Interpol denies helping with Neda death probe
 [Iran Press TV Latest] The International Police force (Interpol) has flatly denied any involvement in searching for the man who witnessed the death of Neda Agha-Soltan. The death of Neda, who was shot dead on a Tehran street on June 20 amid the post-election unrest in the capital, has turned into a controversial issue. Iranian physician Arash Hejazi told the BBC that he had witnessed a member of the Basij shoot Neda. The volunteer force has, however, strongly rejected the allegation. "Arash Hejazi is wanted by Interpol and Iran's Intelligence Ministry," Fars news agency quoted Ahmadi-Moqaddam as saying on Wednesday. Interpol spokesperson Rachel Billington, however, rejected involvement in any investigation into the death of Neda. "We've not received any request for information or for assistance on the death of that lady," Billington told CBSNews.com on Thursday. "We've received nothing from Iran." Posted by: Fred 2009-07-03 |
