Media Rights Institute (MRI): The murder of Rafiq Tagi remains closed

Media Rights Institute issued a statement which condemned  non-disclosure of  the well-known journalist Rafiq Tagi despite two years have passed since  his death. IPM accuses police that the investigation of the crime actually stopped. "Stagnation in the investigation of the case, and absence of effective steps is a serious concern,"  reads the statement. The  MRI  called on the  authorities to disclose  the crime as soon as possible, and to bring perpetrators to justice.

Rafiq Tagi was attacked on  November 19, 2011, he was sustained multiple stab wounds. He was hospitalized and died in the Clinical Medical Center on November 23 of that year.

Rafiq Tagi was known for his sharp critical publications against the Islamists.

It is no accident that the Iranian clerical circles welcomed the  fatwa (sanction) to murder journalist, and t when it happened,  they  welcomed the crime.

A lawsuit was filed on the case, and the investigation of the case  was entrusted to the Office for Serious Crimes   of the General Prosecutor Office.  Even a special investigation  group was set up  of a number of law enforcement agencies.  -16D04-
