Priest Wants Star Chambers & Spies

From Kamangir:

General Prosecuting Attorney, Cleric Dorri Najafabadi, issued a letter blaming the administration for their lack of strict control over Iranian students abroad. According to Roozonline [Persian], the letter advocates for a decision made earlier for creating Islamic councils in foreign universities, as well as secret surveillance of the students in order to discover and persecute those who “act in contrary to the national security and the Islamic identity”.

    Oh great, something to cheer up my Iranian student. :-(

    Although having thought about this, Najafabadi should relax, the UK’s homegrown Islamic University Societies do enough enforcement activity on Muslim students - although admittedly it is more Muslim Brotherhood than Persian in nature.
