  <dc:description>More than fifty years after they were allegedly tortured by the Shah’s secret police, three Iranian men are seeking justice in a Florida courtroom. In a landmark ruling, a US federal court has allowed their claims to proceed, finding that the statute of limitations has yet to begin running. But the case reaches far beyond the courtroom. It challenges a vision of Iran’s future that seeks justice for the Islamic Republic’s crimes while leaving the Shah’s repression in the past.</dc:description>
