TEHRAN – MP Zohreh Elahian has called for the extradition of Abdul Rahman Haji Ahmadi, the leader of the counter-revolutionary group PJAK (the Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan) who lives in Germany.

Elahian, chairperson of the Majlis Human Rights Committee, made the request in a letter to the speaker of Germany’s Parliament, Norbert Lammert, following a recent terrorist act by PJAK against IRGC forces.
On July 22, six IRGC troops were martyred in the Alvatan region near the Kurdish city of Sardasht as their vehicle hit a landmine laid by PJAK members.
“The German government is requested to arrest and try the PJAK leader or extradite him to Iran so that the Islamic Republic of Iran could put him to a fair trial, and take an effective step to improve the human rights situation,” the letter read.
On Saturday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned the charge d’affaires of the German Embassy in Tehran to protest the residence of PJAK’s leader in Germany
