But actually when he explains his four years of cooperation with SAVAK, we understand how he has been forced to cooperate when being faced with SAVAK torturers like Azodi, Rasouli, Hosseini, and Arash. He has given the info about some people to SAVAK with this justification that he believed there would be no danger for them, because they were cooperating with SAVAK or there would be no problem for them.
