Professor Maleki , the first University Chair after the 1979 Uprising, former and present political prisoner, who has been spending the last few years in detention in Iranian prisons for not attaching to the present regime, has in an interview announced deep concern over exceptions made by Green Movement head figures in aiding , helping and even Human Right campaigns.
Excerpts of his interview have been translated into English:
"I feel concerned about our youth. Presently there are numerous youth and unknown Student Activists rotting away in prisons with no specific plan to protect them or defend their rights by anyone! No one is doing ANYTHING bout this. !
They are our children, youth of this homeland. What is their crime? The present government is not concerned for them. And I have rarely seen Green Movement activists and known figures defend their rights to the end!
What ARE they TO DO?
They too have studies and lives to attend to! Families are continuously lining outside Evin prison, seeking their beloved ones. THIS is more ailing than my illness!!
"After I came out of prison, I could see that the same things were happening again. There were distinctions:"ours" and those who are not "With us". And that they were merely concerned for those who "were close and with " them. They would only peruse those related to them to be able to come out of prison or get leave. Not the poor students who are not with them or are just activists. Or they would only ask about the famous people or those who have been mentioned in the press!
Interviewer: Mr. Maleki, you seem to be quite critical of Green Movement leaders?
Maleki : I am Very Critical. They are not dispensing the concern any leader would for the youth in prison, and there are a LOT. Especially un-famed student activists, most of them I know and have seen in Prison, who have been falsely charged for 2 to 5 years imprisonment!
They sometimes refer to them but DO NOT take firm steps…
