Brooks Speaks
About Shah
BY MICHAEL H COTTMAN
Panther News Editor
^ Civil rights activist Tyrone
Brooks told reporters in a
recent press conference that he
has “called on President
Carter to send the Shah back
to his native country” to secure
the safety ofthe American hos
tages who still remain in
Tehran.
Brooks, the former public af
fairs director for the Southern
Christian Leadership
Conference. (SCLC) and
presently the founder and
president ofthe Martin Luther
King Movement, said the
return of the Shah is the only
answer in solving this tense
international crisis.
In a letter to Carter the
veteran civil rights leader said
by not returning Mohammad
Reza Pahlavi to Iran “ would
not only be risking the lives of
innocent Americans, but pos
sibly could he laying the foun
dation for another world war.”
“We believe the only sen
sible, logical and moral thing
to do at this critical hour is to
deport the Shah back to his
native country immediately so
that the lives of those
Americans who remain hos
tages can be spared,” Brooks
said.
Brooks, in his letter, also
reminded Carter that the
Iranian government has taken
these measures because “the
IPS. has become a sanctuary
for a man whom they have
proven to be a mass murderer
and whose regime was die-
torial and oppressive, and
above all, inhumane.”
He also stated that he has
“recently met with several
Iranian students” and has
asked them to discontinue
their protests on the U.S.
Government in an effort to
decrease the friction between
the two nations.
“I asked them to cool down
their protests,” Brooks said.
“I’m thinking about their
(Iranians) welfare, and the
welfare' of our people.”
He added he is also
concerned with unnecessary
violence erupting in this coun
try whic.h has been sparked by
the crisis.
Iranian students, under the
watchful (‘,ve of the Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini, are
presently holding 49 American
hostages in the U.S. Embassy
in Tehran in an effort to force
the return of the Shah.
Iranian students have
charged their former leader
with fleeing the country with
an estimated $5 billion, and is
said to have been the cause of
70,000 Iranian deaths.
The Iranian government
awaits the return of the Shah,
to bo tried in Iranian courts, a
trial some say will result in
certain death.
