GVF -- Senior reformist politician Mostafa Tajzadeh has been called back to Evin prison after having joined six other leading reformist figures in filing a lawsuit against several commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps for their interference in Iran's rigged presidential election of in June 2009
Last week, Mohsen Safaei Farahani, former reformist MP and president of the Iranian Football Federation found himself behind prison bars for having signed the complain letter against the IRGC. Along with five other leading reformist figures, Safaei Farahani and Tajzadeh filed a lawsuit against several commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps for their extensive role in carrying out a monumental fraud in last year's presidential election.
The seven plaintiffs included four members of the Organisation of Islamic Revolution Mujahidin (Behzad Nabavi, Mostafa Tajzadeh, Mohsen Aminzadeh, and Faizollah Arabsorkhi) and three members of the Islamic Iran Participation Front (Chairman Mohsen Mirdamadi, Abdollah Ramezanzadeh, and Mohsen Safaei Farahani). The parties are two Iran’s most important reformist groups which have also been outlawed by the judiciary system.
The seven reformers say that the speech made by IRGC commander Moshfegh, demonstrates how the IRGC commanders had engineered the June 2009 election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Tajzadeh was arrested shortly after the June 2009 election coup and later released in early March 2010 after nine months of imprisonment. He has reportedly rejected calls by his interrogators at Evin prison to withdraw his complaint against the IRGC and must therefore refer to the notorious Evin prison tomorrow morning.
