Talk:Human rights in the Pahlavi Dynasty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has been suggested that this page or section be merged into Pahlavi Dynasty. (Discuss)

Adding this branch resolves an issue over whether to name Human rights in Iran as Human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This resolution allows for a separate discussion of Pahlavi Dynasty human rights abuses, which are being given very short coverage (as they should be, because of the title) in Human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

There isn't enough content to allow a separate article that can't be addressed in Pahlavi Dynasty. Grsz 11 16:28, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge or rename

Please This should either be merged into the article on the Pahlavi Dynasty (which I think is preferable) or at the very least renamed Human rights in Iran during the Pahlavi Dynasty. -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Human rights in the Qajar dynasty

The article's claim that human rights declined with the arrival of King Reza Pahlavi is totally false. Reza Pahlavi I ended stoning and lashing that were practiced until 1927.[1] True, he didn't turn Iran into the Netherlands in terms of freedom and civil liberties. However, Reza Pahlavi's reforms were unparalleled. There should be a Human rights in the Qajar dynasty article to put things in perspective.

If you read "Rights of the Persian Nation, Article 20" of Iranian Constitution of 1906, then you will see that "heretical books and matters hurtful to the perspicuous religion [of Islam]"[2] were censored way before before Reza Pahlavi.

Lastly, Reza Pahlavi wasn't really secular. An Iranian friend of mine told me that Iranian public school students were required to study the Arabic language, Quran, etc. even when he was king.--71.118.41.159 (talk) 03:38, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
