During this two-day trip, which both sides stressed it be kept secret, the regime's leaders asked Schmidbauer to arrange for the release of Kazem Darabi, the terrorist agent who commanded the assassination of four Iranian dissidents in September 1992 at the Mykonos restaurant in Berlin, to revoke the arrest warrant for Ali Fallahian, the regime's Intelligence Minister, and to institute restrictions against the Iranian Resistance in Germany.
Emphasizing that the conclusions of the Berlin court proves, without a shadow of doubt, the role of Darabi in these murders, Schmidbauer assured his interlocutors that "we have done our utmost to delay the court's ruling. Moreover, we will prevent an extensive coverage of the court proceedings in the media."
Officials of the Iranian regime commented after the trip that although the German prosecutor's office had issued the arrest warrant for Fallahian, Schmidbauer had prevented his name from being provided to the Interpol. During the trip, the German official also assured the mullahs that he will convince the prosecutor to hear the two Iranian witnesses in Tehran so that the issuance of the court's verdict would be delayed even further.
The Iranian Resistance condemns behind-the-scenes dealings and collusion with the mullahs ruling Iran, whose crimes can only be compared with Hitler's Nazism. It also condemns the blatant interference in and sabotage of the Mykonos trial. These actions run counter to the highest interests of the Iranian people.
