Well, well, well! I just shared info about Pardis Sabeti last week on my Stack. One of the more interesting discoveries I made researching her is who her father is. Parviz Sabeti. One of the most feared men in Iran under the Shah. Physical and psychological torturer, brutal repression of all dissidents, massive surveillance network, a seriously bad guy. And CIA product, given safe passage and a new life in the US when the Shah fell. In no small part due to his henchmen like Sabeti:
Torture and Denials of Rights Laid to Iran by Jurists’ Group
New York Times, May 29, 1976
SAVAK: A Feared and Pervasive Force
Washington Post, May 9, 1977
I explore more of her background in a long journey on a Magic Persian Carpet that also gets into eugenics, bioethics and...Jeffrey Epstein. Who maybe didn't kill himself for more reasons than just having the goods on other prominent pedophiles?:
