Information on an organization called the Iranian Monarchist Council of Canada whose mailing address is P.O. Box 278, Station 'A', Willowdale, Ontario, M2N 5S7 [CAN21089.E]

During a telephone interview on 18 July 1995, a member of the Constitutionalist Movement of Iran-Front Line in Eastern Canada in Toronto provided the following information.

The Iranian Monarchist Council of Canada (IMCC), also known as Shora-e Saltanat-talaban-e Iran dar Kanada, was founded in 1988. It advocates political struggle against the Iranian regime. The IMCC leader is Nasser Gobadpour, who is also the leader of the Constitutionalist Movement of Iran-Front Line in Eastern Canada, also known as Sazeman-e Mashrote-khahan-e Iran, "Khate Moghadam," Shakh-e Sharghe Kanada. The latter is also a monarchist organization which is independent from the IMCC and has branches in other countries. These organizations, whose headquarters are in London, are not yet registered in Canada, but steps have been taken for their registration.

The two mentioned organizations seek the overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the re-establishment of constitutional monarchy led by Reza Shah II, the enforcement of the international human rights charter and the guarantee of personal and social freedoms for Iranians.

The attached press release of the Constitutionalist Movement of Iran-Front Line, which refers to a recent assassination attempt on Nasser Gobadpour, might be useful.
