On 17 September 1992 gunmen killed Sadegh Sharafkandi, Ghassemlou's successor as head of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, his colleagues Fattah Abdoli and Homayoun Ardalan, and their translator Nouri Dehkordi at the Mykonos restaurant in Berlin. In 1997 a Berlin court convicted an Iranian intelligence employee and accomplices and found the killings ordered by intelligence minister Ali Fallahian with the knowledge of Khamenei and Rafsanjani.
