In Memory of Prince Shahryar Shafigh
For those who have remained Iranian.
For those who still give a damn.
Monday, December 6th 2004 (16th of Azar), marks the 25th anniversary of the assassination of Shahryar Shafigh.
Around one o’clock in the afternoon, December 7th 1979, Shahryar Shafigh, an officer in the Imperial Iranian Navy, was shot twice and murdered as he was leaving his mother (Princess Ashraf Pahlavi)’s Paris flat. The two bullets that hit his neck and head were discharged from a 9 mm handgun, fired by a hit man riding a motorcycle, between 25 and 30 years of age, who fled the scene after committing the ghastly murder.
According to French reports, an anonymous caller took responsibility for the assassination, declaring that Prince Shahryar had been killed as an enemy of the faith of the revolutionaries and the people of Iran and for aiding international Zionism, ending the phone call with a “Long Live Khomeini!â€
