THE Khomeinyite repression which still continues in Iran is being spread internationally gupporters in Britain of the PMOI (Mojahedeen), one of the main Iranian opposition groups, have recently stated that the regime is using agents-diplomatic staff or 'students'-to spy on opponents or to attack them.

On December 13, two Khomeiny agents were killed when a bomb they were carrying in their car exploded. The driver, who survived, was a former employee at the Iranian Consulate in London.

The Daily Mail reported, "Police believe the men were lakıng the cat to speakers Corner •. . Every sunday afternoon dozens of antiKhomeiny: Iranians meet there."

This follows many other incidents. Some months ago two pro-Khomeiny Iranians were killed while making a bomb.

Anti-Khomeiny demonstrations, and individual Iranian activists, have been attacked with clubs and fists. Student union meetings discussing Iran have been disrupted Moreover, the Iranian foreign ministry has decreed that anti-Khomeiny students should not have their passports renewed-so they will be liable for deportation and execution.

€6.5 million has been allocated' to pay Khomeiny agents abroad. And letters have been sent to British colleges asking for names of Iranian students.

Student unions and the labour movement should organise to help provide defence for anti-Khomeiny demonstrations, to demand compiete non-cooperation by British colleges with this persecution, and to oppose any deportations.
