Talk:Human rights in the Pahlavi Dynasty

Adding this branch resolves an issue over whether to name Human rights in Iran as Human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This resolution allows for a separate discussion of Pahlavi Dynasty human rights abuses, which are being given very short coverage (as they should be, because of the title) in Human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

 * There isn't enough content to allow a separate article that can't be addressed in Pahlavi Dynasty.  Grsz  ' 11 ' 16:28, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Merge or rename
Please This should either be merged into the article on the Pahlavi Dynasty (which I think is preferable) or at the very least renamed Human rights in Iran during the Pahlavi Dynasty. -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Human rights in the Qajar dynasty
The article's claim that human rights declined with the arrival of King Reza Pahlavi is totally false. Reza Pahlavi I ended stoning and lashing that were practiced until 1927. True, he didn't turn Iran into the Netherlands in terms of freedom and civil liberties. However, Reza Pahlavi's reforms were unparalleled. There should be a Human rights in the Qajar dynasty article to put things in perspective.

If you read "Rights of the Persian Nation, Article 20" of Iranian Constitution of 1906, then you will see that "heretical books and matters hurtful to the perspicuous religion [of Islam]" were censored way before before Reza Pahlavi.


 * Go ahead and create Human rights in the Qajar Dynasty and refer to it in Human rights in Iran.

Article is problematic
The article conflates two particularly different eras, that of Reza Shah and his successor, Mohammad Reza Shah. This is an inherently POV article and the issues are already addressed at Reza Shah and Mohammad Reza Shah. Why this one is necessary is beyond me. It's beating a dead horse.
