The attached BBC report contains the text
of a radio broadcast of an Iranian opposition group which refers to
the Toilers' Party of Iran as a splinter group of the Tudeh Party
(30 May 1985).
Referring to Iranian political parties
following the 1979 Iranian revolution, Mehrdad Mashayekhi states
that "the pro-China, Revolutionary Organization [of the Tudeh
Party] (later called Ranjbaran), defined its strategic
slogan as "not America, not Russia, an independent and self-reliant
Iran" (1992, 107).
According to Reuters, the Iranian Guidance
(Information) Ministry banned a political journal called
Ranjbar (The Toiler) in 1981 (15 Mar. 1981). Reuters adds
that Ranjbar is the organ of the Toilers' Party, "a tiny
pro-Chinese group" opposed to the governing Islamic Republic Party
(IRP) (ibid.).
The Christian Science Monitor refers
to the 1980 closure of the offices of several political groups,
including the Ranjbar[an] (Toilers) Party by "the street mob of the
Hizbollahi" (8 Aug. 1980).
This response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum.
