Mojahedin expose clerical regime's lies and deception on the alleged death of an Iranian Armenian in "Islamic Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office" in Tehran
Those killed or wounded were all torturers and interrogators and there were no ordinary citizens among them

The clerical regime has been churning out contradictory statements on Tuesday and Wednesday with regard to the Mojahedin's operations in Tehran. The regime claimed yesterday that an Iranian Armenian was killed at "the Islamic Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office" in Tuesday's operation. This is a sheer lie. All those killed or wounded in the Mojahedin attack on the "Islamic Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office" were torturers and interrogators and there were no ordinary citizens among them.

By resorting to these bold-faced lies against the Iranian Resistance, the clerical regime is trying to counter the wave of public delight and joy brought about by the punishment of some of the henchmen and torturers of the mullahs' regime.

Majlis Speaker Nateq Nouri described the man as the Prosecutor's Office's installations engineer, the state television said he was an "installations worker," while a state-run radio said the man was "a resident in the area where the Prosecutor's Office is situated." In fact, Christian priests and Iranian Armenians in Tehran have said they were unaware of an Armenian working at the "Islamic Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office," while they said the man's body was brought to an Armenian church in Tehran by government agents and not family members.

Under the ruling theocratic dictatorship, all religious minorities, including Christian priests and laymen, are subject to the most degrading and inhumane forms of suppression and discrimination. They are denied many job opportunities simply because of their religion. The mullahs' claim that an Armenian was an employee at the "Islamic Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office" is preposterous and unprecedented in the two decades of mullahs' rule and deceives no one in Iran. Moreover, the Iranian public is well aware of the clerical regime's atrocious record such as the fact that its agents murdered several Christian priests and then accused the Mojahedin of the murders.

In a "funeral" in Tehran's Armenian church on Wednesday, stage-managed for television cameras, most of the participants were Revolutionary Guards and Intelligence Ministry agents.
