Iran Focus
London, 25 Apr - Last Sunday, 24 April, marked the 26th anniversary of Professor Kazem Rajavi’s assassination. Professor Rajavi was a renowned defender of human rights in Iran and the elder brother of Massoud Rajavi, the leader of the organised Iranian opposition.
Professor Rajavi was 56 when he was killed whilst driving to his home in Coppet, a village near Geneva. The assassination was carried out in broad daylight by members of the Iranian government’s infamous Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS). Extensive investigations from Swiss authorities found 13 Iranian government agents including former President and one of the richest men in Iran - Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani – to be involved in masterminding the assassination.
Professor Rajavi held six doctorate degrees in law, political science and sociology from universities in Paris and Geneva. He was an active advocate for a free Iran, establishing the Swiss Society for Defence of Iranian Political Prisoners in 1971 with Geneva resident Christian Grobet who went on to become head of government advisors.
