Tehran, IRNA – Secretary of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights Kazem Gharibabadi in a letter to Iran's prosecutor general called for the prosecution of the Zionist regime's crime in attacking diplomatic premises and the martyrdom of the Iranian military advisers.

Because the Zionist regime's attack on diplomatic premises and martyring the Iranian military advisers in Damascus is a clear violation of international law and the perpetrators' crimes are against national security, and interests, according to Article 290 of the Criminal Code of Procedure, please order the necessary follow-up and monitoring for criminal prosecution and legal action through qualified domestic, foreign or international authorities, Gharibabadi said in his letter to Mohammad Kazem Movahedi Azad on Sunday.

On April 1, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) confirmed the martyrdom of generals Mohammad Reza Zahedi and Mohammad Hadi Haj Rahimi and five of their companions in an Israeli missile strike on the Consulate of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Damascus.
