 NCRI - In a decree issued on Sunday, the mullahs' Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei,
named Interior Minister Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi as the Deputy
Commander-in-Chief of the State Security Forces (SSF).
Khamenei had refused to name any of Mohammad Khatami’s interior
ministers as the SSF deputy commander-in-chief and had personally
controlled the suppressive force during Khatami’s eight-year tenure.
Sunday's move by Khamenei reflects his complete confidence in
Ahmadinejad’s cabinet and the murderous Pour-Mohammadi.
Pour-Mohammadi was a deputy minister of the Intelligence Ministry since
its inception in 1984 and its representative in the three-man “Death
Commission” in 1988 that was tasked with implementing Khomeini’s fatwa
(religious decree) to massacre 30,000 Mojahedin and other dissident
political prisoners in that year. Pour-Mohammadi was among the
principals in the "chain murders" in the 1990s, in which dozens of
dissidents, writers and intellectuals were abducted and brutally
murdered.
Atrocities perpetrated by Pour-Mohammadi are the most manifest examples
of crimes against humanity for which he must be brought before an
international criminal court.
