» THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE, THOUGHT, AND RELIGION

Author: Reza Afshari
Published: August 1, 2001
Type: Book chapter

The present text is chapter 7 of Human Rights in Iran, The Abuse of Cultural Relativism by Reza Afshari. Dr. Afshari, a Professor of History and Human Rights at Pace University, investigates how Islamic culture and Iranian politics since the fall of the Shah have affected human rights policy in that state. He exposes the human rights violations committed by ruling clerics in Iran since the Revolution, showing that Iran has behaved remarkably like other authoritarian governments in its human rights abuses. For over two decades, Iran has systematically jailed, tortured, and executed dissidents without due process of law and assassinated political opponents outside state borders. Furthermore, like other oppressive states, Iran has regularly denied and countered the charges made by United Nations human rights monitors, defending its acts as authentic cultural practices. In the present chapter, Reza Afshari analyzes the nature of the Islamic Republic's penitentiary and its ambition to control the minds and souls of the detainees.
