On Thursday, November 12, two Iranian men were found guilty in a British court of collaborating with the intelligence agency of the Salami Republic and spying on journalists opposed to the Iranian government.
According to the announcement of the British prosecutors, the purpose of these people was to follow the journalists of the Iranian international television channel, to prepare for a ground attack on at least one of them in retaliation for their criticism of the Iranian government.
Mustafa Spaund, 41, was found guilty at Wallich Crown Court in London of two charges and Farhad Javad Yemen, 46, was found guilty of one count under the British National Security Act. They have previously denied their allegations.
🔸 The Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly denied being involved in espionage operations and threats against its opponents abroad. However, authorities in the Islamic Republic have repeatedly called the Persian-language media abroad and its employees "foreign agents", "spies" and "security threats".
