Iran protests German officials' interventionist stance

Tehran, Oct 30 (UNI) The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday summoned Germany's Ambassador Markus Potzel over "interventionist" stance adopted by some German officials, who questioned Iran's judicial jurisdiction.
During his talks with the envoy, Majid Nili Ahmadabadi, director for Western European nations at Iran's Foreign Ministry, lodged a protest against German officials' "inappropriate" stances towards the execution of Iranian-German national Jamshid Sharmahd, who was the ringleader of the Tondar (Thunder) group designated as a terrorist entity by Iran.
He said that supporting Sharmahd, "who was responsible for several terrorist operations, including a lethal bombing in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz in 2008," was in contradiction with the German government's claims of promoting the rule of law, supporting human rights and fighting terrorism.
