said.
“The students are behaving in an
arbitrary way,” the new president
told Iran’s evening newspaper,
Kayhan, quoted by the Iraqi news
agency. He branded the arrest of
Nasser Minachi as “a respectless
deed by children who don’t know
what they’re doing,” Kayhan said.
The militants had accused the
minister of having ties with the CIA
and informing the Americans about
various activities in Iran.
Bani-Sadr told the newspaper it
was “intolerable ”, that the militants
had created “a government within
the government.”
“It is impossible to work in a coun
try where so-called students claim
they follow the line of the Imam
Khomeini, but do the contrary,” the
new president said.
He told the newspaper investiga
tions of charges such as those made
against the minister “is the task of the
courts only,” according to the Iraqi
News Agency which carried excerpts
from the Kayhan article. The presi
dent added that with such actions,
“no official, no minister can work in
this country with confidence, trust
and security.”
Bani-Sadr criticized the state radio
for allowing “these kids to broadcast
accusations against the guidance
minister without clearing them with
authorities.
Prosecutor General Ali Ghodussi
told reporters he had issued no arrest
warrant for Manachi, held in a
Tehran jail, and said the arrest was
against the law.
Manachi told reporters Tuesday
before his arrest that the accusations
against him broadcast by the radio
was the result of “a plot by radical
elements.”
Ayatollah Mohammed Beheshti,
secretary of the ruling 13-member
Islamic Revolutionary Council,
ruled out early release of the hos
tages in Tehran as sources close to
the council said the ruling group will
accept a U.N. proposal to set up an
international commission to investi
gate the alleged crimes of the shah.
Sources close to the council said
the group likely would insist on the
shah’s arrest before the beginning of
a U.N. inspired commission.
The report said the Khomeini reg
ime is holding American hostages
under “cruel and degrading” condi
tions and has imprisoned some
15,000 political prisoners and ex
ecuted about 700 Iranians after sec
ret trials by revolutionary courts.
But the report says the number of
executions of the shah’s supporters
“declined substantially following a
partial amnesty declared July 11 by
the Ayatollah Khomeini. ”
Bani-Sadr, who was sworn into
office Monday as Iran’s first presi
dent, is known for his moderate
stand on the hostages. He lost the job
of foreign minister in November be
cause he favored a U.N. inquiry into
the shah’s alleged crimes in working
out the release of the hostages.
The militants holding the Amer
icans captive have continuously de
manded the shah be returned to
stand trial before they can be re
leased, but Bani-Sadr has told them
he will not share a dual government
with them.
There was no direct word on the
hostages in Tehran. A group of 50
Americans representing the Com
mittee for American-Iranian Crisis
Resolution left for Iran Tuesday to
meet with the militants holding the
Americans captive.
Bani-Sadr s appointment as head
of the council is subject to the
approval of the ailing Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini, a spokesman
said.
Khomeini has strongly backed
Bani-Sadr since his overwhelming
electoral triumph and personally
swore him in as president from a
Tehran hospital where he is recover
ing from a heart condition.
The shah presently is living in ex
ile on Panama’s Contadora Island.

Olympic committees nix boycott
Students arrest Iran minister;
ani-Sadr calls them children
United Press International
MEXICO CITY — Delegates at
an international Olympics meeting
have rejected the Carter administra
tion’s call for a boycott of the Moscow
games and passed a resolution urging
141 member nations to “avoid exter
nal influences” to move the games.
The executive committee of the
Association of National Olympic
Committees unanimously passed the
resolution after two days of meetings
in Mexico City and a final closed-
door session Tuesday.
Delegates rejected a proposal by
U.S. Olympic Committee spokes
man Phillip O. Krumm to defer a
vote on the boycott until Sunday.
The International Olympics Com
mittee, which decides the sites of the
games, will announce its position on
the Moscow games at that time.
ANOC is an umbrella group of 141
National Olympic Committees
formed last year in San Juan, Puerto
Observers in Mexico City said the
association’s overwhelming senti
ment against Carter’s boycott prop
osal is expected to be reflected by the
IOC as well.
The 32 delegates who attended
the meeting initially had planned to
discuss promotion and solidarity of
the Olympic movement before the
boycott issue overshadowed the pre
vious agenda.
