Does anyone recall how this person's father, the Shah of Iran -- installed by the CIA and long backed by the US -- treated anti-government protesters and dissidents?

Yes, we do. The Shah ruled over a country that had the “highest rate of death penalties in the world, no valid system of civilian courts and a history of torture” which was “beyond belief”. It was a society in which “the entire population was subjected to a constant, all-pervasive terror”, according to Amnesty International. (Martin Ennals, Secretary General of Amnesty International, cited in an Amnesty Publication, Matchbox, Autumn 1976)
