Sweden: Iranian Muslim detained on suspicion of crimes against humanity in 1988 mass executions in Iran

Nov 17, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This story doesn’t say whether or not this man was living in Sweden or just traveling there. In either case, of course, anyone who was aware of Swedish authorities’ suspicion of this man would have been denounced as “Islamophobic.”

“Iranian National Detained In Sweden Over Suspected Role In 1988 Mass Executions,” RFE/RL, November 13, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

An Iranian citizen has been remanded in custody in Sweden on suspicion of carrying out crimes against humanity and murder in the late 1980s in Iran.

Swedish Prosecutor Karolina Wieslander said on November 13 that the unidentified man was suspected of committing the crimes between July 28, 1988, and August 31, 1988, in Tehran. The prosecutor did not elaborate.

His lawyer, Lars Hultgren, told the Swedish news agency TT that the man insists he is innocent, adding “they have taken the wrong guy.”

The 58-year-old man was reportedly arrested on November 9 at Stockholm’s international airport.

Sweden-based activist Iraj Mesdaghi and human rights lawyer Kaveh Moussavi told RFE/RL’s Radio Farda that they have documents proving that the man served as a judge at the Gohardasht prison on the outskirts of the city of Karaj west of the capital Tehran.

They claim that the man had played an “active role” in the 1988 mass executions of political prisoners, during which several thousand members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), leftist groups, students, and others were executed in Iran’s prisons in what Amnesty International describes as “a coordinated effort to eliminate political opposition.”…

    Maybe now mostly forgotten by most people, nevertheless to add to this mass murder affront of many people in Iran by mass executions in the ear 1988 , there was also that vicious and murderous jihad bombing on December 21,1988 of that Pam Am flight 103, Lockerbie bombing disaster. Iran might have had a part in that murderous affront. With those malicious and spite-filled mullahs and other tyrants in power in Iran with their malice-filled Islamic hate for Americans and America. Those malice-filled mullahs and ayatollahs as well as other sinister and insidious fiends in control of Iran with their destructive intentions. This information has been given by a former Revolutionary Guard member, Reza Kahlili, for Iran who defected to the United States. From his book, which is entitled A TIME TO BETRAY pages 291,292, 294, 296.

    Well, at least in Sweden we can apprehend him. How about this: every Muslim who petitions to be admitted to a civilised must agree in advance that, if we find one or a million skeletons in his closet, he goes to a cage with the toughest, meanest fighter we can find to represent his victims? And give our fighter instructions to do nothing lethal, just inflict maximum permanent disfigurement and pain? Well, Id propose this for the men; somebody else suggest something for the women.

    Good news.

    But, does that mean we have to wait another three decades before the crimes of Muslim migrants in today’s Sweden will be prosecuted?

    Knowing the wimpish Swedes, they’ll in all probability, give him substantial financial compensation, a villa & send him on 5* holidays to recover from the trauma. Then give him a post in the Government!
