Interpol hunting for witness of Neda's death
2009-07-02
Yeah, I'll bet Five-O's on it too...
[Iran Press TV Latest] Iran's Police Chief, Brig. Gen. Esmail Ahmadi-Moqaddam, says Interpol is searching for a man who witnessed the death of Neda Agha-soltan.

Neda was shot dead in a central Tehran street on June 20, amid the post-election unrest in the capital city and her death has turned into a controversial issue.

Iranian authorities say that security forces have not fired at protesters, adding that the incident was "a premeditated scenario" to defame Iran.

Arash Hejazi, an Iranian physician, however, has told the BBC that he witnessed the incident and that a member of the Basij had shot at Neda, a claim strongly dismissed by the volunteer force. "Arash Hejazi is wanted by Interpol and Iran's Intelligence Ministry," Fars news agency quoted Ahmadi-Moqaddam as saying.

The police chief said that Hejazi is charged with helping the Western media to launch a psywar against Iran. "The murder of Neda Agha-Soltan was a scenario and is not related to the Tehran unrest in any way," he concluded.

#5  Looks like it's news to Interpol. The only guy they're looking for is some Turkish guy wanted for murder.

#2  I presume any witnesses they find will be turned over to Dinner Jacket's police for interviews - probably involving colonic rupture (see story elsewhere on this page).

#1  No one can defame Iran. It's not possible. Perhaps the police chief would feel better if he went out & shot another girl.How brave! Little girls are so tough.
