Fereydon Tawangari, torturer of Savak and known as Arash


Mistrust in Government: The actions of SAVAK contributed to a deep-seated mistrust of government institutions. This mistrust played a significant role in the revolutionary fervor that swept through Iran in the late 1970s.Human Rights Violations: The extensive human rights abuses committed by SAVAK underlined the need for strong protections against such violations in any government. The legacy of torture and repression remains a cautionary tale for future generations.Revolutionary Justice: The trials and executions of former SAVAK members were part of the broader revolutionary justice system that sought to purge the new Islamic Republic of remnants of the Shah’s regime. These trials were often swift and harsh, reflecting the new government’s desire to quickly establish its authority and deliver justice as perceived by the revolutionaries.
