A typical defensive response to a well documented fact
That the CIA (a security service of a nation quite familiar with using torture and undemocratic methods for its own advantage), should also involve itself in clandestine activities in a repressed state, proves only the old provrb - "birds of a feather.... etc)
The Shah's police were notorious for their torture and murder at the time of what was an immensely well-supported coup
Those who "escaped" were largely supporters of the Shah's regime - see Cuba for an example of supporters of "America's Open Sewer escaping to freedom"
