EXCERPT:
The Tehran judiciary’s official news agency Mizan said Mehdi Farid had attempted to infect the internal network of a sensitive defence-related organisation on orders from Mossad officers.
According to Mizan, he provided access for people outside the organisation by repeatedly connecting equipment via USB.
Mizan said Farid, a former employee of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation from Arak, had provided the Israeli side with information including organisational structures, location of buildings, protective status and staff identity data. The name of the organisation and documents associated with the claims were not released.
Mizan claimed that during the judicial process, he “made a frank confession” to cooperating with Mossad. Human rights organisations have repeatedly warned about the lack of access to independent counsel and alleged forced confessions under duress in such cases.
