Radio Zamaneh: Ezzatollah Sahabi, the head of Iran’s Nationalist-Religious Coalition, died this morning at the age of 81 in Moddares hospital in Tehran. Sahabi had gone into coma after a brain haemorrhage occurred during an operation to repair a bone fracture operation. His daughter, Haleh Sahabi, who was sentenced to two years in prison for her involvement in the post-election protests of 2009, was not allowed a final visit with her father. Ezzatollah Sahabi had been involved in Iranian politics since the struggle in 1951 to nationalize the country’s oil. He had endured incarceration both before and after the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
Following the Revolution, he became the head of planning and budget organization in Mehdi Bazargan’s interim government. He also served as an MP in the first Islamic Parliament and was Tehran’s representative in the Assembly of Experts of the Constitution. Later, as a critic of the Islamic Republic, he was arrested twice and subjected to torture to force him to make confessions against himself and his political peers >>>

by Mammad on Tue May 31, 2011 06:39 PM PDTKhod gouei-yo khod khandi!
You bring up things that have nothing to do with my comment. I said that you commented as I expected. I am opposed to your political views 100 percent, but as I said once, I respect your honesty. One knows where you stand. Why you came back with such a "response" is beyond me! But,
(1) I did not vote in that referendum. I was here in the U.S. But, even if I had been in Tehran, in all likelihhod I would not have voted because I did not know what IRI was that was to replace monarchy. I supported the revolution to have a democratic republic, not a black box (at that time).
(2) No one said that anything about the revolution or the IRI is your fault. Having fantasy is good, but just think for a moment: If the poor, illiterate, war-torn Afghans did not restore monarchy, what are the chances that you will see your Reza jaan back in Iran as the monarch? The chances of having a freezing day in hell is higher!
(3) Shapour Bakhtiar - God bless his soul - could advocate anything he wanted too, just as you can, no problem here! But, just because Bakhtiar said so, it won't be so. Bakhtiar is not relevant. He never was to begin with. Only people like you would like to pretend otherwise.
(4) And regarding Ebadi, I do not even know what you are talking about. So, what if she met with a royal. You interpret that as what? I know where she stands politically, you don't.

He loved his country

May his soul rest in peace..
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Tue May 31, 2011 05:39 PM PDTAnd may Iranian people forgive him and many like him for their collaboration and help in establishing this calamity and shame, the islamist regime in Iran.
Anybody who is trying to make a hero of this dead man on this site for his mild criticism of the islamist regime, should be reminded of tens of thousands of true patriotic Iranians who expressed their opposition to the fascist islamist regime loud and clear and ended up in dozens of known/ unknown mass graves such as khavaran, around Iran.

Those of you who are attacking Sahabi
by Mammad on Tue May 31, 2011 04:37 PM PDTare either totally mis-informed or totally vicious. I do not expect DK to say anything else, because his fantasy is to restore monarchy, and Bakhtiar, the same man who was denounced by the Shah himself and his generals up until a month before he bowed to the Shah, set the criterion for him. That is fine.
But, before the rest of you make your vicious attacks on Sahabi, at least read the statements issured by two university student organizations in Iran about Sahabi, Tahkim-e Vahdat and Advar-e Tahkim-e Vahdat, the same organizations whose members are currently in jail, and many of you supposedly support them. Just read what they say about Sahabi and how much they admired him, or just read the article by Mehdi Arabshahi, former Tahkim member in Gooya news, and those by others.
Sahabi was a great son of Iran, a truly pious and honest man, and a true advocate of non-violent resistance. God bless his soul. He and his wisdom will be missed. Those of you who attack him without knowing the first word about him should be ashmed of yourself.

I agree with mahmoudg

Patriot?
by Cost-of-Progress on Tue May 31, 2011 10:33 AM PDTI believe we Iranians have been confused about the meaning of the word patriot for a long time....32 years to be exact.
Those who thought they were doing good by trusting a mullah to lead them - the country - to prosperity soon found out what evil lurks within the religious establishment. That the entity is anything but patriotic.....

sorry cannot shed any tear for him
by mahmoudg on Tue May 31, 2011 10:21 AM PDTpepole like him destroyed Iran willingly or unwillingly. I cannot bring myself to like him for what he did. If he was an intellectual then he should have seen what is/was coming. There were many intellectuals like Abdullah Entezam and Bakhtiar who saw the coming of even a more notorious dictatorhsip, so i am not buying anything short of sahabi and those like him, Yazdi, Bazargan, et al selling out Iran.
My condolences to his family and friends
by Bavafa on Tue May 31, 2011 10:06 AM PDTFrom what I know and heard of him, he was a great patriot and honorable person.
May he rest in peace, Rohesh shad

No RIP for him
by masoudA on Tue May 31, 2011 09:34 AM PDTHe was a perfect example of a little man who wanted to wear hats too big for his head. He was one of many so called "Nationalists" who provided a bridge for Khomeini/IR to cross into Iran and devastate a whole nation.
