Iran: reading material

Iran Human Rights Documentation Center published a report (pdf) about the illegal practices of nahadhayih ittila’tiyih muvazi, or Parallel Intelligence Apparatus (PIA), which is linked to numerous governmental agencies and branches of Iran and effectively operated under the authority of Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei during the Presidency of reformist Khatami.
During this period, the clandestine activities of the PIA aided the conservatives in their efforts to retain governmental powers.
Members of the PIA were responsible for the intimidation and silencing of reformists, political dissidents and critics.
Their primary targets were journalists, webloggers and student activists.
The 78-page report provides an in-depth factual and legal analysis of the illegal activities of the PIA and is also based on documents and witness-statements.
Although PIA activities later decreased as a result of the closing ideological gap between the Office of the Supreme Leader and President Ahmadinejad, there is no reason to believe the political balance between reformists and conservatives will remain forever static.
