The exiled son of Iran’s last shah announced a new committee to lay the groundwork for a future truth commission in Iran and named a Nobel Peace Prize winner to lead it.
US-based Reza Pahlavi, who wields influence among the diaspora but holds no official position, said that the transitional justice committee would draft “regulations for a truth-finding commission and court”.
The team would seek justice for “victims of injustice, torture and repression by the Islamic Republic”.
He wrote on X that Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi would lead the committee of “experienced Iranian experts spanning four different generations”. (AFP)
