Beirut : Families of four Iranian diplomats who were abducted in the east of Beirut by the Zionist regime in 1982 met on Saturday with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.
At the meeting, the Lebanese official briefed them on measures taken by the Lebanese government for the release of Iranian diplomats and they (families) called for continued steps until the freedom of the abducted diplomats.
Expressing regret over prolonged investigation of the case, Nabih Berri hoped that the report by the Zionist regime will help resolve the issue.
“If the report leads nowhere, the case would be pursued with Lebanon and in international fora, he said.
Iran’s then-charge d’affaires to Beirut Mohsen Mousavi, Iranian diplomat Taqi Rastegar-Moqaddam, the country’s military attache Ahmad Motevasselian and IRNA photojournalist Kazem Akhavan were kidnapped in Beirut in 1982 while being escorted by the Lebanese police on their way back from a mission in northern Lebanon.
Concrete evidence indicates that the four Iranian diplomats are in Zionist regime captivity.
The Zionist regime agreed under an exchange deal with the Lebanese Hizbollah to disclose the details about the abduction of Iranian diplomats.
