Iran Urges Germany to Arrest PJAK Leader

PJAK Leader Rahman Haj-Ahmadi

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Ahani today called on German authorities to arrest and prosecute PJAK leader Rahman Haj-Ahmadi who is reportedly residing in Germany.

Ahani made the request during a meeting with Boris Ruge, director of the Middle and Near East Department at the German Foreign Ministry, in Tehran.

On Saturday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned the German charge d'affaires in Tehran to voice protest against the presence of Haj-Ahmadi in Germany.

The IRGC has deployed a large military force in the Kurdish regions of Iran and Iraq to fight PJAK militants. The Party for Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK) has been engaged in armed struggle against Iranian security forces and terrorist attacks inside Iran.

Anon 12:13 PM,

The Iranian government is apparently disagreeing with you. they believe Mr. Haj-Ahmadi and PJAK leaders are Iranian Kurdish citizens. That's the reason they have launched protest with the German authorities not to let one of its citizens reside in the country.

The boss might be just a name or a face with a dozen family members here and there.

But those pulling the trigger are not Iranians.
