Azarmehr says that Islamic Republic uses British universities as a propaganda platform [1].He talks about his experience in SOAS [2] :A request was made by an Iranian student at SOAS for a “symposium” about Iranian cinema. Later on an organisation named “Council for the Promotion of Persian Language and Literature” took over the organisation of the event and the “Iranian Cinema Symposium” actually became a pretext for an official celebration of the Islamic Revolution in a British university, organized and sponsored by the Iranian embassy in London [3].
