international arrest warrant for new president

A look at the past
record of mullahs’ new president, Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, shows that his path to power has been
paved with murder, assassination, hostage taking,
suppression and torture. He has committed crimes
against humanity.
The Iranian Resistance urges competent governmental
and international authorities to issue and
international arrest warrant for his arrest.
As a Revolutionary Guards member, Ahamdinejad was
involved in the torture, execution and firing coup
de grace at executed prisoners in Tehran’s notorious
Evin prison and other torture centers since the
early months of the mullahs’ rule.
He was among the founders of the Muslim Students
Association, renamed the Office of Consolidation of
Unity later. This office played a major role in
identifying and arresting dissident students,
especially Mojahedin sympathizers in universities.
It was also very active during the so-called
“Cultural Revolution” that led to widespread purge
of students and the closure of educational
institutions for a several years.
In 1981, Ahmadinejad, along with a number of “the
Line of the Imam [Khomeini]” students, began working
in the Prosecutor’s Office and in Evin Prison, where
collaborated with .Mohammad Kachui (Warden of Evin)
and Assadollah Lajevardi (Tehran Prosecutor). As a
vicious torturer, Ahamdinejad led firing squads in
early 1980s and personally fired coup de grace at
executed prisoners.
In 1986, he joined the Revolutionary Guards Special
Brigade based in Ramadan Garrison, headquartered in
the western Iranian city of Kermanshah. Set up by
the IRGC’s Intelligence Directorate, the Garrison
was responsible for special operations and terrorist
attacks in Iraqi territory. Ahmadinejad repeatedly
took part in terrorist operations on Iraqi soil,
especially in Kirkuk. Ramadan Garrison is the main
base for the IRGC Qods [Jerusalem] force, formed
several years later.
Brig. Gen. Mohammad Jafar Sahraroudi, then Ramadan
Garrison’s commander, recruited Ahmadinejad for the
July 1989 assassination in Vienna of Dr. Abdul-Rahman
Qassemlou, the Secretary General of the Kurdistan
Democratic Party of Iran. Sahraroudi led the
operation in which he was also wounded. Austrian
authorities returned him and his accomplices to
Tehran, however.
Ahamdinejad was the commander of one of the two hit
squads, the first team being led by Sahraroudi
himself. He also received the weapons and ammunition
for this operation from the Iranian embassy in
Vienna, which he provided to members of both
hit-teams.
Ahmadinejad had extensive contacts with Hossein
Sheikh-Attar, among those involved in the
assassination of Shapour Bakhtiar, and convicted in
absentia by a Paris court.
As Tehran’s Mayor, Ahmadinejad played an important
role in facilitating the activities of the terrorist
outfit, “Headquarters to Commemorate the Martyrs of
Global Islamic Movement,” formed in 1982. The group
has in recent months waged a vigorous campaign in
Tehran and other cities to recruit volunteers for
suicide operations against targets outside Iran,
especially in Iraq.
