The Record

The Hooman Asbaghi Case

A filing is not a verdict. Nothing on this site is a finding of liability.

Section 03b

Pathobiology Laboratory Center

Farideh Kavesh is named vice-chair and CEO of this laboratory — نایب رئیس هیئت مدیره و مدیرعامل — on official gazette paper through 1404/06/29. Moghimi is board chair. Pathobiology Laboratory Center — آزمایشگاه مرکزی پاتوبیولوژی — is a registered Tehran laboratory at path-lab.ir, register 13884, founded 1349/02/05. Same Farideh is vice-chair of Padtan Elm. The laboratory directory and the physicians table print names that also sit on Padtan Elm paper — Korourian as Quality Control Manager here and chair there. That overlap is documented. Fifty percent control and ‘absolute power’ are his legal reading of founder lines plus the 1999 instrument, not a court finding. Then the contracted-institution grid and the MTHFR menu. Then the wet-ink. ISO 9001 is not ISO 15189. A thanks plaque still addresses the lab head as عالم حکیم. Discovery in 2026 is a capture date, not a founding date.

What is web-verifiable

Anyone can open path-lab.ir. Anyone can open the Rasmio company page for آزمایشگاه مرکزی پاتوبیولوژی, national ID 10100524000. The Internet Archive first captured the laboratory site on 21 January 2022. The register dates the company to 1349/02/05 — fifty-six years on the face, not a 2026 discovery. Certificates, checkup panels, a diagnostic menu, group testing, and external quality assessment are on the public site. Phone, plaque, street, and person national IDs on the gazette are on the faces.

The certificates page lists BSI 2010, NACI 2014, TUV NORD 2014 and 2017, TUV AUSTRIA 2020, and ISO 9001:2015. The EQA page lists RIQAS 2017, 2019, 2023, 2024 and EQAS years 1398–1403. The wet-ink for that list — UK, German, Iranian, and Austrian issuers, plus six 2024 RIQAS programmes — sits with the originals below. ISO 9001 is not ISO 15189.

Vice-chair and CEO

He identifies this laboratory as his mother’s. The website does not print her name. The official gazette does. Minutes 1402/06/29, gazette 1402/08/22: فریده کاوش نایب رئیس هیئت مدیره و مدیرعامل through 1404/06/29. سیدمهدی مقیمی is رئیس هیئت مدیره. She already held CEO and vice-chair on minutes 1400/04/15. The same person is vice-chair of Padtan Elm. The printed term ended ~20 September 2025; Rasmio still showed that slate on 15 September 2026. Appointment is documented. Current office after the printed end date is not established.

عالم حکیم

A Ministry thanks plaque addresses the head of this laboratory as عالم حکیم. That is not the string فریده کاوش. The gazette names her CEO. The plaque and the gazette are two faces. The plaque does not confirm the gazette title, and it does not un-name her on the gazette.

English name of the laboratory on path-lab.ir is Pathobiology Laboratory Center. This is not a different legal entity.

Establishes. The laboratory is a registered Iranian company, not a nickname. It dates itself to 1349/02/05 — more than fifty years, not the 21 January 2022 Wayback capture and not a 2026 discovery date. The same public register prints Farideh Kavesh as CEO and Seyed Mehdi Moghimi as board chair.

Does not establish. CEO is not board chair. Moghimi is رئیس هیئت مدیره. A Rasmio officer card is not ISO 15189, not a 2016 performing-lab line, and not a finding she took the company from him. Street and postal are held off this face. The printed CEO term on the companion gazette ends 1404/06/29; this profile still showed that slate on 15 September 2026.

The same company page reprints an earlier gazette 1400/08/16 of board minutes 1400/04/15 with the same two titles for her — مدیرعامل و نایب رئیس — and Moghimi as رئیس.

Establishes. Official gazette paper names Farideh Kavesh vice-chair and CEO of Pathobiology Laboratory Center, not board chair. Moghimi is the chair. The 1402 slate runs through 1404/06/29. She already held CEO + vice-chair on the 1400/04/15 minutes. That is heading the laboratory on paper.

Does not establish. Does not make her رئیس هیئت مدیره. Does not prove she still holds the office after 1404/06/29 (~20 September 2025); Rasmio still printed this slate on 15 September 2026, which is the dump, not a new appointment.

2 · Investigation

Same names, three layers

Read the titles. Korourian is on the building directory, on the laboratory’s physicians table as Quality Control Manager, and on Padtan Elm’s gazette as chair of the board. Gerowgan is on the directory and on the Pathobiology gazette as a board member — not on the live physicians table, and not on the Padtan officer table. Farideh is CEO of the laboratory company and vice-chair of Padtan Elm. She is a 25% founder; after 1999 his printed 25% line is her using the 1999 instrument. That arithmetic is paper. “Subordinates she placed” and “almost absolute power” are his legal reading of those titles, not a finding on this page.

Documented · three layers

علیرضا کروریان / Dr. A.R. Korourian

On the building directory as DR. A.R. KOROURIAN M.D. On path-lab.ir as Quality Control Manager. On Padtan Elm Rasmio as رئیس هیئت مدیره through 1404/08/17. Plate spelling is KOROURIAN; this site’s Padtan minutes already used Karourian. Both spellings print. He is also the named receiving agent on the 2018 ELISA plate purchase. He appears on the 1397 Padtan attendance list — years before the Pathobiology CEO gazette mounted here.

محمد کروگان / Dr. M. Gerowgan

On the building directory as دکتر گروگان / DR. M.GEROWGAN ph.D & M.D. On the Pathobiology gazette as عضو هیئت مدیره, with Farideh vice-chair and CEO and Moghimi chair. The live physicians table does not list him. He is not on the current Padtan Elm officer table. Plate گروگان and gazette کروگان are kept as printed. That is name overlap, not a national-ID match on this page.

Documented · paper arithmetic

25% and the 1999 line

Docs6 names her a 25% founder. Docs6 names him a 25% founder. After 1999, his printed line is Farideh using the 1999 power of attorney unless a page shows his own hand. Later lists still print him at 250 of 1,000 shares. She is vice-chair of Padtan Elm and CEO of this laboratory. Those are the faces. Two founder lines plus officer seats are paper. They are not a money trail.

1999 power of attorney

Claimed · his legal reading

Fifty percent, and power

He reads those two 25% lines as 50% of Padtan Elm, and reads the laboratory titles as proof she seated her subordinates on the kit-company board, and from that almost absolute power. Hold that as alleged. The 1400/02/21 Padtan board that names Karourian chair is dated before the earliest Pathobiology CEO gazette on this site (1400/04/15). Soudabeh sits on the Padtan board and is not on the laboratory directory. Binding Padtan documents still print two board signatures plus the seal. Name overlap is documented. Appointment-because-subordinate is not. A 50% paper reading is not a finding she voted a majority, and it is not theft.

What is Padtan Elm

Magnitude, then the MTHFR overlap

Two true things stay two true things. The contracted-institution grid is what they published. The MTHFR pages name the same two variants as a 2016 Scripps result. Overlap of assay names is not a chain of custody.

Documented · contracted provider

Who sits on their grid

The cleaner Wayback still of موسسات طرف قرارداد prints, among others: Central Bank of Iran, Armed Forces medical services, Iran Air, Social Security, Bank Melli, Bank Mellat, Bank Sepah, Iranian Offshore Oil, National Iranian Copper. The live page at capture listed 29 laboratory-insurance tiles — including Majlis offices, more banks, and more insurers. A tile means this lab is a contracted provider for that entity’s covered members. It is not a finding of illicit finance.

Live contracted-institutions page

Circumstantial · same two names

MTHFR C677T and A1298C

His 13 October 2016 Scripps Test Details print MTHFR Mutation 677C>T heterozygous and 1298A>C heterozygous — compound heterozygous. This laboratory’s public menu and its QMS catalog both list MTHFR (C677T) DNA and MTHFR (A1298C) DNA, Real-Time PCR. The C677T listing prints created 1400/11/3, about 23 January 2022. His draw is 2016. Same assay names. Not proof this lab ran that draw, and not proof that Iran drawings in a Scripps portal came from here.

Consent, and who minimized it

He says he never consented to this variant work, and that his mother minimized the laboratory’s size. Those are his account. “Never consented” stays alleged until a consent face, a performing lab, or a staff sentence is mounted. Minimizing magnitude is not something a logo grid can prove.

Establishes. Official gazette paper of Padtan Elm names Alireza Karourian رئیس هیئت مدیره and Farideh Kavesh نایب رئیس, with Behnam Safayi Zadeh managing director from outside the board, through 1404/08/17. That is the kit-company slate. The Quality Control Manager on path-lab.ir and the Korourian nameplate on the laboratory door are the same printed name as this chair.

Does not establish. Name overlap is not a finding she put him on the Padtan board because he reports to her at the laboratory. He is already on the 1397 Padtan attendance list. The 1400/02/21 Padtan board election is dated before the earliest Pathobiology CEO gazette mounted here (1400/04/15). Soudabeh is on this Padtan board and is not on the laboratory directory or the physicians table. Gerowgan is not on this Padtan officer table. Two board signatures plus the seal is the printed signing rule — it is not ‘absolute power’ as a legal conclusion. Person IDs are held off.

Wet-ink certificates, then the catalog

The website listed names. The building directory is at the top of this page — the plate that puts Pathobiology Laboratory Center on the door and Korourian and Gerowgan on the nameplates. Then ISO 9001 quality management, issued in the laboratory’s name, from BSI in 2010 (UK / UKAS) through a dual 2014 track — TÜV NORD CERT / DAkkS in Germany and TÜV NORD Iran / NACI twelve days later — then a 2017 upgrade to ISO 9001:2015 on a different Tehran street, then TÜV AUSTRIA in 2020 with pathology added to the printed scope. That is international QMS capability as they collected it. It is not ISO 15189, not CAP, not CLIA, and not a Roche contract. Street numbers are on the faces.

What the issuers are

BSI is British. TÜV NORD CERT carries a German DAkkS mark. NACI is the Iranian national accreditation track, issued twelve days after the German 2014 certificate, same laboratory name. TÜV AUSTRIA is Vienna, 28 November 2020. Initial certification on that Austrian face is 13 December 2014 — it claims continuity back to the German paper. The 2017 face prints a different street than 2010 and 2014; that is a location change on a certificate, not a new legal entity.

Conflict · two numbers

Two TÜV AUSTRIA numbers

The 2020 wall certificate is 20100203008702. The 694-test QMS catalog header is 20152202009708. Both say TÜV AUSTRIA and ISO 9001:2015. They are not the same document. Scope on the 2020 certificate adds “Pathology Services.”

BSI — ISO 9001:2008 Certificate of Registration

BSI Certificate of Registration, page 1 of 2. Street number on the Valiasr line is covered. Lab name, Tehran, Iran, and the ISO text stay.

British Standards Institution Certificate of Registration. Quality management system ISO 9001:2008. Certified organization: Pathobiology Laboratory Center, Tehran, Iran. Certificate FS 562375. Scope as printed: Clinical and Surgical Laboratory. Originally registered 11/08/2010; latest issue 11/08/2010; expiry 11/08/2013. Signed Managing Director, BSI EMEA. Marks: BSI, IAF, UKAS. Issuer headquarters line is BSI in London — issuer HQ, not the laboratory’s street.

Establishes. By August 2010 a UK certification body had registered Pathobiology Laboratory Center to ISO 9001:2008 for clinical and surgical laboratory work. That is a named international QMS certificate, not a homepage list.

Does not establish. ISO 9001 is a quality-management-system standard. It is not ISO 15189 (medical-laboratory competence), not CAP, not CLIA. A 2010–2013 registration does not prove the laboratory ran Hooman’s 13 October 2016 draw, and it does not name Farideh.

Audit 3631 100 C 14555. Valid until 2017-12-12. Initial certification 2014. Signed M. Taborzadeh, Tehran 2014-12-13. DAkkS mark D-ZM-12007-01-01. Issuer: Langemarckstrasse 20, 45141 Essen.

Establishes. Twelve days before the NACI certificate, a German TÜV NORD CERT / DAkkS ISO 9001:2008 certificate named the same laboratory for clinical laboratory services. International issuer, not a local print shop.

Does not establish. Does not convert ISO 9001 into ISO 15189. Does not name Farideh. The 2014 street on this face is covered; the 2017 certificate prints a different street.

TÜV NORD header. Management system as per ISIRI-ISO 9001-1388. Certified: PATHOBIOLOGY LABORATORY CENTER, Tehran, Iran. Scope: Clinical Laboratory Services. Certificate IR 100 14/0267.

Establishes. In December 2014 the laboratory held an Iranian national-accreditation-track ISO 9001 certificate (ISIRI / NACI) in parallel with the German DAkkS certificate issued twelve days earlier. Same laboratory name. Same year. Two tracks.

Does not establish. A NACI mark is not DAkkS and not ISO 15189. Dual 2014 paper is not ownership, not a chair, and not a 2016 patient result.

ISO 9001:2015 certificate. Street number on the Garani / Valiasr line is covered. Tehran, Iran stays. Flask logo matches the later QMS catalog header.

TÜV NORD CERT GmbH. Management system as per ISO 9001:2015. Certified: PATHOBIOLOGY LABORATORY CENTER, Tehran, Iran. Scope: Providing Clinical Laboratory Services. Certificate 44 100 14 405933. Audit 3631 100 R 17578. Valid from 2017-11-30 until 2020-11-29. Initial certification 2014. Signed M.A. Ahmadi, Tehran 2017-11-30. IAF and DAkkS marks. Laboratory flask device on the face.

Establishes. In 2017 the same German body upgraded the laboratory to ISO 9001:2015 and kept initial certification as 2014. The face prints a different Tehran street than the 2014 certificates. Continuity of the QMS name across a move, not a new legal entity from a street line.

Does not establish. A street change on a certificate is not a founding date and not a new company. ISO 9001:2015 is still not ISO 15189. Does not name Farideh.

TÜV AUSTRIA CERT GMBH certificate. Street number covered. Tehran, Iran stays. Issuer address is Deutschstrasse 10, A-1230 Wien.

TÜV AUSTRIA. Management system as per EN ISO 9001:2015. Certified: PATHOBIOLOGY LABORATORY CENTER, Tehran, Iran. Scope as printed: Providing Clinical Laboratory and Pathology Services. Certificate registration no. 20100203008702. Valid until 2023-11-29. Initial certification 2014-12-13 — the same date as the 2014 TÜV NORD CERT face. Signed at TÜV AUSTRIA CERT GMBH, Vienna 2020-11-28. Akkreditierung Austria and IAF marks.

Establishes. By November 2020 an Austrian certification body named the laboratory under ISO 9001:2015 and expanded the printed scope to include pathology, not only clinical laboratory services. Initial-certification date on this face is 13 December 2014 — it claims continuity back to the German 2014 certificate.

Does not establish. This certificate number (20100203008702) is not the number on the QMS test catalog (20152202009708). Keep both. Do not merge them into one document. ISO 9001 remains QMS, not ISO 15189. Does not name Farideh. Does not prove the 2016 Scripps PCR was performed here.

National Standards Organization device at the foot.

Establishes. A national quality-attention certificate names Pathobiology Laboratory Center. That is the plaque the public certificates page lists, now as wet-ink, not only a bullet.

Does not establish. No date line on this face — do not invent one. Does not name Farideh. A national quality plaque is not ISO 15189 and not a patient result.

Iran Health Insurance Organization — thanks plaque to the lab head

Iran Health Insurance Organization, Tehran provincial office. لوح سپاس (plaque of thanks). Addressed to رئیس محترم آزمایشگاه مرکزی پاتوبیولوژی — respected head of Pathobiology Laboratory Center. The next line is a personal name read as عالم حکیم. That is not Farideh Kavesh. Body thanks the laboratory for a superior ranking among the country’s health-insurance laboratories on cost control, and thanks managers and staff. Signed Dr. Kourosh Farzin (دکتر کورش فرزین), Director General.

Establishes. A Ministry-of-Health insurance-organization thanks plaque exists in the laboratory’s name. The public certificates page listed it. The addressee is the head of this laboratory.

Does not establish. Does not print Farideh Kavesh. The personal name on the addressee line is عالم حکیم. Until a face identifies that string as her, or as a title rather than a person, chair of this laboratory stays alleged — and this face is a named-head conflict with the identification of Farideh as chair. Undated on the face. Not a patient result.

Clinical chemistry, coagulation, haematology, glycated haemoglobin, immunoassay, maternal screening. Immunoassay is the same programme already certified for 2017 and 2023. Breadth of a full clinical laboratory, not a single-test shop. Participation is not a patient result, and it is not the 2016 Scripps draw.

Establishes. The laboratory’s own site indexes six named RIQAS programmes for 2024, not a single immunoassay year. That is the breadth they published.

Does not establish. An index is not the certificate. The six participation certificates are mounted next. Does not name a patient. Does not name Farideh.

RIQAS 2024 — six UK participation certificates

Six Randox RIQAS Certificates of Participation, January–December 2024. Participant line on each: Pathobiology Laboratory Center. No laboratory street on these faces. Issuer address is Randox, Crumlin, UK.

Randox International Quality Assessment Scheme, Crumlin, UK. Each face is a Certificate of Participation, January 2024–December 2024, participant Pathobiology Laboratory Center, signed Stephen Doherty (RIQAS Technical Expert) and Sarah Fleck (RIQAS Manager), UKAS proficiency-testing mark. Programmes as printed: Monthly Clinical Chemistry; Coagulation Programme; Monthly Haematology; Glycated Haemoglobin; Monthly Immunoassay; Maternal Screening. Disclaimer on each: personal information supplied by the participant. Immunoassay continues the 2017 and 2023 immunoassay certificates already mounted.

Establishes. In 2024 a UK/UKAS proficiency scheme recorded this laboratory across six programmes — chemistry, coagulation, haematology, HbA1c, immunoassay, and maternal screening. That is international EQA breadth in the laboratory’s own name, continuing immunoassay from 2017 and 2023 rather than a one-year blip.

Does not establish. Participation is not a patient result, not ISO 15189 accreditation, not CAP/CLIA, and not a performing-lab line for the 13 October 2016 Scripps MTHFR. Maternal screening is a programme name, not a record that this laboratory ran his blood. No Farideh. No patient.

Building directory — Pathobiology Laboratory Center names the same physicians

Investigator photograph of the laboratory façade: nameplates, the Pathobiology Laboratory Center hours plaque, and the building. No street number on this face. 2026-07-06 is when the screenshot was saved, not a founding date.

Three-panel still. Center plaque: آزمایشگاه مرکزی پاتوبیولوژی / PATHOBIOLOGY LABORATORY CENTER, flask device, hours Saturday–Thursday 06:00–17:30, Fridays and official holidays closed. Left, under اسامی پزشکان و متخصصین, nameplates as printed include دکتر گروگان / DR. M.GEROWGAN ph.D & M.D. and دکتر کروریان / DR. A.R. KOROURIAN M.D. Also on the plate: DR. R. AMIRI.GHARAGOZLOO D.Sc / دکتر امیری قراگزلو. Transliteration on the plate is KOROURIAN and GEROWGAN; the website table prints کروریان; the PLC gazette prints کروگان. Keep the spellings. Do not flatten them into one national ID on this page.

Establishes. The laboratory that the website calls Pathobiology Laboratory Center puts that English name on the building, and lists Korourian and Gerowgan on the physician directory at that door. That is the same English name as path-lab.ir and as the wet-ink certificates.

Does not establish. A nameplate is not an employment contract, not a board minute, and not a finding she appointed them. Gerowgan on this plate is not on the live physicians table (E-PLC-PHYSICIANS). DR. R. AMIRI.GHARAGOZLOO D.Sc shares a family name with Padtan founder Alireza Amiri Gharagozlou; the plate prints R., not Alireza. Name-family overlap is overlap. It is not identity. This photograph is not a 1970 founding date.

Fourteen-page TUV AUSTRIA Quality Management System catalog. Public faces: cover/page 1, page 9, and a strip of page 9 with the MTHFR rows under the catalog header. No personal name on these pages.

Header: TUV AUSTRIA CERTIFIED EN ISO 9001, certificate 20152202009708. Quality Management System, alphabetical test catalog, code QA/L/751/003/01, last review 1402/03/22 (~12 June 2023).

Establishes. An ISO 9001:2015 QMS catalog for Pathobiology Laboratory Center lists 694 tests and includes both MTHFR A1298C and MTHFR C677T as Real-Time PCR. That is an internal catalog, not a marketing blurb.

Does not establish. Does not name Farideh. Does not name Hooman. Does not prove the 2016 Scripps PCR was performed here. A catalog row is not a result.
