Parviz Sabati
Parviz Sabati is a former high-ranking official of SAVAK, the secret police of the Shah of Iran, and was known as a prominent figure in the organization responsible for widespread human rights abuses, including torture. After living a semi-hidden life in Florida for decades, he re-emerged in public through a controversial documentary that reignited discussions about his past. His return to the spotlight has led to renewed scrutiny and legal action against him, as several former political dissidents living in the United States have filed a $225 million lawsuit accusing him of orchestrating systemic torture during his tenure.
