ranian Foreign Minister
Kamal Kharrazi was met by
angry protesters during his
four-day visit to southern
California last week.
More than 100 demonstrators,
shouting "Death to the Islamic
Republic" and "Kharrazi must go,"
threw eggs and plastic bottles at the
luxury cars of guests arriving
Saturday at an Orange County
reception.
•
Inside the hotel, Kharrazi urged
sympathetic listeners to lobby for
the rights of Iranians everywhere.
His tour of the United States, the
first by a high-ranking official of the
Islamic regime, embroiled him in
demands for the release of 10
Iranian Jews sentenced as spies for
Israel.
Two days earlier, Kharrazi ran into
an even more emotional demonstra-
tion on the UCLA campus.

He was met by a'crowd of some
200 Iranian expatriates, about evenly
divided between Muslims and Jews.
Many displayed pictures of relatives
executed or jailed by the Iranian
regime.
"All I want to know is why they
executed my husband 12 years ago,"
said one woman, tears streaming
down her face.
Others waved banners and plac-
ards demanding "Free Iranian Jews,"
"Down With the Terrorist Regime,"
"Free Iran Students" and "UCLA,
Shame on You."
The crowd outside the James West
Alumni Center, where some 100
carefully screened guests met with
Kharrazi, was ringed on four sides by
barricades and platoons of police
and sheriff deputies, reminiscent of
the campus riots of the 1960s and
`70s.
Invited guests who tried to run the
gauntlet of demonstrators were
greeted with shouts of "murderer"
and "terrorist." Some were slapped,
jostled and spat upon, until police in
