Talk:Ebrahim Yazdi

message: Immediately after the victory of the 1979 revolution in Iran, the pro-soviet Tudeh party and the leaders fundamentalist Islamic clerical establishment began collaborating to defame the pro-western liberal government of Mehdi Bazargan and Ebrahim Yazdi.  They created and spread many false rumors about the two, including the fabrication that Yazdi was involved in the murder of the late General Rahimi and that he was an agent of the CIA (and that the CIA spearheaded the revolution).  These fabrication have been refuted on many occasions by Yazdi and others.  
These accusations repeatedely show up in this wikipedia article, put in by supporters of the present regime or misguided supports of the late Shah.  Your assistance is kindly requested in removing these libels when you see them.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.71.138.205 (talk) 14:14, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Rahimi/CIA Slander

message: I removed the sentence that stated "He is a virulent anti-Zionist who curried favor with Ruhollah Khomeini during and after the Islamic Revolution."  This statement is potentially libelous.  In addition, it is contradicted by many recent statements, including his recent editorial in the Iranian daily Shargh, in which he condemns the recent comments by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad regarding the Holocaust.  
The terms "virulent" and "curry favor" are imprecise and perjorative.  It would be more accurate to say, with reference, that he has made, at some time in the past, anti-Zionist statements and the he had, at one stage in the Islamic Revolution in Iran of 1978-1979, worked closely with Ruhollah Khomeini.  These last two statements are supported by the references I have cited at the end of the article.  The statement I removed is not.  -- Azadi1385 31 January 2007
The claim that Yazdi was Revolutionary Court's special prosecutor following the revolution of 1979 is libelous and is denied in the book referenced in the bottom of the article entitled "Final Efforts, Final Days". In that book, Yazdi contends that this accusation was made by political rivals at the time in order to slander him. -- Azadi1385 31 January 2007
* "In an address last week to the police academy he [Yazdi] denounced 'Zionist newspapers like the New York Times and TIME' for denigrating Khomeini, adding that Zionism was 'one of the greatest enemies of our revolutionary movement.'"Monday, May. 07, 1979.--Patchouli 14:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  His books 

message: This article contains bogus information about Yazdi, such as the section claiming he was responsible for the execution of generals of the shah. There are also almost no sources on ANY of the sections. I suggest either deleting this article or actually putting some time into writing it.
