![The Kalantari Case](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Date: 1/1/1968Call Number: CE 385Format: 1/4 7 1/2 ipsProducers: Colin EdwardsCollection: Colin Edwards Collection
Colin Edwards interviews ACLU attorney Carliner, San Francisco District Director of Naturalization and Nationalization, Mr. Fullilove, and Mr. Kalantari, in Spring 1968.
Kalantari is to be deported back to Iran for failure to obtain a valid student visa. He was the president of the Iranian Student Association at
San Francisco State University and participated in multiple anti-Shah demonstrations. The Iranian embassy refused to renew his passport, and the Office of Immigration and Naturalization denied his request to renew his student visa. They claim the decision is unrelated to Kalantari's political activity. If he returns to Iran he would be persecuted, possibly executed. Mr. Carliner was authorized to collect evidence in Iran to assess possible persecution if Kalantari returns. Carliner explained that no US government body will admit that Iran persecutes their own people since they are allies.
