With Khomeini Excellent?'
TEHERAN (ZINS) — The
Jewish member of the Ira-
nian Parliament, Izhak
Farahamind, claims that
Iranian Jewry has excellent
relations with the regime of
Ayatollah Khomeini. He
said their only fears stem
from "the climate of insta-
bility and insecurity in the
country."
Farahamind says 20,000
Iranian Jews have left the
country because they were
afraid of actions against
minorities. He said, how-

ever, that there are only 50
Jews in Iranian jails,
"which is a small number in
comparison with non-
Jewish prisoners."
Israel estimates that
30,000 of Iran's 80,000
Jews have left the coun-
try, but only 6,000 have
settled in Israel. Of that
6,000 only 330 have regis-
tered for Israeli citizen-
ship.
The executive director of
the Union of Iranian Im-
migrants, Menashe
Amidaber, says that immi-
gration has fallen in recent
months because immig-
rants from Iran are now
permitted to take only
$1,000 with them.
