Iran's ambassador accuses Russian TV channel · 2007-04-01 15:04
Iran's ambassador to Russia said Saturday Russia's satellite channel Vesti 24 voiced an erroneous translation of his words about the possible fate of 15 British sailors and marines detained by Iran last week.
Some media quoted the ambassador, Gholam Reza Ansari, as telling Vesti 24 Friday that the 15 detainees could be put on trial in Iran.
"What I really told the TV channel was that the situation with the detained British seamen has entered a legal phase," Ansari told Iranian news agency IRNA Saturday. "The channel mistranslated the part of the interview dealing with the detained British sailors, and reported they could be sentenced."
The editor-in-chief of the Vesti 24 channel denied any mistranslation, RIA Novosti reports. _"We are perplexed with the appearance of distorted information with reference to our channel,"_Dmitry Mednikov said.
He said the interview was translated by an Iranian embassy translator, and then it was "repeatedly referred to by world media." Mednikov said it "must have been on that stage that the information was distorted."
