Iran: Rev. Dibaj’s daughter barred from leaving the country

NCRI- The mullahs' officials at the “Imam Khomeini” Airport in southernTehran, refused boarding of Fereshteh Dibaj (daughter of slain Rev. Mehdi Dibaj) who was traveling to neighboring Turkey, reported the Christian News Network in Farsi on April 14.

Fereshteh Dibaj was leaving the country to visit her relatives and friends in Turkey. However, Ms. Dibaj was stopped just before boarding the plane destines for Istanbul.  The authorities at the Airport told her that “she is banned from traveling abroad pending a court decision."

Rev. Mehdi Dibaj was brutally murdered by agents of the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) Dibaj was abducted on June 24, 1994. His body was found in a west Tehran park on July 5, 1994.

On September 26, 2006, the MOIS agents arrested Mrs. Fereshteh Dibaj, 28 and her husband, Reza Montazami, 35 in the holy city of Mashhad., Later the couple were transferred to an unknown location for a few days. While in custody, their house was searched by the MOIS and some of their belongings such as computers, CDs, documents and Christian books, were sized.

Mrs. Dibaj has traveled out of the country with no restrictions prior to her recent ban.  The mullahs' regime charged Mrs. Dibaj and her husband with "apostasy." A charge which would be punishable by death in accordance with the mullahs' penal codes.
 
Rev. Mehdi Dibaj was sentenced to death for “apostasy” in an inspired mullah's court. Under intense international pressure, the mullahs’ regime was forced to release him after serving nine years in jail.

Mr. Mehdi Dibaj was kidnapped in August 1994, when returning from his daughter’s birthday party in Zibadasht, Karaj west of the capital. He was taking to remote woods of northern Tehran and was knifed to death.
