Hovyiat TV series

Hovyiat TV series

Hovyiat TV series (PerB| برنامه هويت ) was a weekly TV program on IRIB's Channel 1 in 1996.

The program's objective was said to be "confrontation with western cultural invasion." However, it turned out to be a propaganda campaign against 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, the so called chain murders of Iran.
