DEŽ

 

DEŽ, a weekly of news and politics associated with the Tudeh Party (see COMMUNISM ii) that began publication on 6 Ḵordād 1322 Š./27 May 1943 in Tehran and continued with some interruptions until June 1953. Its publisher and director was Nowḏar Āšūrī. From 1950 until the summer of 1953 it was published with interruptions in place of Be sūy-e āyanda, the unoficial organ of the then underground Tudeh Party.
