Official: Assassination of Elites Not to Stop Iran's Progress
TEHRAN (FNA)- Enemies are striving to undermine Iran's progress through terrorism, but this plot will prove futile, Secretary-General of Iran's High Council of Human Rights Mohammad Javad Larijani said Wednesday.
"The policy of assassination of (Iran's) scientific elites aims to slow down the pace of our progress," Larijani said, describing the policy as a brutal and shameless measure violating all human norms and criteria.
"The policy (of terror) is not only a hostile policy but also a crime against humanity as stated by the principles of international (legal) texts," Larijani stated.
He further blamed the US, Israel and a number of western countries for this hostile and inhumane policy.
Meantime, the official stressed that such terrorist acts cannot hinder the country's move towards progress.
His remarks came after Iran's young scientist, Daryoush Rezayeenejad, a brilliant post-graduate student in the field of Power and Electronics, was gunned down Saturday afternoon in the country's capital city of Tehran by two terrorists.
Rezayeenejad and his wife were on their way to their child's kindergarten when they were approached by two men on motorbikes. The gunmen called him by name and shot Rezayeenejad, 35, in the neck when he turned around.
The gunmen chased Rezayeenejad's wife who attempted to find help for her husband.
On November 29, 2010, two other Iranian academics became the target of terrorist attacks when unidentified terrorists detonated bombs in the vehicles of Dr. Majid Shahriari and Professor Fereydoon Abbasi in separate locations in Tehran. Shahriari was killed immediately but Abbasi and his wife sustained injuries.
On December 2, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry announced that Mossad, CIA and MI6 spy agencies played a role in those attacks.
