The Daily Star - Embassy blasts inaction on four kidnapped Iranians, July 7 2012
BEIRUT: The Iranian Embassy in Beirut condemned Friday the lack of
international attention to the case of four Iranian diplomats who were
kidnapped in Lebanon 30 years ago. In a statement, the embassy said Tehran had
asked the U.N. to establish an investigative committee to look into the
disappearance of the four, “but there was no reception of this proposal up to
now, unfortunately.” During the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, three
Iranian diplomats, Mohsen Mousavi, Ahmad Motevaselian and Taghi Rastegar
Moghadam, along with an Iranian photographer, Kazem Akhavan, disappeared and
the Iranian government says they were taken by a militia at the Barbara
checkpoint north of Beirut. The embassy said that a militia that had links to
Israel at the time was responsible for the incident, and turned the Iranians
over to Israel.
