Azadegan Organization

The Azadegan Organization (Persian: آزادگان, lit. 'the [spiritually] free ones') was an Iranian monarchist organisation which sought to restore the Pahlavi dynasty following the 1979 Iranian Revolution. The group, founded by General Bahram Aryana, was described as the most prominent of the "fundamentalist monarchist" (vice "constitutionalist monarchist") groups following the Revolution.[1]
