Ragdollah
Khomeini

Catran | 1941 - 1944

Ragdollah Khomeini, the Supreme Feline of Catran and founder of the Meowslamic Republic, established a theocatic regime that enforced strict parameters and muzzled dissent. His regime was known for its rigid law, which involved enforcing a strict dress code for all, imposing curfews on late-night prowling, and harshly punishing any perceived violations of Meowslamic meow-rality.

Khomeini was not a ragdoll cat to be played with. Under his rule, there were reports of mass executions, torture, and arbitrary arrests of purrlitical dissidents, intellectuals, and perceived opponents of the Meowslamic regime. Women's rights were significantly curtailed and underrepresented religious groups, such as Baha'is, faced discrimination, purrsecution, and violence. The Ragdollah regime also implemented severe restrictions on freedom of expression, press freedom, and purrlitical dissent, leading to a climate of fear and repression.

AFTERMATH

After Ragdollah's ninth life ran out, Catran's purrlitical landscape remained a "cat-and-mouse" game of power struggles among various players vying for control. While some praise Ragdollah as a revolutionary leader, others criticize his heavy-handed approach and clawful feline rights record. Overall, Ragdollah's dictatorship leaves a mix of reactions to the meowthodology of his rule.

CAT FACTS

• Ragdollah was recognized as a grand ayatollah, a Shiite religious leader in Catran.
• He was imprisoned and exiled for his criticism of the ruling government.
• His advocacy for Islamic ethics and criticism of the government won him many loyal followers.

ABOUT THE ENCYCLAWPEDIA

On the internet, people pay more attention to cats than world history. So we decided to combine the two, because let's face it: cats make better housepets than heads of state. Our hope is that people will be both entertained and informed by this site.

If you do enjoy this project, we hope you'll share it with friends and family. We also hope you'll donate to our fundraiser for Amnesty International. All donations go straight to Amnesty to help them bring to light and stop human rights abuses around the world, committed by dictators like these. Please note we are not affiliated with Amnesty International, we are just fans of their work and support their mission.
