Document #1290722
IRB – Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (Author)
A representative of the Secretariat of His
Majesty Reza II, Shah of Iran, in Falls Church, Virginia, provided
the following information during a telephone interview on 5
December 1996.
Reza Pahlavi II and Dr. Ganji did not enter
into a coalition or create an organization in 1994. All individuals
who have political activities against the current government of
Iran could meet Reza Pahlavi II whenever there is a necessity.
Within this context, Dr. Ganji requested to meet his majesty in
1994, and was given permission. Dr. Ganji has been active in human
rights affairs pertaining to Iran. Such activities have been
supported by Reza Pahlavi and will be supported as long as they
continue.
This Response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum.
