TEHRAN - National Prosecutor General Qorban-Ali Dorri Najafabadi has called on United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to take measures to determine the fate of four Iranian nationals who have been held by the Zionist regime for 27 years.

He made the remarks at a ceremony in Tehran on Saturday that was held to mark the 27th anniversary of the kidnapping incident.
Four Iranian nationals, chargé d’affaires Mohsen Mousavi, military attaché of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ahmad Motevasellian, Taqi Rastegar Moqaddam, a diplomat from the embassy, and Kazem Akhavan, a reporter and photographer from the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), were captured by a Phalangist militia while traveling to southern Lebanon in 1982, then handed over to the Zionist regime and transferred to a prison in occupied Palestine.
Dorri Najafabadi urged the UN to act in a more serious and impartial manner, saying that an international fact-finding committee could play an important role in this regard.
The Israelis are definitely responsible for the kidnapping and therefore they must explain why they kidnapped the Iranian nationals even though they had diplomatic immunity and also explain what has happened to them, he added.
Dorri Najafabadi also said that diplomatic immunity has been internationally recognized and if it is ignored, the security of diplomats will be undermined
