Mohammad Sadegh Kharazi, the mysterious man fleeing from Iran?

The socio-historical context cannot be overlooked. In many countries, familial ties to dictators represent a lineage of corruption and exploitation. Upon the mention of unrest, relatives are not only concerned about their wealth but also about the social backlash awaiting them. They may flee not only due to the immediate danger to their own lives but also because they fear reprisals from the very populace they have exploited. Leaving the country is as much about avoiding potential violence against them as it is about securing their financial interests abroad.
