Iranian Speech

Chanting "Long live Khomeini" and Death to the fugitive," 15 Iranians protested a speech at the Law School yesterday by a former Iranian ambassador to the United Nations.

Mansour Farhang, who spoke about the lack of human rights in Iran, had to be whisked away through the tunnel under Langdell Library by Harvard policemen after his hour-long lecture.

About 90 people attended the speech, in which the exiled former advisor to Iranian President Bani-Sadr said he was "not only disillusioned but in active opposition to the Khomeini regime."

The shouts of the protestors outside were audible in the Langdell South lecture hall, but Farhang merely smiled at the commotion and continued uninterrupted.

Members of the Third World Coalition of minority law student groups, which sponsored the event, called the Harvard police during the speech and five patrol cars converged on Langdell before Farhang was through.

In a statement distributed outside the hall, the protestors said Farhang "is totally ignorant of the desires of the people of Iran and doesn't know anything about human rights.
