TEHRAN DENOUNCES ARGENTINIAN COURT VERDICT
13th Nov 2006, 16:51 GMT
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Seyyed Mohammad Ali Husseini said in a statement on November 11 that a recent Argentinian arrest warrant for several Iranian officials -- including former President Ali-Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani and former Intelligence and Security Minister Ali-Akbar Fallahian-Khuzestani -- is not legal and the charges lack evidence, state television and Fars News Agency reported (see End Note and "RFE/RL Newsline," November 10, 2006). Husseini said the case has been dismissed by a British court, that Interpol released 12 Iranians in a related case, and the previous Argentinian judge was corrupt.
