In 1989, Iran's religious leader Hermene issued an order for the dissatisfaction of the book, demanding that Rashdi executed. Since then, Rashdi has hid. Until 1998, the Iranian Foreign Minister said that the death penalty for Rashdi was revoked, but Islamic aggressives still regarded it as a dead enemy and contributed millions of dollars to reward his life.
