What Do SAVAK Documents Say About Shafiei Kadkani?

During the 1960s and 1970s, Shafiei Kadkani drew the attention of the Pahlavi regime's security apparatus, both for teaching at the University of Tehran and for his ties to the Writers' Association and certain intellectuals. Although initial reports describe him as having no political background, his name appears under statements by the Writers' Association, as well as some of his remarks and actions during the peak of the struggles, which made SAVAK sensitive to this university professor.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Shafi'i Kodkani was noticed by the Pahlavi regime's security apparatus due to his teaching at Tehran University on the one hand, and his association with the writers' club and some intellectuals on the other hand. Although the initial reports consider him to have no political history, his name in the statements of the Writers' Association, as well as some of his words and actions during the peak days of the struggle, cause the sensitivity of SAVAK on this university professor.
