08-Jul-2009
 

Bijan Khajehpour Khoei, a highly respected independent Iranian business and economic consultant, was arrested on Saturday 27 June 2009 when returning from a trip to Vienna and London.  During his brief trip abroad, he spoke at the chamber of commerce/ trade commission in Vienna and met the Iran British Business Chamber in London to support Iranian business and to encourage foreign investment in Iran.

To date, Bijan's whereabouts are unknown. It is also unknown who has taken him and why.

Bijan is the founder of the strategic business consultancy Atieh Bahar Consulting, which he started in 1993. In his two decades of activities in Iran, Bijan has been instrumental in creating jobs for Iranians through his different business activities, attracting foreign investment to Iran and advising domestic and international companies on the economic and investment climate and opportunities in Iran. Although based in Tehran, Bijan has remained closely attached, both personally and professionally to his hometown Khoei situated in Azerbaijan province which he visits regularly for family reasons and in the development of new businesses.

Known to his friends, employees and business partners for his tolerant and humanitarian views, Bijan is also extensively involved in charitable, cultural and scholastic endeavors. He has supported numerous students and sports youth to better their career options. He is also the CEO of the Science and Arts Foundation, which is a well known charitable organisation aimed at empowering the knowledge base of Iranian youth and enhance their computer literacy and knowledge.

Bijan's wife, two young daughters, family and friends are very concerned about his health as he is a diabetic on strict medication and diet. Bijan holds a DBA in International Management from the International School of Management in Paris.

I saw him in London, walking to a Bank of America branch in London. I did not ask him anything, nor did I pretend that I know him.

 

thanks.

Release all NOW

by Fred on Wed Jul 08, 2009 05:48 AM PDT

It is so regrettable that he too got picked up like thousands of others. It is also regrettable that throughout years that others were being subjected to what he might be experiencing now, Bijan and your family were heavily involved as the business gateway to higher-ups of the Islamist republic and had nothing but good things to say about the regime.

Now the Rafsanjani faction and all its connected personalities and many business ventures are getting a taste of reality, the same frightful reality that Iranian people have been going through for three decades and the “pragmatists” and their creation the “reformists” have been whitewashing in lieu of a share of the pie. BTW, you should have also mentioned that Bijan is your, Siamak Namazi, brother-in-law and the crucial founding connection to the NIAC lobby.

The cat is out of the bag, everyone needs to come clean and help to slay this Islamist cutthroats’ republic monster that has just begun to devour its very own. If history is any guide this is just the beginning of the bloodletting, before it gets out of hand a la Rwanda, the regime in all its many skins must be overthrown. Your loved one along with countless others must be released NOW!
