Petition richtet sich an: Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community (Bundesministerium des Innern und für Heimat - BMI) and The German Bundestag (Petitionsausschuss)
We call on the German Federal Ministry of the Interior to prohibit the use of SAVAK symbols in public demonstrations. Furthermore, we request an investigation into individuals or groups claiming to establish surveillance networks to 'identify' residents, as this activity mimics the tactics of an outlawed secret police force and threatens the safety of our community.
Historical Impact: The history of SAVAK is tied to tragic events in Germany, most notably the 1967 killing of (Benno Ohnesorg) during a protest against the Shah. Allowing these symbols back onto German streets is an insult to the victims of torture and a regression for human rights.
The Contradiction: It is a dangerous paradox to protest against executions while carrying the symbols of an organisation that systematically practiced torture and murder. Using these symbols under the guise of 'identifying mercenaries' is a direct threat to the democratic right to protest without fear of surveillance by non state actors.

The Display of symbols belongs to the human right to free expression. Tyranny is when the offended can censor on a whim. Instead of censorship, have a discussion.
As a European citizen who fled the Iranian regime, I no longer feel safe in Europe when I see SAVAK symbols and face threats and intimidation from some supporters of Reza Pahlavi. We, as refugees and political dissidents, have the right to live in European countries without fear, harassment, or intimidation. I call on European governments to take responsibility for our safety and to guarantee that no group or individual can create an atmosphere of fear and insecurity through the use of symbols of repression or threatening behavior.
