RELEASE SOUGHT OF PRISONER
(Rec. 8 p.m.) TEHERAN, Aug. 27. Nearly 100 demonstrators led by 10 black-robed Moors, invaded Teheran’s Ministry of Justice to-day to demand the release of their leader, Navad Safavi. They left again after half an hour. Safavi, a religious fanatic, heads the Fadayan Islam movement, which was responsible for the assassination of the Prime Minister (General Ali Razmara) last March- Safavi was arrested in a general round-up of Moslem terrorists early in June. Ten Moors led the demonstrators into the main hallway of the Ministry of Justice and called the "curse of Allah” down on the present Government.
