Iranian Parliament Urges Germany to Extradite PJAK Ringleader
TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iranian parliament's Human Rights Commission in a letter to the German parliament speaker called for extradition or trial of the ringleader of the terrorist PJAK group who resides in the European country.
"Unfortunately, we are witnessing free activity of terrorist grouplets in certain countries which claim to be fighting against terrorism," Head of the parliament's Human Rights Commission Zohreh Elahian said in her letter which was released on Monday.
"Undoubtedly, such grouplets cannot survive and run activity without the support of certain governments," she added.
Elahian underlined the necessity for the punishment of the criminals who act against humanity, and said Iran expects Germany to arrest Abdulrahman Haji Ahmadi, the ringleader of the terrorist PJAK group, and put him on trial or extradite him to Tehran - where he would have a fair trial - in a bid to take an effective step in the promotion of human rights.
In relevant remarks last month, Iranian top diplomat Ali Akbar Salehi in a meeting with his German counterpart Guido Westerwelle rapped Berlin's hypocrisy in dealing with terrorist groups, and called on the German officials to stop sheltering the PJAK terrorists.
"The western countries and Germany should not allow the terrorist PJAK group to run activity," Salehi said during the meeting held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York.
He also called on the western states to name PJAK in their lists of foreign terrorist groups due to the group's terrorist attacks against the Iranian and Iraqi nationals.
PJAK, a militant Kurdish nationalist group with bases in the mountainous regions of Northern Iraq, has been carrying out numerous attacks in Western Iran, Southern Turkey and the Northeastern parts of Syria where Kurdish populations live.
The separatist group has been fighting to establish an autonomous state, or possibly a new world country, in the area after separating Kurdish regions from Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Syria.
Iranian intelligence and security officials have repeatedly complained that Washington provides military support and logistical aids for such anti-Iran terrorist groups.
In July, the IRGC arrested several teams of PJAK, who intended to infiltrate Iran to stage terrorist operations in the country.
In response, Iran deployed about 5,000 military forces in the Northwestern parts of the country along its joint border with the Iraqi Kurdistan region.
