Interpol denies helping with Neda death probe
2009-07-03
[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."

#4  Rigging a vote. Slaughtering their own citizenry. Flat out lies to the world. These are the people Obama believes he can trust in an agreement?

Without a doubt. I became suspicious when the Iranians said Interpol was sending their Chief Inspector Jacques. Jacques Clouseau.

#2  This is the second time the Iranians have lied about Interpol being involved in Iranian affairs. I'm surprised PressTV is actually reporting this.

If Iran wants to add legitimacy and gravitas to their propaganda efforts, they are better off invoking Broderick Crawford and the Highway Patrol.

#1  Fanatic Shiites are fixated on alleged UK involvement in Neda's death. They don't let facts get in the way.
