After the fall of the Pahlavi regime, Hassan Pakravan was arrested, along with other high-ranking members of SAVAK, by the revolutionary forces. He was later executed in 1979, symbolizing the end of an era in political and security history. Hassan Pakravan remains a controversial figure in history. While some view him as a staunch defender of the Pahlavi regime, others see him as a symbol of the oppressive tactics used by the Shah’s regime to silence political opposition. SAVAK’s actions under his leadership are often remembered for their harshness, and the agency continues to be a focal point in discussions about human rights.
