Iran police chief says Interpol remarks distorted: Via PressTV.ir .

Iranian Police Chief Esmail Ahmadi-Moqaddam says his comments on a witness in the death of Neda Agha-Soltan during post-election unrest were distorted.

Iranian media on Wednesday carried reports quoting the brigadier general as saying that the International Police force known as Interpol is on the hunt for Arash Hejazi, who was pictured while trying to help Neda.

A day after Ahmadi-Moqaddam's reported comments Interpol spokesperson Rachel Billington rejected involvement in any investigation into the death of Neda.

"We've not received any request for information or for assistance on the death of that lady," Billington told CBSNews.com on Thursday. "We've received nothing from Iran."

Ahmadi-Moqaddam, however, moved to reject the published report.

“Although I tend to choose my words with utmost care, a certain website has carried a story saying that I have said the Intelligence Ministry and Interpol are after Mr. Hejazi,” Iran's police chief said on Monday.

“This is while I had said Iran's Intelligence Ministry and criminal police are on the case,” he told reporters in Tehran.

Iran says security forces were not responsible for Neda's death, as they did not have orders to shoot the protestors.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has also called for an investigation into what he called the suspicious death of Neda.
