The Enemies List: Institutions that frighten the regime

“Cooperating and signing contracts with these foundations and institutions, which are conducting soft warfare against Iran, is illegal, and receiving facilities from them is also prohibited,” PressTV quotes Iran’s deputy intelligence minister as having said.

The list (article in Persian here) appears to have been drawn up from interrogations with reformists, activists, business people, academics, and scientists. More than anything, what it shows is the deep paranoia of this regime and their insecure hold on power. This insecurity puts many in danger. This may, in fact, be the most dangerous time for citizens of Iran since the 1980s when thousands were executed. In addition, it reveals that they have decided to no longer pretend to aspire to democracy, even an Islamic democracy. Human rights, academic freedom, and even peaceful conflict resolution are activities they can no longer consider.
