Green Party of Iran


The Green Party of Iran is a Green political party dissident to Iran's Islamic Republic government.
A Banned party without any physical presence in Iran, it has a radical stance towards Iranian Department of Environment and considers it a "façade of environmental concern for the benefit of international observers", arguing that it "covers up environmental disasters of the state". It is an exception to the Iranian environmentalist movement, in which most of organizations and NGOs are tolerated, and sometimes encouraged by the government.
The party was founded in California, U.S. as a "professional Iranian expatriate opposition" and was reportedly based in Canada as of 1999. As of 2014, it is based in Germany.
