Tehran Prosecution Office Rejects Indictment Against Agents Charged in Photographer's Death
TEHRAN, Iran — Tehran's prosecution office on Monday rejected charges issued last month against two Intelligence Ministry agents over the killing of an Iranian-Canadian photojournalist, according to a statement released by the office.
The statement said Tehran's deputy prosecutor general, Jafar Reshadati, returned the Aug. 25 indictments against the agents and called for "further investigations" into the charges.
An independent judge charged the agents with complicity in photojournalist Zahra Kazemi's "semi-premeditated murder." She died July 10 after sustaining head injuries while in custody.
Note how much coverage this incident gets among the bleeding heart press compared to when an American solidier accidently shoots a cameraman in a combat zone.
