The committee numbers 18 members who are elected to these posts until their death and are technically not allowed to leave them.
The American news agency recalls that in 1989, three members resigned because the Academy refused to condemn Chairman Ruholah Homini after calling for the murder of writer Salman Ruzhdi for “Satanic Wargs”. The academy then refused their resignations.
