The decision to close the file is an insult to justice and a violation of democratic and human rights values, prompted by political expediency that encourages the religious fascism ruling Iran to carry out further assassinations with impunity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On March 20, 2006, the investigative Judge in the county of VAUD, ordered the arrest of then-Iranian Minister of Intelligence, Ali Fallahian, for his complicity in the assassination. According to documents and reports from the NCRI, in addition to Fallahian, Ali Khamenei, Iran regime&#8217;s Supreme Leader, then-Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati, and Hassan Rouhani, at the time Khamenei&#8217;s representative on the regime&#8217;s Supreme National Security Council and the council&#8217;s secretary, were involved in this assassination and those of many dissidents abroad. Courts in Germany and Argentina have issued international arrest warrants for a number of <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The arrest warrant of Ali Fallahian reads, \u201cThe execution of Kazem <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Rajavi<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> was carefully planned. Commando teams once came to Switzerland in October 1989, then in late January and early February 1990, and finally from April 10 to 24, 1990 &#8230;. Investigations revealed that 13 people were involved in the preparation and execution of the murder. The thirteen had Iranian service passports with \u2018on mission\u2019 mark engraved on them. Some of these documents were issued simultaneously in Tehran on the same day &#8230;. All Iranian service passports were issued only by order of the ministry under the leadership of Ali Fallahian, and were confiscated at the same airport when the perpetrators returned to Iran. All of the service passports of 13 people whose names were mentioned above were issued in Karim Khan, a street in Tehran. Two buildings on this street are the headquarters of a section of Iran&#8217;s intelligence service, <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Vavak<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Terrorism and crimes against humanity are not subject to the statute of limitations, particularly in the case of a regime in which one ambassador and six diplomats have been expelled for participating in assassination attempts against dissidents in the past two years alone, and another diplomat has been in jail in Belgium for nearly two years for his criminal plot to bomb a large gathering of Iranians in Paris on June 30, 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Economic deals and political considerations never justify concessions to terrorism. We therefore call on the President of the Swiss Confederation, the Foreign and Justice ministers as well as the Attorney General and the prosecutor of the county of Vaud and other Swiss officials to issue international arrest warrants for those who are known to have ordered and committed this crime, and, if necessary, to put them on trial in absentia so that justice is done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We call on all human rights advocates, parliamentarians, and civil society in Switzerland to call on the authorities to continue to pursue justice in this file.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The prosecution of criminals is the best way to deal with terrorism; closing this file facilitates and promotes more terrorism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sir David Amess MP<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Co-Chair of British Committee for Iran Freedom<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\"> 11 June 2020<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The British Committee for Iran Freedom (BCFIF) in a statement condemned the decision by Switzerland to close the assassination case of Prof. Kazem Rajavi.&nbsp;&nbsp; Professor Kazem Rajavi was the older [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":220526,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-220525","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran-resistance"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
