Colin Edwards interviews Jahangit “Haj” Razavi, who is charged with being connected to activists conspiring to plant bombs in the Bay Area.
Haj worked with grassroots street movements in Berkeley that challenged the power structure within the US, and was arrested for assaulting a police officer and possession of drugs. He was violently assaulted by the police. He was re-arrested and charged with being a fugitive while traveling. Before trial newspapers falsely connected him to a bomb plot .
Haj asserts that his arrest is part of a government strategy to criminalize activists as “extremists,” particularly the Black Panther Party.
In Berkeley Haj formed
the Tricontinental Student Committee with other foreign students in order to encourage
student activism among foreign students in this country and to give full support and assistance to liberation struggles in the third world and to the National Liberation Front of Vietnam. He also helped form the Iranian Student Association.
