re: fate of Hovannessian.
All I can do is repeat some unconfirmed info that was posted here
long ago:
Hovannessian spoke out against fluoridation of water, and was arrested
and taken away by the police (in Iran) and never seen or heard from
again.
I don't know if the above is true, if it happened under the Shah or
Khomeini, or whether it was the regular police or SAVAK, the
Shah's Internal Security forces.
