And you are right, if these supporters of IR are not being paid by the regime directly, then they are really missing out!

This is a comment left on Azarmehr’s blog by Parkhash about this guy Edalat:

Who is Abbas Edalat? See below:

Let me tell you what Abbas Edalat has been doing for the last 25 or more years.

As a former anti-shah activist in the confederation of Iranian students he enjoyed a Pahlavi foundation-funded education at Berkeley and when the Shah was toppled he migrated to the UK and studied for his PhD, at Warwick university followed by becoming a researcher at Imperial college. Politically he used to be a follower of Fedayeen-e khalgh, of course the champaign Marxist type. All these years he has worked in favour of the islamic regime’s interests so much so that now in partnership with Kamran Elahian (a Bahai entrepreneur in the US) he is providing IT technologies to Iran. He is extremely jealous of all successful Iranians particularly those in universities. As luck had it, and despite being simply a researcher and not a lecturer, thanks to the British universities love affair with academics of ethnic minorities, he got a “research professorship” to balance the equal opportunities quota! To give you an idea about his connections, Edalat’s partner is Massoumeh Torfeh, an editor of the BBC’s Farsi program. Edalat frequently travels to Iran and receives VIP treatment by his hosts in both universities and the government.

The real traitor who organised it is Shirin Saeidi, a PhD student at Cambridge and a member of CASMII, who organised this through convincing the Cambridge Persian Society.
