Wednesday, 30 November 2005
Image(AGI) - Rome, Italy - An international rogatory letter has been issued for the interrogation of Abolghasen Mesbahi, former manager of the Iranian information service in France. This has been requested by magistrate Franco Ionta at Rome's first court of assizes, at which is taking place the trial for the murder of Mohammed Hussein Naghdi, Iranian resistance worker killed in March 1993.

Mesbahi's declarations in 1997 and 1998 were useful for arriving at this trial, which sees Assl Mansur, Amir Bozorgian, both on the run, as the only accused.
The murder was part of a deliberate policy of murder of the regime's opponents. The court, chaired by Francesco Amato, will not convene for its next hearing, set for 28 November. (AGI)
