According to the lawsuit: Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi will not come to Geneva after all. Man pushes woman onto the tracks at Zurich’s main station: he denies that he wanted to kill her

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi will not attend the World Refugee Forum in Geneva. The Federal Public Prosecution Service confirmed to Keystone-SDA that it had received a complaint of crimes against humanity, but was unable to initiate an investigation.

Raisi was expected to give a speech at the forum on Wednesday. However, three Iranian opposition figures living in Switzerland had called on the federal prosecutor’s office to arrest him. A call supported by more than 350 personalities in a separate statement. The call is also supported by five Swiss, including national councilor Philippe Nantermod (FDP/US).

“The Federal Prosecutor’s Office immediately launched several investigations,” she said in a statement on Tuesday. But the “named person” has “cancelled his trip” and is “currently not in Switzerland”.

The Criminal Code only allows investigations into international crimes if the suspect can be identified on Swiss territory. Heads of state and government can invoke immunity during their term of office, including for acts committed before their term of office.

Satisfied opposition members

As a member of a committee that decided who should be killed, Raisi was reportedly responsible for the deaths of thousands of people, according to the appeal. At the time, he was Deputy Attorney General of Tehran Province. The three opposition members living in Switzerland point out that immunity does not apply to crimes against humanity.

“I am satisfied,” chief prosecutor Reza Shemirani told media in Geneva on Tuesday. “We have won,” he emphasized, without giving up hope that the Iranian president would one day be prosecuted.

According to the complainants, the Iranian president’s participation in the World Refugee Forum would amount to supporting executions and torture. “I was shocked when I heard he was coming to Switzerland,” Shemirani said.

The exiled Iranians accuse the international community of being blind to the crimes Raisi allegedly committed. According to her, other members of the Iranian delegation expected in Geneva also pose a problem.
