Iranian minister sacked for faking a degree from Oxford University

Guardian Tuesday November 04 2008

The bogus degree was uncovered in August, when MPs questioned the authenticity of Kordan's qualifications shortly after his appointment to the post of interior minister.
The president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, called the move to impeach Kordan illegal because he did not commit any wrongdoing while in office. Ahmadinejad had previously dismissed the controversy as a row over "a piece of torn paper".
