Daughter Of Iran's Notorious Judge Breaks Silence About Her Father

"At that time, they all wanted to present themselves as revolutionaries to scare the enemy. This is how I see things," she added. She says she never felt she had to defend Khalkhali, who is believed to have acted with Khomeini's blessing, because "my father always insisted that his political face -- good or bad -- was his business."
"He presented himself as a revolutionary and believed that he had to accept some bad notoriety for the revolution," she said. "[My father] would always say: 'We made the revolution and we have to stand by it.' I can still hear him."
