SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 15 – Less than a
week before the UN General
Assembly week kicks off behind
closed doors in Midtown
Manhattan, Iran's president
Ebrahim Raisi was on September
15 sued in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York.
Inner City Press, which covers
the SDNY daily since being
banned from the UN for
reporting on Secretary General
Antonio Guterres' close
relations with authoritarian
rulers from Iran to China,
Cameroon to Cambodia, found
the Complaint in the docket on
September 15, filed at 8:30
p.m.
In it,
Mehdi Hajati, a former city
councilman in Iran; Hamid
Babaei and Kylie
Moore-Gilbert, an Australian
academic formerly taken
hostage by Iran then traded
with Thailand, sued under the
Torture Victim Protection Act.
Inner City Press previously
exclusive first
reported the presentment in
SDNY Magistrates Court of
Khalid Mehdiyev for stalking
Iranian dissident Masih
Alinejad with an AK-47 outside
her Brooklyn home.
On
that case, and UN-linked
Iranian lobbist Afrasiabi, set
to quietly plead guilty in
Brooklyn federal court on
September 19, the UN has
refused all of Inner City
Press' questions, as well as
its timely application to
enter the UN to cover the
General Assembly "debate"
which starts on September
20.
his case is
Hajati et al. v. Raisi,
