A request to Mr. Amjad Amini, the father of Mahsa Iran Zamin: Please file a complaint with the Forensic Medicine Commission.

Abdollah Abdi - Abdi Media:

Recently, an interview with Mr. Amjad Amini, the father of the cherished Mahsa Iran Zamin, has been published. This interview has deeply engaged my mind, as it follows previous interviews with him.

The essence of the interview was that the Forensic Medicine report and its commission are false. I believe this is why Mr. Amini and his lawyer, as a sign of protest, have not gone to the Revolutionary Parliament’s commission for review, which is not the focus of this note.

I feel it is my duty, once again expressing my condolences to Mr. Amini, the esteemed and grieving father, to urge him and his experienced and expert lawyer, Mr. Saleh Nikbakht, to file a documented and substantiated complaint against the Forensic Medicine Organization.

Merely stating and quoting in the media that the Forensic Medicine report is false serves only as media operations against or in favor of the Forensic Medicine Organization, during which the truth gets lost. Particularly, opponents and supporters, without addressing the truth, are solely engaged in psychological operations to undermine the opposing side.

The Forensic Medicine report in Tehran states that this report is based on the opinions of 19 relevant medical specialists, the examination and autopsy of Mahsa’s body, and her previous medical records. As with any governmental report, which also has records, this report might be false or not entirely truthful or could be accompanied by deceit and generalizations.

I recommend that, as the Amini family is pursuing a complaint against the police command and its personnel at the Tehran Criminal Court (though details have not been disclosed by the grieving father and his lawyer), if they believe the Forensic Medicine report is also flawed or false, they should, in consultation with their doctors and esteemed lawyer, gather irrefutable legal and medical evidence and file a criminal complaint against the Director General of Forensic Medicine in Tehran and all members of the Forensic Medicine Commission who signed the report, accusing them of false reporting and dissemination of falsehoods, at the Criminal Court or the Public Prosecutor’s Office for Government Employees.

For media backing, they might also consider making the medical documents and the decisions of the investigating judge and court public, if deemed appropriate.

The media strategy where the Islamic Republic claims to release a documentary medical report and shows edited films, only for the family of Mahsa to claim it’s false, benefits which side of the issue, and what tangible results does it produce? Other than media commotion, it has little for Mahsa’s seekers of justice.

I believe we should utilize the available resources for seeking justice and ensuring proper legal execution, unless the entire judicial system is rejected for any reason, which is understandable.

Additionally, I remind Mr. Amjad and Mr. Saleh Nikbakht, the esteemed lawyer, to consider requesting that the head of the Forensic Medicine Organization and even the head of the Judiciary address the commission’s opinion and convene a session of the Supreme Council of the Forensic Medicine Organization.

There is a precedent for such sessions in the Zahra Kazemi case, supported by the press and the Sixth Parliament, with the then Minister of Health, Mr. Pezeshkian, and the truth was uncovered.

I and all my esteemed journalist colleagues are with you and stand by you in uncovering the truth.
