| Iran Drops Charges in Journalists’ Death |
| 2003-09-01 |
| Tehran Prosecution Office Rejects Indictment Against Agents Charged in Photographer’s Death Tehran’s prosecution office on Monday rejected charges issued last month against two Intelligence Ministry agents over the killing of an Iranian-Canadian photojournalist, according to a statement released by the office. Hey, Fred! Look at your surprise meter -- it’s not twitching again! The statement said Tehran’s deputy prosecutor general, Jafar Reshadati, returned the Aug. 25 indictments against the agents and called for "further investigations" into the charges. "You investigators can come back when you have the right answer..." An independent judge charged the agents with complicity in photojournalist Zahra Kazemi’s "semi-premeditated murder." She died July 10 after sustaining head injuries while in custody. "Semi-premeditated murder" Does that mean she was hit by a truck intentionally, or am I missing a point somewhere? |
