhere in the world! which are controlled by the nine"memberbody or so"called 4)ouse of Hustice4.

4. 'ollo$ing the formation of the 5ionist government%Bahism has een the e6ecutor of the 5ionist aimsthroughout the $orld:

$ver since the nited Nations granted official status to the %sraeli government!

Bahism and +ionism! which are both offsprings of colonialism! came to eachother's aid li,e two dear brothers. 3ince then! Bahism has been a centre atthe disposal of the +ionists! and their assemblies throughout the world havecarried out the orders received from occupied Palestine:

A,hbar"i Amri"yi magazine 9the Bahi organ dated April &!&6( reads: "?he sraeli president and his wife Mrs. Ben Zo' paida scheduled visit to the hol' sites of Mount Earmel, following thereception given in their honour at the home of $is $olinessFAbdu1l=Bah."

*he edition dated Hune >(! &6( of the same magazine reads:"?he *sraeli overnments relations with $is $oliness DaliAmrullah and the nternational Bah1i !elegation is friendl' andsincere. t is a pleasure that successes have been achieved inrecognition of the faith in the hol' land."

-any years ago! the following statement appeared in the official Bahipublication in %ran: ";e are ver' proud and pleased to announce to theBah1is the e&pansion and development of relations between Bah1ism andthe officials of the sraeli overnment.4 9&&

At about the same time! the Bahi representatives had meetings with %sraeli

Prime -inister Ben 1urion! at which they e5pressed their gratitude andappreciation towards the %sraeli 1overnment! as well as the Bahis' sincerefeelings and emotions towards him! wishing for the primacy and progress of the%sraeli 1overnment.9&&Ben 1urion had said: "hope the Bah1i ;orld Eentrein the -tate of srael will alwa's prove to be increasingl' effective in thecountr's progress and eminence and in the peoplesprosperit'. -ince theinception of the -tate of srael, the Bah1is have alwa's had sincere relationswith the sraeli overnment". 9&>

Cr. atifullah )a,im! a member of the %nternational Bahi Celegation in%srael! in a letter to the %ranian Bahi community! wrote: "?hese da's thesraeli papers, whether in $ebrew, Arabic or %nglish, publish detailed articleson the Bah1i religion and $is $oliness."


18/84

2ooperation between these two anti"%slamic groups is also witnessed inpractice. Bahism is legal and officially recognized in %srael. All its landedproperties and endowments are e5empt from government ta5ation andduties. $ven the imports re/uired by Bahis en8oy e5emption from customsduties. Publication of Bahi news in the %sraeli newspapers and their broadcaston #adio %srael are authorized. #adio %srael sometimes even congratulates theBahis on the occasion of their festivities. *he %sraeli -inistry of $ducationrelieves the Bahi students from attending school on their holidays 9&6 andthousands of clandestine and un,nown relationships that remain secret to us.

*he Bahis' co"operation with the newly"arrived +ionists was so apparent that1amal Abdul"Nasser ordered the removal of all Bahi communities in $gypt.*he 4Bureau for Boycott of %srael4! organized by the %slamic countries!sub8ected the Bahis to the boycott for co"operating with %srael.

As the final e5ample and document! mention is made of -rs. #Qhyyih -a5well'spress conference! in which she said: 4% prefer to have the youngest religion!

Bahism! germinate in the newest country of the world! %srael. 0e belong to!and depend on! this country! %srael. %ndeed! % should say that ours and %srael'sfuture are interlin,ed li,e a chain.4 9&E

%t can be said with certainty that: *he fabricated! moc, Bahi faith! that hasbeen instrumental in sowing discord and disunion among the -uslim peopleduring its hundred"and"thirty year history! is afforded the same functiontoday. Hust as the British 1overnment once wanted Bah! the Bahi leader! togo to %ndia 9&O or the rench 1overnment re/uested to have Bahimissionaries dispatched to North African countries! such as *unisia! -oroccoand Algeria! which were then under its colonial rule 9&! the western imperialistgovernments today are endeavouring to use Bahism as a prete5t to forge a

propaganda weapon against the %slamic #epublic of %ran. )owever! 8ust asfactual realities do not remain concealed for ever! and manipulation of factscannot be permanently effective! their conspiracies shall be frustrated andshall prove futile! 1od willing.

As evidenced by the documents presented in the ne5t section! Bahism playeda part in all the terrible crimes by the sinister Pahlavi -onarchy throughout itsreign! and it has strengthened the usurpant regime of %srael with its materialand moral support.

ollowing the triumph of the %slamic #evolution! too! the Bahis acted as

agents of %srael and .3.A. in %ran and too, part in conspiracies! thedocuments of which have been provided by 8udicial authorities on variousoccasions.

Bahism is a political part" $ith imperialist affiliations%not a religious or cultural faith

*he Bahis have tried from the beginning to present their faith asindependent of politics! to afford it a merely religious and ideological aspect! to

consider themselves as advocate of the principle of non"intervention in politicalaffairs and have always placed the above motto at the top of all their plans andwritings. Nevertheless! as evidenced by the following arguments and theevents throughout the past and present history of this sect! not only have theyintervened in politics! but they are also essentially an imperialist"inspiredpolitical party.

All the %ranian people and the officials of the %slamic #epublic of %ran! based ontheir having sensed at close hand the uncountable crimes committed by the

followers of this sect throughout their country's undulating history! as well as onthe evidence provided by history and the documents! of which a handful wasreferred to hereinabove! consider Bahism as a politico"imperialist platform.*hey neither have recognized the Bahi followers as a religious minority norwill ever permit the propagation of their nonsense and false reports which! dueto the treacherous nature of this political party! would be a prelude to thepremise of renewed penetration by American and %sraeli spies into %ran.

Lears of treason! duplicity! crime! corruption and bloodshed by the leaders ofthis treacherous party have been enough for our nation. *herefore! any effortby western governments and the enemies of the %slamic #evolution to e5ertpressure to allow these traitors to resume activity will be in vain. Hust as it hasremoved one by one all the imperialists' espionage bases in %ran! the %slamic#epublic is firmly determined with all its power to crush the +ionist espionagedens acting under cover of reemasonry! Bahism! etc. Hust as theconspiracies by the 1reat 3atan during the heroic action by the -uslimstudents following the %mam's ine and the pressures by its western allies failedto have the least effect on our people's steel will! the ridiculous spectacles by+ionists and escaped Bahis and the outcry by the western press will not beable to aid the Bahis reared by them or to prevent the complete elimination ofthe negligible! crumbling organization of the leaders of this treacherous party.

)owever! such a firm position does not mean that the rights of the few

uninformed and deceived followers of this faith who! under the influence of themany intrigues and economic pressures by its leaders! have 8oined Bahism!will be neglected. ortunately! as a result of the atmosphere of freedomprevailing in the %slamic community! the fair approach by the -uslim people of%ran! the revelations and guidance by the promoters of %slam! many of them!having recognized the imperialist nature of this moc, faith! have returned to thebosom of the people and %slam. %t is hoped that the very few remainingdeceived persons will gradually realize the truth and will free themselves fromthe claws of this treacherous party reared by +ionism.

86ecution of Bahis

%t is essential that we clarify our position vis"a"vis the rumour concerning4e5ecution of Bahis in %ran for believing in Bahism4 which is spread by theworld's imperialist newsmongers.

0e do not e5pect anything else from the imperialist propaganda octopus. %t wasthese same news media which e5plained away .3. crimes in ?ietnam!Nicaragua! $l 3alvador and all over the *hird 0orld! the murders and openaggressions by Britain and rance against the people of %ndia! Algeria!-orocco! %reland and hundreds of other spots! as well as the savagebombardments by the Duds"occupying regime in ebanon and their seizure ofthe homes of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. *hese very news mediaglorified 6; years of crime! thievery and plunder by the 3hah's regime in thename of struggle to achieve great civilization. %t is these same media that arenow conducting a full"fledged campaign against the %slamic #epublic of %ran!

8ustifying 3addam's aggression against our %slamic home"land. And it is these

same blatant imperialist media which have presented -assoud #a8avi! theterrorist! and Bani 3adr! the traitor! as progressive liberals! shed tears of pityfor the death of terrorists! and instigate the world public opinion against us. %tis therefore only natural that they should ta,e advantage of the e5ecution of afew spies and conspirators as a prete5t for further attac,s against the %slamic#evolution.

)owever! we address here the communities which unfortunately receive theirnews through this same imperialist news networ,! and based on this entirelyfalse and spiteful propaganda! ma,e protestations against the %slamic #epublicas to why Bahis are e5ecuted merely for believing in something. 0e hereby

clearly declare to all the free thin,ers of the world that all these reports areutterly false! and there has not been a single instance in %ran where a personhas been e5ecuted or even imprisoned or indicted on charges of harbouringcertain beliefs. *his practice is based on an e5plicit principle of the2onstitutional aw which provides:

"nHuisition into peoples opinions shall be forbidden, and no one shallbe offended or brought to account merel' for having a certain opinion." "

Article 5I of the Eonstitutional Jaw of the slamic #epublic of ran.

But it is natural that in %ran! li,e any country in the world! no one will beallowed to commit espionage! treason or conspiracy! regardless of his religious

or political beliefs. All the Bahis! who have been condemned to imprisonmentor death by the #evolutionary 2ourts! and who number but a handful! havebeen persons! who had ,ey roles in public slaughters and were the ma8orelements in holding the regime during the 3hah's time! such as )oveydaand...! or who were involved in plots to overthrow the %slamic #epublic systemafter the triumph of the %slamic #evolution! or persons who mostly spied for%srael! the usurper! and strengthened the Duds"usurping regime with theirmaterial and moral assistance! transferring millions in foreign currency to the
