Ousted shah's son wants Iran leader tried in court (AP)

PARIS ? The exiled son of the toppled shah of Iran plans to ask the United Nations to bring Iran's supreme leader before an international court on charges of crimes against humanity.

Reza Pahlavi's father, the late Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, was ousted in Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution. The ultimate leader of the government that runs the country now is a cleric, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Pahlavi is among exiles working for regime change in Iran. He said at a Paris news conference Thursday that Khamenei must be held responsible for executions, jailing and torture of political dissidents.

Pahlavi says he will submit a complaint about Khamenei to the five permanent U.N. Security Council members along with a report of the cleric's alleged crimes that will be constantly updated.
