ROUND UP THE USUAL SUSPECTS: Iranian Arab separatist shot to death in Netherlands.
An Iranian activist who advocated for the independence of the country’s Arab minority was shot to death in the Netherlands on Wednesday.
Ahmad Mola Nissi, 52, was a founder of the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz, or ASMLA, which advocates for an independent state in Iran’s oil-rich Khuzestan Province.
Dutch police said an investigation had been opened into the shooting and a suspect had been detained at the crime scene in The Hague.
“His involvement in the incident is being investigated,” police said about the suspect, according to Reuters. “Emergency services were at the scene quickly and reanimated the victim, but he died shortly later.”
The Netherlands have rolled out an impressive welcome mat for Islamic immigrants, but they have a less-than-impressive track record of providing security to genuine political refugees from Islamic countries.
