Man convicted after mistaking victim for former classmate who had bullied him at school


Saeed Kamali Dehghan

In a literal application of the law of an eye for an eye, an Iranian man convicted of blinding another man in an acid attack has been sentenced to lose an eye and an ear.

The man, identified only as Hamid, was also ordered to pay blood money after he was found guilty of the 2005 attack, according to Iran's semi-official Fars news agency. Hamid told police he had mistaken his victim – identified only as Davoud – for a former classmate who had bullied him at school.

"In high school, some of the classmates bullied me so much that we had to move from the city I was living in to another one. This was carved in my mind and I couldn't get over it," he said, according to Fars.

"I bought acid and went back to my former high school and waited for some of the classmates to come out. When he [Davoud] came out, I followed him and threw acid on him and I also injured my own legs by doing so."

Davoud, who was 22 at the time of the attack, denied ever meeting Hamid, and said the two-year age difference between them meant they could never have been in the same class.

In a similar case in November 2008, Majid Movahedi was sentenced to lose both eyes after being found guilty of throwing acid at Ameneh Bahramia woman who refused to marry him. It has not been confirmed whether the sentence has been carried out.

However, in October Iran amputated the hand of a convicted thief at a prison in the central city of Yazd.

Recently Iran has come under fire for sentencing Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, 43, to be stoned to death for adultery. She has so far escaped the sentence because of an international outcry.

Iran has executed at least 200 people in the past 10 months, according the human rights website rahana.org

Camp attacked and harassed after Ali Saremi's execution: Iran's fear of opposition

While the Camp has been forcibly attacked by forces that are supposed to keep residents intact of any intrusion of Iranian regime elements in Iraq, there have been numerous TV and press coverage of the violent harassment of the residents by Iraqi forces loyal to Khamenei under the Maleki orders.
It is ironic that these attacks coincide with the hanging of political prisoners who are supposedly charged with affiliating with the PMOI or having relatives in the same Camp.
Analysts have highlighted the importance of regime reaction on the Camp saying that it is overdue reaction of the regime to successful advances of the group in International and legal challenges it has fought against regime efforts to arrest, maimed or claim them illegal in international arenas.



Hospital at Camp Ashraf attacked by Iraqi forces:Report by Iraqi TV .

On 27 Dec a number of Ashraf residents have been subjected to new restrictions and pressures by Iraqi forces in charge of ‘protecting’ the camp, al-Sharqyia TV has reported.

The Iranian Resistance released a statement with several pictures showing an armed contingent beating and injuring a number of residents in Camp Ashraf. Some of the residents were forcefully expelled from their place of residence, according to the TV.

Iraq’s Azzaman daily also reported that Iraqi forces attacked a clinic at Camp Ashraf and beat some of the residents. The report stated that a statement released by the Iranian Resistance in Paris said a number of the residents were forcibly expelled from the location and others were injured.

At the same time, Iraqi forces prevented two specialist doctors from entering the camp.



Reactions in IRAQ

A number of Iraqi members of Parliament have condemned the violent incursion into Camp Ashraf on Sunday by Iraqi forces loyal to prime minister Nouri al-Maliki, it was reported on Monday.

One of them, Ahmad al-Alvani, a member of the Iraqiya list, told al-Malaf news agency that, “The attack is a clear violation of all international conventions and has no justification whatsoever.”

Al-Alvani added, “We do not know what organ has authorized this incursion, but the Iraqi government must observe human rights.”

He called on the Iraqi government and the United Nations to prevent such unacceptable rights violations.

Another member of Parliament, Younadim Kana, a Christian, described the attack as inhumane and said, “Attacking unarmed innocent people and those who are protected by international laws in Iraq is unacceptable. International laws absolutely do not allow for such actions to take place.”
..

Mr. Mehdi al-Atiat-chairman of the Arab delegation in defense of Ashraf said in an interview with al-Babeliya TV that, “The commander of forces stationed at Ashraf receives his orders directly from channels tied to the Iranian regime and has a direct connection to the terrorist Qods Force. We have informed international parties about this issue.”

He added, “Currently, the Arabic delegation in defense of Ashraf is calling for UNAMI to be stationed in Camp Ashraf, for Iraqi forces to be expelled, for the dismantling of a fence built separating the clinic from the camp, and also for the disbanding of a committee which is mandated with suppressing the camp.”

“The restrictions, just like the loudspeakers set up at the gate, are imposed daily against Ashraf on the orders of the Iranian regime’s embassy in Iraq.”

“We have called on all international sides to take action and we have apprised them of the situation. Today, we specifically informed prosecutors at the International Criminal Court about the daily aggressions against Ashraf.”
..

The former chair of Diyala province’s council in Iraq has called for lifting restrictions on the residents of Camp Ashraf while urging the parliament to form a fact-finding commission to visit Ashraf and investigate the effects of the siege.

In an interview with the Iraqi news agency, Ebrahim Bajelan said, “I have and will always stress that combating human beings like this is not part of the ethics and tradition of Iraqis. I ask for the creation of a committee formed by all parliamentary groups to support and investigate the situation of Ashraf residents, to visit the camp, and to help immediately to lift the siege.”

Bajelan added, “We must respect Ashraf residents, observe their rights and ensure that drugs and food are allowed in their camp. While at the Diyala provincial council, we respected the UN’s decision not to displace PMOI members in Ashraf and we formed a committee (comprised of the Islamic party, the Shiite coalition and the Kurdish list), and visited the camp and met with the officials there. We inspected the entire camp and did not find even a single bullet there.”

He stressed that denying the residents medical treatment and pharmaceutical drugs is unbecoming of humanitarian values and violates the UN charter which Iraq is a signatory of.

Ali Saremi’s Daughter Speaks on Her Father’s Execution

P2E

Ali Saremi’s daughter: The news of execution was given to us by my father’s cell mates, not by authorities/My mother was detained

Zeynab Saremi, the daughter of Ali Saremi, the prisoner who was executed Tuesday morning on the charge of Moharabeh [enmity with God] was in front of Evin prison when she told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran (ICHRI) that the authorities refrained from giving the news of her father’s execution, and the family was informed through Mr. Saremi’s cell mate that the death sentence was possibly carried out. That is why [the family] headed immediately to Evin prison. According to Zeynab Saremi, even the lawyer was not aware of the time of execution. [Translator note: According to the Islamic Republic of Iran's own rules, 48 hours notice is required to be given to the lawyer of the defendant prior to the execution. This rule is repeatedly ignored by Iranian authorities to pave way for secret political executions].

She added that the security forces have arrested her mother, sister, and some of the friends that were accompanying them in front of Evin prison. She was told [by prison authorities] to either get in the police van or leave the prison premises. She told ICHRI that she is waiting to receive her father’s body.

“Last night (around sunset), my father’s cell mates called our home from Karaj’s Gohardasht ‘Rajai Shahr’ prison and said that Ali Saremi has been ‘abducted’ in a suspicious way. The cell mates realized that he was not around. The cell mates told us to be very fearful [of his fate]“, Zeynab Saremi told ICHRI. “We had absolutely no indication that the execution was going to take place. They had not even informed his lawyer. We were, as usual, following up with the case by visiting and writing letters to the Supreme Court and any other authority who we thought could help save our father’s life. Even last night when our family, relatives, and friends gathered outside Evin prison and inquired about my father’s fate, they [prison officials] told us that ‘nothing is going on here. Everybody is asleep. Just leave!”

Saremi’s daughter added, “Around morning prayer call, two ambulances arrived. One of the ambulances was labelled “inspection”, and the other was unmarked. The whole scenario did not even last 30 minutes. After a short while, three chants of ‘Ya Hussein’ were echoed. The reverberation was so strong that it shook our body. After the police forces began to leave one by one, we realized everything was over. My mother was walking back and forth in front of the prison since late night until dawn…”

As for the charges against her father, she said, “The charge of Moharebeh [enmity with God] which they levelled against him is not true at all. The only tie my father had to the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI) and Camp Ashraf [in Iraq, where most of the PMOI militants are stationed] was that my brother lives in Camp Ashraf. My father had told his interrogators that he was not a member of the Mujahedin and the only reason he had gone to Ashraf was to visit my brother.”

She added, “I ask all human rights organizations not to let the family end up so bereaved. I hope human rights organization prevent them [the Iranian regime] from doing the same to other families.”

Christian man severely tortured in Shahriar Intelligence Agency

Human Rights Activists in Iran, Mohabat News


After summoning a Christian convert who is active in a home church to the Shahriar Intelligence Agency, security forces severely tortured and beat him while interrogating him.
According to reports, Alireza Najafi Zadeh, 23, is married and is the father of a new born baby.
This 23 year old man is a resident of Shahriar and a member of the Karaj home church. He was arrested because of his faith and his Christian activities and was subjected to brutal mental and physical torture for three days…
“On that day, when I introduced myself to reception (of the Intelligence Agency) he asked me to wait. A few minutes later, another person came and put a bag over my head and led me to another room. I could not see anything. They took me to a place where a person interrogated me. It seemed that he had a lot of information about Christianity and Christians in Iran. He asked me to tell him the name of the home church I went to and the names of the church leaders and its members and the Christian satellite networks and enunciation organizations I worked with”, he said.
“When my answers did not satisfy him, he told me that they would keep me until I talked and gave them all the information they wanted. They then took me to another location with the bag still over my head. It felt like a very small solitary cell because I could not lie down and there was only enough room to sit. I was kept there for a while. In this time, a number of people whom I did not see threw water on me and wet me all over. I lost track of time.
A few hours later, I was taken for interrogations with the same person. This time, when my answers did not satisfy him, he started kicking me very hard in my body. Sometimes he would call someone else and ask him to beat me so that I would give him the answers he wanted. That person would severely beat me and use profane language. My hands were tied from behind to the chair and I could not defend myself”.
Alireza was interrogated several times. He was taken to a special room and was hanged from the ceiling with his handcuffs. Security forces then beat him with cables and hoses using profane language to insult Christians, Christianity and his family. When Alireza said that he would talk because of the torture, he was brought down and the interrogator once again asked questions about the home church and his communications with the Christian satellite TV channels.
“This time, when my answers did not satisfy them, they hung me from my feet and started lashing me with greater force than before with an object that I think was a water hose or electrical cable. They would lash various parts of my body 10 to 15 times every time and continued until I passed out. They would then throw water on me and would kick and punch me again and repeat their questions. The force of their strikes and beating would increase every time and their language would become more profane until I totally passed out and do not know what happened after that”.
Finally, on Friday August 31, 2010 after three days of torture and interrogation his family were able to give a pledge for his release from the Shahriar Intelligence Agency. Because of the signs of torture on his body, security forces banned him from going to a doctor or hospital for treatment as a condition for his release and told him to wait for his trial in the Revolutionary Court.





شكنجه و ضرب وشتم يك نوكيش مسيحي در بازداشتگاه اطلاعات شهريار
ماموران امنيتي پس از احضار يكي از نوكيشان مسيحي فعال در كليساي خانگي به اداره اطلاعات شهرستان شهريار، ضمن بازداشت و بازجويي از ايشان، وي را به شدت مورد شكنجه و ضرب و شتم قرار دادند .
به گزارش خبرگزاري مجموعه فعالان حقوق بشر در ايران"هرانا" آقاي "عليرضا نجفي زاده " ۲۳ ساله متاهل و داراي يك فرزند نوزاد است .
وي ساكن شهرستان شهريار و عضو كليساهاي خانگي كرج مي باشد كه در مهرماه سالجاري پس از اين كه بخاطر ايمان و فعاليت هاي مسيحي خود توسط ماموران امنيتي مورد شناسائي قرار گرفت، بمدت ۳ روز تحت بدترين نوع شكنجه هاي روحي و جسمي به سر برد ...
اين شهروند مسيحي درباره وقايع پس از بازداشت خود به گزارشگر "محبت نيوز" گفت :
" در همان روز پس از اينكه خود را به شخصي كه در پشت يك ميز كامپيوتر حضور داشت معرفي كردم وي از من خواست تا منتظر بمانم . دقايقي بعد شخص ديگري آمد و يك گوني بر روي سرم كشيد و مرا به اطاقي ديگر هدايت كرد. ديگر چشمانم جائي را نمي ديد . من را به مكاني بردند كه يك نفر در آنجا از من بازجوئي ميكرد . به نظر مي رسيد كه وي اطلاعات زيادي درباره مسيحيت و مسيحيان ايران دارد . او از من خواست كه بگويم با كدام كليساهاي خانگي فعاليت ميكنم . اسامي رهبران و اعضاي آنها را بگويم و اينكه با كدام شبكه هاي ماهواره اي مسيحي و سازمان هاي بشارتي خارج كشور كار ميكنم ! .
وقتي جواب هاي من بازجويم را قانع نكرد او به من گفت كه ما تو را نگه ميداريم تا حرف بزني و همه اطلاعات مورد نياز ما را بدهي . آنگاه دوباره من را با همان چشمان بسته به محل ديگري بردند كه احساس كردم سلول انفرادي بسيار كوچكي است چون نمي توانستم در آنجا دراز بكشم و فقط جا براي نشستن بود . مدتي در آنجا بودم ؛ در طي اين مدت چند بار افرادي كه من آنها را نميديدم بر روي من آب ريختند و سر تا پايم را خيس كردند . زمان را گم كرده بودم و نميدانستم چه مدت گذشته است .
ساعاتي بعد دوباره مرا براي بازجوئي نزد همان شخص بردند . اين بار وقتي پاسخ هايم او را قانع نميكرد با پاي خودش لگدهاي محكمي به بدن من ميزد . گاهي اوقات نيز اسمي را صدا ميزد و از شخص ديگري ميخواست كه من را به باد كتك بگيرد تا جواب هاي مورد نظر او را بدهم . آن شخص نيز در حاليكه فحش هاي ركيك ميداد من را به شدت زير مشت و لگد ميگرفت .دستهاي من از پشت به صندلي بسته شده بود و توان هيچ دفاعي از خود را نداشتم .
"عليرضا" بدفعات مورد بازجويي قرار ميگيرد سپس براي اينكه ماموران به پاسخ هاي مورد نظرشان برسند آنها وي را به اطاق ويژه اي ميبرند و با دستبند وي را آويزان ميكنند و ضمن فحاشي به مسيحيان و مسيحيت و همچنين اداي كلمات ركيك درباره او و خانواده اش با شلنگ و كابل به جان او ميافتند . وقتي "عليرضا "زير فشار شكنجه ميگويد كه حرف خواهد زد او را پائين مي آورند و دوباره بازجو همان سوالات درباره كليساهاي خانگي و شبكه هاي ماهواره اي مسيحي و ارتباط او با آنها را تكرار ميكند .
"عليرضا" كه هنوز پس از گذشت بيش از ۲ ماه از آن ماجرا آثار شكنجه و ضرب و شتم بر روي بدنش به وضوح مشاهده ميشود درباره ادامه ماجرا به گزارشگر "محبت نيوز" گفت :
وقتي باز هم جواب هاي من آنها را قانع نكرد اين بار از پا من را آويزان كردند و با شدت بيش از پيش با اجسامي كه فكر ميكنم شلنگ آب يا كابل برق بود هر بار ۱۰ تا ۱۵ ضربه بسيار محكم به نقاط مختلف بدنم ميزند و اينقدر اين كار را ادامه دادند تا من از حال ميرفتم و بعد روي من آب ميريختند و با مشت و لگد دوباره ميزدند و سوالهايشان را تكرار ميكردند . هربار حملات و ضربه هاي آنها شديدتر ميشد و حرفهايشان ركيك تر تا اينكه من به كلي بيهوش شدم و ديگر چيزي نفهميدم .
سرانجام در روز جمعه ۹ شهريور۱۳۸۹ پس از ۳ روز بازجوئي و شكنجه سخت خانواده عليرضا توانستند ضامن معتبري پيدا كنند و با سپردن تعهد وي را از دفتر اطلاعات شهريار بيرون بياورند . بخاطر وجود آثار شكنجه و تنبيه بدني شديد ماموران اطلاعات با اين شرط اجازه مرخص شدن او از بازداشتگاه را دادند كه براي درمان تن مجروح خود به هيچ پزشك يا بيمارستاني مراجعه نكند و منتظر باشد تا نوبت رسيدگي به پرونده او در دادگاه انقلاب برسد.

Iran: Members of family of Ali Sarami’s and other political prisoners arrested by authorities .

ncri


Following the execution of Ali Sarami this morning, his family and number of other families of political prisoners gathered outside Tehran’s Evin prison to collect his corpse. The authorities refuse to respond to their enquiries and refer them to Kahrizak death camp in Karaj, west of Tehran. The suppressive forces brutally beat the families and arrested a number of them.

Some of those arrested include: Mahin, his wife; Pouya, his daughter; Mohtaram, his sister; Akram Sanjari, mother of political prisoner Misaq Yazdan-Nejad; and Mahboubeh and Hadi Mansouri, members of political prisoner Mohammad Ali Mansouri.

Ali Sarami, 63, was hanged at dawn on Tuesday, December 28, 2010 in Evin prison, after 24 years of incarceration and torture under the clerical and Shah’s rule. His son, Akbar Sarami, member of PMOI resides in Camp Ashraf, Iraq.

The regime’s prosecutor enumerated his charges as visiting Ashraf, distributing pictures of the leaders of the Resistance in Iran, recruiting and dispatching people to Ashraf, holding organizational meetings and sending films from those meetings to the Iranian National TV (Satellite TV network reflecting views of opposition among others).

Ali Sarami was very popular among Iranians due to his firmness and resistance against the clerical regime. An extensive campaign was launched to save his life by his son, Akbar, a PMOI member residing in Ashraf, after he was sentenced to death.

NCRI - Ali Sarami, 63, member of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), was hanged at dawn on Tuesday, December 28, 2010, after 24 years of incarceration under the clerical and Shah’s rule.

Since the beginning of the clerical rule, Sarami was arrested four times. The last time he was arrested was in August 2007 during a ceremony marking the anniversary of massacre of political prisoners. After the Ashura uprising in December 2009, he was sentenced to death.



Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, offered her condolences to his family, especially to his son, Akbar, in Camp Ashraf. She said that Ali’s execution highlighted the Iranian regime’s fear of the PMOI and the Iranian Resistance and it was the regime’s way of taking revenge following its repeated failures to plot against Ashraf, which is standing firm and steadfast. She added that this great crime only reflects the regime’s inability and frustration in face of the resolute Iranian youths and members of PMOI who are determined to overthrow the clerical rule and establish freedom and the rule of people in Iran.

The regime’s so called Revolutionary Prosecutor described Sarami’s charge as “publicity activities against the sacred rule of Islamic Republic.” He wrote: “He visited Ashraf and during that he received necessary trainings and returned to the country… and eventually he was arrested in August 2007 for his repeated activities and participation in counter revolutionary ceremonies and gatherings in support of PMOI and dispatching reports to this grouplet (PMOI). During a search in his house some CDs, films, pictures from PMOI and hand written organizational documents linked to the grouplet were found and confiscated.”

The henchmen of the regime subjected Sarami to the most brutal torture and pressures until his last days in a bid to break his resistance, but despite all his ailments and intolerable prison conditions, he stood firm on the ideal of freedom and liberation for the people of Iran and did not yield.

When receiving his death sentence he said: "They cannot frighten me and my freedom-loving compatriots by execution and hanging... The only reason for such sentences is their fear of their own unstable state".

Following Ali Sarami's execution, his daughter was arrested by the regime's henchmen this morning outside Evin Prison in Tehran.

“The Authorities Did Not Inform Us Of My Father’s Execution,” Says Ali Saremi’s Daughter

International Campaign for Human Rights

Zeinab Saremi, daughter of Ali Saremi, who was executed in Tehran’s Evin Prison on Tuesday morning on the charge of moharebeh, enmity with God, told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran that Iranian authorities had not informed the family of her father’s impending execution, and that the family had been alerted about the possibility of the execution through Saremi’s cellmates at Rajaee Shahr Prison, whereupon the family had rushed to Evin Prison. According to Saremi’s daughter, who was still outside Evin Prison Complex at the time of interview, even his attorney was not aware of his time of execution.

Condolences to all Iranian Political prisoners & Iranian people : unjust execution of Ali Saremi today

We have heard from sources that early this morning Ali Saremi, distinguished political prisoner who served a sentence during the time of the Shah as well as the present tyranny, was hanged today.

Saremi has spent a total of 23 years in prisons operated by either the Shah monarchy or the current Iranian regime. He was last arrested in the summer of 2007 for attending a ceremony that marked the 19th anniversary of the 1988 massacre of about 30,000 Iranian political prisoners. Saremi was sentenced to death on December 29, 2009.


He was known to be one of the eldest political prisoners well esteemed amongst others for his perseverance and courage to stand for FREEDOM under all circumstances.
He was supposedly charged to have participated in the Ashura protests , while he was serving prison during the protests of 2009 and was arrested long before the protests because he had been active in participating in Khavaran gatherings , reminding all of us the languish of families of those massacred by the same regime during the 1980s.

His second charge was that he had visited a relative in Camp Ashraf, home to 3400 PMPOI residents. His charges where never proved against International Law and reasoning and where only political excuses used by the weak regime to exert pressure on its opposition and their families.

He was an enchained hostage in the dampened dungeons of fundamentalist regime in power.
Despite this he was never silenced and was full of life and blooming in his fight against injustice.
His letters depict a resistant and resolved spirit that was engine to many other political prisoners.
Some letters were revelations of Prison conditions some only to say “NO” to torture and pressure , while he was under pressure and torture




Previous letters of revelation from Prison by Ali Saremi

In the name of God,

Since his [Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei] majesty’s accession to the throne, I have been in prison and I am unaware what is happening outside. However, in the same year when he was crowned, the price of 700 grams of dates were 1,250 tomans [approximately $1.25] but right now, the same amount of dates is sold for 3,700 tomans [approximately $3.70]. Similarly, to rent a house, we then paid a deposit of two million tomans [approximately two thousand USD] and the monthly rent was 70,000 tomans [approximately 70 USD), but nowadays, the required deposit has increased to 10 million tomans [approximately 10 thousand USD], and the monthly rent is 200 thousand tomans [approximately 200
USD].

At the same time when I was arrested, an interrogator claimed that
there were only a total of 80 political prisoners in the entire country. Right
now, there are more than 400 political prisoners only in Evin and Gohardasht
prisons. I don’t know about the rest of the country. Besides, in those years, a
few party insiders were politically active. Right now, even that does not exist.

It isn’t very difficult to determine under what conditions non-political
prisoners live. Once a prisoner arrives here, he has nothing but a little money
in his pocket and the clothing on his back. New prisoners spend one to three
days in an isolated ward where they receive a set of undergarments and a
disposable bowl and cup. However, when prisoners enter the general population in
the prison, they are given no clothing, dishes, cups, toothbrushes or
toothpaste. Prisoners must provide all these items for themselves.

All this is happening while the majority of the prisoners have no home, have been
estranged from their families, or their loved ones can’t financially support
them. Some of the prisoners suffer from mental problems or have illnesses that
render them incapacitated. The lives of these prisoners in need are
unfortunately pitiful. These prisoners eat their food out of plastic containers
cut from used milk jugs or cleaning agents.

Additionally, the number of prisoners is increasing every day due to the inability and incompetency of those managing the country. In year 2009, when I was transferred to Gohardasht prison in the city of Karaj, there were 500 prisoners in ward 4 where I am held. This year, the number of prisoners in the same ward has increased to 1,300 individuals, an increase of 2.5 times since a year ago by adding 60 prisoners to
the population of captives every month.

Gohardasht prison has eight wards to which 450 prisoners have been added in the last year. Since there are ten prisons in Tehran, it can be concluded that 4,500 additional citizens are incarcerated every month. Consequently, the prison population in Iran’s ten biggest cities is increasing by 45,000 individuals every month.

The question that all of us must ask is this: If this regime manages to survive a
few more years, what will happen to the Iranian people? In addition to narcotics
addiction, no hot water or other amenities are found in prisons.

Ali
Saremi

November 17, 2010

A letter Saremi Wrote after he learnt of his sentence:

In the name of God,

I have read once more in newspapers that the [regime’s] prosecutor has said that the death sentences of six PMOI supporters were confirmed and will soon be implemented.

The prosecutor must be asked: Have you really given this nation anything other than death, poverty, terror and batons over the past thirty one years that you have been in power?

Looking back at the events of the past 31 years, one would realize that
the execution of us six is not a novel and astonishing tale. This is the only
thing that you are capable of doing. Have you dreadful reactionaries brought
anything for the Iranian people other than death?

While you continue to subject this nation to humiliation, death, gloom and illusions, beware that the day of the people’s retribution is near. You are showered each night and day with the people’s hatred and abhorrence. Don’t think for a moment that people are ignorant and would forget the batons, chains, and knives, Kahrizak [notorious prison], the persistent murders, or plainclothes agents and thugs who rain down on people with batons.

On Judgment Day you will be standing beside the pharaohs, Nero, Genghis Khan, and others who have betrayed nations throughout history. It will not be long. Where will you so-called prosecutors who justify baseless sentences handed down by your so-called courts find a place among humans and Muslims?

This nation will not join hands with tyrants.
You have made life intolerable for people by creating plenty of empty dinner
tables, abandoned children, drug addiction, and jealousy. How dare you continue
to rule, talk and make promises? Are you not mortified? Shame on all of you.

Political prisoner Ali Saremi

بنام خدا
از زمانی که ایشون بر تخت جلوس فرموده اند بنده در زندان بسر می برم و از اوضاع بیرون از زندان بی خبرم ولی سال جلوس ایشان ما یک پاکت خرما 700 گرمی را می خریدیم 1250 تومان ولی اکنون آخرین خرید ما 3700 تومان بوده است. اجاره منزل ما 2 میلیون پول پیش قسط بوده و 70 هزار تومان اجاره ولی اکنون 10 میلیون پول پیش قسط و 200 هزار تومان اجاره ماهیانه است .
همان زمان که مرا دستگیر کردند به گفتۀ بازجو کل زندانیان سیاسی سراسر کشور 80 نفر بودند در حالی که اکنون فقط در زندان گوهردشت و اوین بیش از 400 نفر زندانی سیاسی می باشد در بقیه کشور هم خبری ندارم. در آن زمان تعدادی حزب خودی که فعالیت داشتند اکنون همانها هم وجود ندارند.
برآورد وضعیت زندانیهای غیر سیاسی زیاد دشوار نیست یک زندانی هنگامی که به زندان وارد می شود جزء مقداری پول در جیب و لباس تنش چیز دیگری ندارد. در قرنطینه زندان که معمولا از یک تا 3 روز طول می کشد یک دست لباس زیر و ظرف غذا و لیوان یک بار مصرف به هر نفر می دهند. ولی هنگامی که وارد بند می شوند نه از لباس خبری هست و نه از ظرف غذا و لیوان و مسواک و خمیر دندان و همۀ اینها را خود زندانی باید تهیه نماید.
این در حالی است که بسیاری از زندانیها خانه ندارند و یا از خانواده طرد شده اند و یا خانوادۀ آنها توان تامین مالی آنها را ندارند شماری از اینها دچار اختلالت روانی هستند و یا دچار بیماریهای هستند که نمی توانند خودشون را کنترل نمایند.
زندگی این نیازمندان بطور تاسفباری رقت انگیز است. غذای خود را داخل تکه ای پلاستیک و یا بریده ظرف شیری که دیگران خورده اند و یا بخشی از بریده یک دبۀ 4 لیتری مایع دستشویی پلاستیکی می گیرند و می خورند مظاف بر اینها افزایش روز افزون زندانیان می باشد. که در اثر ناتوانی مدیریت کلان کشور در ادارۀ آن است .آمار سال 88 که من به زندان گوهردشت منتقل شدم . آن زمان آمار زندانیهای بند ما (بند4 ) در حدود 500 نفر بودند امسال همان آبان ماه آمار زندانیهای بند ما 1300 نفرند یعنی ظرف یک سال بیش از 2.5 برابر شده اند ماهیانه بیش از 60 نفر به تعداد زندانیها افزوده می شود.
زندان گوهردشت 8 بند دارد که به همین نسبت به زندانیهای آنها نیز افزوده شده اند یعنی افزایش زندانی ظرف 1 سال در زندان گوهردشت بیش از 450 نفر بوده است با توجه به اینکه که در تهران بیش از 10 زندان وجود دارد پس افزایش زندان در تهران ماهیانه بیش از 4500 نفر می باشد و چون بیش از 10 شهر بزرگ در کشور وجود دارد افزایش زندانیها در ماه بیش از 45 هزار نفر می باشد .
حال باید پرسید اگر این حکومت خدای نکرده چند سال دیگر ادامه پیدا کند تکلیف مردم ایران چه خواهد بود؟ همۀ اینها جدای از مسئلۀ اعتیاد نبود آب گرم و غیره در زندان می باشد.
وسلام

Jailed blogger writes letter from prison detailing his rights violations

Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran

Letter of jailed blogger Mohammad-Reza Pour:

Intelligence agents raided my home on September 12, 2010 and after arresting me,
confiscated some of my personal belongings… They transferred me to cellblock 8
in Rajayi Shahr (Gohardasht) Prison known as the Sepah Cellblock.
The next
day I cut my wrists in an attempt to commit suicide because of the intolerable
pressure I was put under. My suicide was unsuccessful and I was taken to the
hospital for treatment.
In the first days of my interrogations when the
pressure started, they took dozens of pages of interrogations from me. On
Tuesday August 25, after severe beatings, my interrogators requested I write my
will and they subsequently carried out a mock execution.
Since the first day
of my arrest, I have been threatened with execution by my interrogators and
torturers…
I am currently detained in the prayer hall of Hall 2 in Section 1
known as the ‘end of the world’ and have the minimum facilities. I am banned
from receiving visits, making telephone calls or contacting my lawyer. I am kept
with dangerous criminals and convicted murderers and have no security.
I am
suffering from kidney stones, a slipped disk disorder and sinusitis and the most
treatment I receive is two painkillers. I am taken to the court without the
knowledge of my family and my rights as a political prisoner are violated as I
am taken to court with shackles. In court, my lawyer, jury and the press are
banned from participating and the judge actually sits in the place of my
complainant.

"Every Night they drag our stars down..
But this sad night of ours has always been filled with stars
shinny as ever "

AFP:Filmmaker denounced Iran artistic crackdown: press

AFP

Jailed filmmaker JafarPanahi accused Iranian authorities of 'kidnapping' Iranian artists to intimidate them, according to a transcript of his trial plea published in France Tuesday.
Panahi, 50, was handed a six-year jail term by an Iranian court for 'propaganda against the system,' his lawyer said. Another director working with him, Mohammad Rasoulof, was also reportedly sentenced to six years' jail.
‘My imprisonment and that of those I work with symbolises the kidnapping by those in power carried out against all artists in the country,' he said in his plea to the court on November 7, published by French newspaper Le Monde.
‘The message these actions gives seems to me clear and sad: whoever does not think like us will be sorry for it,' he added.
Panahi's lawyer Farideh Gheirat said Monday the court banned the filmmaker, widely known outside Iran for award-winning films such as 'The Circle,' 'Crimson Gold' and 'Offside', from making films or leaving Iran for 20 years.
He was initially arrested in March along with his wife, daughter and several others at his home, and later bailed.
Authorities accused him of making an 'anti-regime' film about the unrest which rocked Iran after the disputed re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June 2009.
Panahi's arrest was protested by artists including top filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Ang Lee and Oliver Stone.
.We have been hit by censorship before but this is the first time a filmmaker has been sentenced and imprisoned to stop him making a film,' he said in the plea, which described police raiding his home and threatening his family.

Iran continues its harassment of dissident university professors

Jaras Website

The pressures and threats against dissident professors in the Law and Political Science Department of Tehran University have increased.
According to reports, these pressures which come in the shape of summonses, threats and harassment of professors reached their climax after election events last year.

Amnesty Internationl Appeal for life of Habibollah Latifi

CLEMENCY CALL FOR KURDISH LAW STUDENT FACING EXECUTION IN IRAN

24 December 2010
Amnesty International today called on the Iranian authorities to halt the imminent execution of a Kurdish law student, scheduled for 26 December, and to commute his death sentence.

The lawyer of Habibollah Latifi, a law student at Azad University in the south western province of Ilam, has been informed by the Iranian authorities that Habibollah Latifi’s execution will take place on 26 December at Sanandaj Prison, Kordestan, in western Iran.

“We are urgently appealing to the Iranian authorities to show clemency, halt the imminent execution of Habibollah Latifi, and commute his death sentence,” said Malcolm Smart, Amnesty International’s Director for the Middle East and North Africa.

“While we recognise that governments have a responsibility to bring to justice those who commit crimes, this must be done according to international standards for fair trial. Amnesty International is unconditionally opposed to the death penalty - the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment - in all cases.”

Habibollah Latifi was arrested on 23 October 2007 in Sanandaj, the Kordestan provincial capital, north-western Iran. His trial was held behind closed doors and his lawyer was not allowed to be present to defend him. Nor was his family allowed to attend the trial.

He was convicted of moharebeh (enmity against God), by the Sanandaj Revolutionary Court, in connection with his alleged membership of and activities on behalf of the Kurdish Independent Life Party (PJAK), a proscribed armed group.

On 3 July 2008 Habibollah Latifi was sentenced to death, his death sentence was upheld by the Appeal Court in Sanandaj on 18 February 2009.
It is not known whether the Iranian authorities have notified Habibollah Latifi’s family of his planned execution.

“It is clear that Habibollah Latifi did not receive a fair trail by international standards, which makes the news of his impending execution all the more abhorrent,” said Malcolm Smart

Amnesty International REPORT: Iran- Executions by stoning

Death by stoning is the mandatory sentence for “adultery while married” in iran. Even though a moratorium on Such Executions was announced In 2002, Stonings continue.
amnesty International is working alongside the many Iranians who are campaigning to end Iran’s resort to this particularly abhorrent method of Execution.
In this document Amnesty International calls on the Iranian authorities to fully respect the moratorium, including by ensuring that all individuals sentenced to stoning will not face execution by other means. The organization also calls for the decriminalization of consensual sexual relations between adults and for lawyers defending stoning cases to be allowed to carry out their work without fear of persecution.

Iran lawyer defiant as hunger strike takes toll

The Times – Dec. 18, 2010


Nasrin Sotoudeh has spent 105 days in solitary confinement and is so weak from her hunger strike that she can barely finish sentences.
The leading Iranian human rights lawyer has nonetheless issued a declaration of defiance from her prison cell.
‘If you are going to hell, then go like a man,' she told The Times in a message sent from Tehran's infamous Evin prison via her husband, Reza Khandan. 'Let them give me a harsh sentence because that brings a person honour’.
Mr Khandan, who risked reprisals for speaking to a foreign journalist, said that he was proud of his wife and supported her stand, whatever the price.
‘I very much fear for her life, but I don't know what I can do to save her,' he said.
Ms Sotoudeh, 47, the mother of two young children, is becoming the latest symbol of the regime's barbarity.
She was arrested on September 4 for defending Shirin Ebadi, the exiled Nobel Peace laureate, and dozens of political prisoners arrested after last year's disputed election.
Since then she has been denied almost any contact with her lawyer and family, and was refused permission to attend her father's funeral.
She went on a dry hunger strike, taking no fluids, that the authorities thwarted by putting her on a drip, but then she began a hunger strike on December 6.
Ms Sotoudeh is awaiting what her husband expects to be a long sentence on charges of spreading propaganda and threatening national security.
She faces an additional charge of appearing with her head uncovered in a film that she made for an awards ceremony in Italy in December last year, which she had been barred from attending.
British ambassador in Tehran Simon Gass said: 'Her real crime is doing her job courageously and highlighting injustices that the regime would prefer stayed hidden’.
Ms Sotoudeh gave her husband the message for The Times during a rare telephone conversation.
‘Her voice was trembling and extremely weak. She had to summon all her energy to finish her sentences,' he said.

مقاومت وکیل ایرانی در عین تشدید عوارض اعتصاب غذا

نسرین ستوده 105روز را در زندان انفرادی به‌سر برده و به‌دلیل اعتصاب‌غذا آنقدر ضعیف است که به سختی می‌تواند محکومیتش را به پایان برساند.
با این وجود، این وکیل ایرانی برجسته حقوق‌بشر، یک بیانیه مقاومت از سلول خود منتشر کرده است.
او در پیامی که از طریق همسر وی، رضا خندان، از زندان بدنام اوین در تهران ارسال شده بود به تایمز گفت، ”اگر قرار است به جهنم بروید، مثل یک مرد بروید (if you are going to hell، then go like a man). بگذار به من محکومیت سختی بدهند، زیرا این باعث افتخار است. “
آقای خندان، که به‌خاطر صحبت با یک خبرنگار خارجی احتمال دارد مورد انتقام جویی قرار گیرد، گفت که او به همسرش افتخار می‌کند و از موضع وی حمایت می‌کند، و قیمتش هر چه می‌خواهد باشد.
او گفت، ”من شدیداً نگران جان او هستم، ولی نمی‌دانم برای نجات جانش چه کاری از دستم بر می‌آید. “ …
او تقریباً از هرگونه رابطه با وکیل و خانواده‌اش منع شده، و اجازه نیافت در مراسم خاک سپاری پدرش حضور یابد…
خانم ستوده در یک تماس نادر تلفنی، این پیام به تایمز را، به همسر خود داد.
او گفت، ”صدای او میلرزید و شدیداً ضعیف بود. او باید برای به اتمام رساندن جملاتش تمام انرژیاش را به‌کار می‌گرفت. “ (تایمز - 27/9/89)
