NCRI – The government of Azerbaijan has arrested the representative of the cultural center of the Iranian regime in that country and ordered him to leave the country in 48 hours, state-run media reported in Iran.
Also an Iranian national was detained near the Israeli embassy in the capital Baku on Oct. 31 but his arrest was made public last Wednesday, when state TV showed footage of police raiding an apartment.
Azeri media identified the man as Hassan Faraji, 31, with connections with Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC). Local police raided his home and found plans and photographs indicating the intention to carry out a series of attacks against diplomatic centers, according to some reports.
Azerbaijan has arrested dozens of people last year on suspicion of connections with IRGC and of plotting attacks.
