Mehdi Hashemi "culpable of torture"

Rafsanjani's son ordered to pay millions of dollars in compensation by Canadian court

Oxford Student: The son of a former Iranian President has been found culpable of torture and has been ordered to pay his victim millions of dollars in compensation while studying for a DPhil at Oxford. Mehdi Hashemi Rafsanjani – who was admitted to the University with a “let-off clause” for language skills – had a judgement brought against him by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in August for ordering the torture of a Iranian businessman who refused to surrender control of his oil consultancy to Rafsanjani and pay a demanded $50 million. In the judgement made against the 42-year-old, seen exclusively by this newspaper, the judge described how Mr Houshang Bouzari suffered “unspeakably outrageous torture at the hands of the defendant or at his instigation” >>>

Dont you just love these Brits and their use of Euphemism??!

Baba, this bacheh akhoond was only allowed into your college to study "D.Phil" (in god knows which no good for anybody subject which can only be studied at Oxford), only because he has a a massive london bank account balance.

BTW, right now, I happen to be visiting this land of once a  great empire, where the Industrial revolution started, but  now full of lazy, criminal islamists, with a miserable weather, misereable people, and corrupt universities. I  cant wait to get back  to the sunny, dynamic US of A next week for the thanksgiving......

bad news for all

by Jahanshah Javid on Thu Nov 17, 2011 08:52 AM PST

This story refuses to go away and this latest news is bad for all involved. I don't know how Hashemi can claim that the court decision is a lie (typical response?). Who knows what he did, but his refusal to show defend himself has cost him dearly, not only terms of the millions he has been ordered to pay, but also his already questionable reputation. Just being a member of the Rafsanjani is bad enough these days.

And how is Oxford going to respond now?
