NCRI - An international rogatory letter has been issued for the
interrogation of Abolghasem Mesbahi, former manager of the Iranian
information service in France, reported AGI, Italian news agency
yesterday.
This has been requested by Judge Franco Ionta at Rome's first court of
Assizes, where the trial for murder of Mohammed Hussein Naghdi,
representative of the Iranian Resistance killed in March 1993, is
taking place.
Mesbahi's testimony in 1997 and 1998 were useful for arriving at this
trial, which sees Amir Mansour Bozorgian, an Iranian national who is
currently on the run, as the only accused.
The murder was part of a deliberate policy of murder of Iranian opponents in exile. |
