Justice Party ( Persian: حزب عدالت, romanized: Ḥezb-e ʿEdālat) was a political party in Iran, led by Ali Dashti who co-founded it with other intellectuals who had participated in the politics of the early 1920s. [2] Other prominent politicians include Jamal Emami, Ebrahim Kajanouri, Farajollah Bahrami, Jamshid Alam and Abulqassem Amini. [1]
The party was "an association somewhat resembling a private club, with little organizational cohesion or collective sense of identity". Idologically, its character consisted of a centre-right nationalism and advocated general reforms in the administration and legal and educational systems. [1]
The party opposed the Tudeh Party and supported a constitutional monarchy in Iran. [3] According to Hossein Dadgar, a leading member of the party, it was formed "to counter the ' Fifty-three' communists who had founded the dangerous Tudeh party." [4]
They backed Mohsen Sadr's government and were considered opposition to the governments of Ahmad Qavam and Ali Soheili. [1]
