Law suit alleges visiting Iranian President implemented anti-Semitic policy of  torture and  imprisonment

Seven Jewish-Iranian families have filed suit in an American federal court against former President Mohammad Khatami over charges that he is responsible for the kidnapping and torture of their missing family members.

The families, currently residing in Los Angeles and Israel,  contend that Khatami  instituted the policy of  imprisoning their relatives without trials and refusing to provide them any information concerning their whereabouts.  The Jews were arrested on different occasions during the years 1994 through 1997, as they sought to leave Iran  across its border with Pakistan.
