Canadian immigration authorities have arrested a former member of Iran's state security apparatus who arrived in Vancouver under a false name.

The Immigration and Refugee Board said in a ruling released yesterday the man had been a member of SAVAK and was complicit in crimes against humanity.

SAVAK was a security agency that spied on, tortured and murdered opponents of the Shah who ruled Iran until he was toppled in the 1979 Islamic revolution.

While the case concerns Iran's suppression of political opposition 30 years ago, the current regime of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been accused of committing similar abuses.

1. Love that last part

Savak ran rape prisons, mutilated tens of thousands of people, including children, and even made videos of the "interrogations" that were sold to interested parties.

"the current regime of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been accused of committing similar abuses"

Well, now it has been, I suppose. Dude's a dick, but Savak and the Shah beat him hands-down in all areas relating to abuse.
