00.11.2001 – ACCORD: No activities of monarchist groups inside Iran ("7th European Country of Origin Information Seminar Berlin, 11 - 12 June 2001: Final Report - Iran") [#7661],  [ID 9378]

"Although often Iranian asylum seekers claim to have carried out activities for either nationalist or monarchist groups inside Iran (distributing pamphlets, putting up posters, organizing resistance etc...) there is no evidence of any such activities inside Iran. Occasionally urban professionals such as lawyers or doctors who have a fax machine
receive unwelcome and unsolicited fax messages from abroad with monarchist or secular nationalist messages.

There are, however, numerous monarchist splinter groups in many of the European countries, that have lost all sense of reality with respect to Iran. Some are not more than coffee gatherings, others try to pursue some structured activities with members, admission fees, occasional publications, contact with the exile community and with recent arrivals from Iran, some are slightly more active such as the Derafsh-e Kaviani
led by former Minister Manouchehr Ganji, but in fact none of these organizations are known in Iran or have activities inside the country."
