Toppling Tehran REPORTER: UK Guardian Television On air: 25th July 2010


The images of brutaility on Iran’s streets made headlines around the world a year ago, as huge
protests took place in Tehran over the disputed election of President Ahmadinejad.

But a new investigation shows that all was not well within the country’s leadership too… three
members of Iran’s military elite, who have since fled the country, have told of deep rifts and open
dissent in the ranks.

They also describe the measures used to crush the protesters, including rape and torture, and the
leaders with a plane on standby to get them out of the country if their regime collapsed.

The men were tracked down in Turkey and Thailand by UK-based Guardian Films and The Bureau of
Investigative Journalism.

Producer Chavala Madlena.

This story is available with Arabic subtitles and in Farsi on the Guardian\'s website.

You can also still see our recent profile of Iran\'s Maestro, Mohammad Shajarian, who\'s an outspoken
critic of the Ahmadinejad government.
