Speaking in a news conference, the Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman
Marzieh Afkham said in answer to a question regarding the latest news about the
Iranian national Abbas Yazdan Panah who went missing while in the UAE "There have
been contradictory reports in the past few months as to what happened to Mr.
Yazdan Panah who used to live in the UAE. Since receiving the news the Foreign
Ministry in an official letter to the UAE Foreign Ministry requested the case
to be seen to and information to be provided on his status.”
Afkham added "Once more in the meeting with the UAE
Ambassador to Tehran, Iran’s concern about the status of the aforementioned was
disclosed to him. The Foreign Ministry, according to its natural duty, is still
pursuing the fate of the aforementioned.”
"Any news to relegate his going missing or murder to Iran is
ridiculous and an outright lie. The aforementioned was a very important witness
for the Crescent gas case and his presence on the case could benefit Iran,” she
asserted.
