Hovyiat TV series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hovyiat TV series (in Persian: برنامه هويت صدا و سيما) refers to a weekly TV shows on IRIB's first channel in 1996.
The program's objective was said to be "confrontation with western cultural invasion". However it turns out to be a propaganda againsts Iranian intellectuals and academics. The series targeted a broad range of Iranian intellectuals (secular as well as religious modernists), archeologists, artists, scientists and national leaders as Mohammad Mosaddeq.
The word "Hovyiat" literally means "identity".
The think tank behind the TV series later on killed several scholars in a chain, so called chain murders of Iran.
