the prosecutor of Bench 1 of Tehran`s Criminal Court, in which two
of the information ministry`s interrogators are accused of `being
accomplices` in the `quasi intentional murder` of Ms Kazemi are
sheer lies."

the truth of the matter on the case related to the death of Zahra
Kazemi, and is intended to publish it for public information in very
near future."
