Film about Iranian protest victim Neda Agha-Soltan beats regime's censorsJamming and power cuts fail to prevent documentary going viral

How the Neda film went viral Link to this video Iran is jamming satellite broadcasts in attempts to stop people seeing a new film telling the story of Neda Agha-Soltan, the young woman who was shot dead during the mass protests that followed last summer's disputed presidential election.

Viewers in Tehran complained of jamming and power cuts on Wednesday and yesterday when the Voice of America Persian TV network broadcast the documentary For Neda, featuring the first film interviews with the family of the 27-year-old.

The 70-minute film, made by Mentorn Media for HBO and being screened in the US this month, has rapidly gone viral in Iran in the run-up to next Saturday's anniversary of the disputed elections that triggered the protests. It is available on YouTube so can be seen by anyone with access to the internet.

Street protests began shortly after the polls closed on 12 June last year, when the incumbent hardliner, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, claimed victory over the Green movement leader, Mir Hossein Mousavi, triggering claims that the vote had been rigged.

Neda became an instant symbol of Iran's struggle for democracy. On 20 June, within hours of her killing – described as "probably the most widely witnessed death in human history" – mobile phone images of her bloodstained face were being held up by demonstrators in Tehran and all over the world.

The film was directed by Antony Thomas and co-produced by Saeed Kamali Dehghan, a former Guardian correspondent in Iran. Kamali Dehghan risked arrest to interview Neda's parents and siblings and obtain unseen footage of her life.

Witnesses have said that she was shot in the heart by a sniper with the Basij militia force, who has been named as Abbas Kargar-Javid.

Iran's intelligence ministry is reportedly due to release its own documentary to remove "ambiguities" surrounding her death and provide "new evidence" about what it calls the west's version of events.

Neda's family were under pressure to cooperate with the official documentary but refused. Two of her friends were forced to participate.

It is not clear whether the official film is the same as one produced earlier this year by Iranian state TV. That suggested that Neda was an agent of the US and Britain who staged her own death and poured blood on her face. BBC Tehran correspondent Jon Leyne was also blamed for her killing before being expelled.

HBO says it took the unprecedented decision to pre-release the film for Iranian audiences because of its relevance in the run-up to the anniversary of the polls.

Ahmadinejad today warned the opposition of tough measures, ahead of protests next week. "Those who want to tarnish the image of the country and its system will be removed from the [political] scene," he said in a speech marking the 21st anniversary of the death of Ayatollah Khomeini, architect of the 1979 Islamic revolution, which toppled the shah.

"The election last year was the most democratic in the world as nowhere else would 40 million people turn up for elections," he claimed. Ahmadinejad pledged: "Whoever stands against the Islamic system will not survive." Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Khomeini's successor as supreme leader, boasted that Iran, facing new UN sanctions over its nuclear programme, was in a position to "see off any conspiracies".


Mehdi Karroubi, a defeated reformist candidate, was attacked and heckled by hardliners when he visited the shrine yesterday. "Whoever objects to fraud in the election is accused of being a Mossad or CIA agent," he said. "The fate of the election is in the hands of the Basijis and revolutionary guards." Karroubi warned on his website that the Islamic regime was being ruined. "They speak as if Imam [Khomeini] belongs to them only and others have broken path with the imam."

Saeed Kamali Dehghan guardian.co.uk, Friday 4 June 2010 18.00 BST Article historyFor Neda, Mentorn Media for HBO Last November I went to Iran to film the family of Neda Agha-Soltan in secret for a documentary, which is now circulating virally in Iran even before its public release on 14 June. Neda was killed in the aftermath of the disputed presidential election in Iran last June and a video of her death was circulated around the world in a matter of minutes.


The film – entitled For Neda – looks at her life and death through a series of firsthand interviews with her family, together with amateur video footage both before and after she was killed. Directed by the British award-winning film-maker Antony Thomas, For Neda is a project by Mentorn Media and HBO.


My first experience with Neda's story goes back to the time I was still based in Tehran reporting for the Guardian. Two days after her death I was asked to interview her family but nothing was known about her except her first name and some speculation about her age and her profession. However, I tracked her family down, thanks to a call from a friend who knew someone in her neighbourhood, and wrote an article for the Guardian anonymously.


When I went back to Iran, this time to film Neda's family, I had no idea whether I would be able to hire a professional crew to work with me covertly in Tehran, or even whether the family would agree to be interviewed.


The family's phone calls were being monitored and they were under surveillance, so at first I had no direct contact with them. But a few days after my arrival in Tehran, I received a message that they had agreed to meet me.


My problem then was finding a cameraman to work with me. Having been a print journalist my whole life, I had no experience of film-making but had brought a very simple video camera with me to cover that eventuality – and this saved the project.


In fact, I think it was better than having a professional cameraman with me, because it gave the interviews much more intimacy. It also helped me to go in and out of their house easily without attracting attention.


I will never forget the first day I went to Neda's house. As I rang the bell, my stomach was churning, fearing someone would arrest me at any moment.


Before my arrival, I had regarded her as a symbol of freedom, but later she became someone I felt I had known for many years. She was a girl like millions of others in Iran, who wanted a bit of personal freedom. A girl who was not into politics, who had not even voted, but a free spirit who couldn't remain silent when the Iranian government were killing her countrymen.


The government had built up so many false stories since Neda's death, first by claiming that she was alive and living happily in Greece. Later they said she was killed by the BBC's correspondent in Tehran; at some point they accused the Green movement of killing her, and later the CIA. According to their final account, which was put together in a documentary by Press TV, she was killed by the doctor who witnessed her death.


After spending a month in Tehran interviewing all members of the family, I had to find a way to ship my tapes out of the country. I found nobody who could help, so I put 15 tapes of my interviews in my luggage and left Tehran to London. I still remember how stressed I felt when my flight got delayed for three hours; the whole time I was thinking that the Iranian government was coming for me.


Back in London, Antony Thomas worked full-time on the film until recently. Fortunately, HBO and Mentorn Media agreed to make Farsi and Arabic versions, as well as English. The whole film has been put on YouTube before its public release and full versions of it in each of the three languages can be downloaded from This is For Neda. Although the government cut the electricity in some parts of Iran when Voice of America showed the Farsi version for the first time two nights ago, it is now circulating virally inside Iran; millions have watched it on TV, some on the internet and others are distributing it for free.


The Iranian government is desperately trying to neutralise the impact of Neda's death. So far, they have made two documentaries – the most recent one will be broadcast for the anniversary of her death on the state-run TV. The authorities have advised the family not to talk to the press and put pressure on them to participate in the official documentary of Neda's story – but they refused.


The Iranian regime is repressive, but not unsophisticated in its repression. It uses all the technical means at its disposal to impose its own version of the facts. It is also proactive, often anticipating the opposition's next move. Its Neda documentaries are just one example.


Opponents of the regime must adopt sophisticated methods, too, especially at a time when street demonstrations are suppressed. That is why we need films such as For Neda.

Reza Malek who was taken to a solitary cell in cellblock 240 in Evin Prison on May 29 for insulting Khamenei, was beaten after one week of solitary while shackled from the back and blindfolded. His rib cage has broken as a result and he is unconscious.
Malek, who sustained many injuries, has now been transferred to Cellblock 8 but prison officials refuse to give him medical attention.
This is all while his jail term has ended and agents of the Ministry of Intelligence refuse to release him because a film taken from him in prison was published by the Human Rights Activists in Iran. The Ministry has asked the Judicial Department to issue another sentence for him

Shabnam and Farzad Madadzadeh were each sentenced to 5 years of prison to be served in a prison outside their home town. After protesting Shabnam’s five year prison term to be served in Rajayi Shahr (Gohardasht) Prison in Karaj, and the five year prison term with the same conditions for her brother which was issued by the 28th branch of the Revolutionary Court, the 54th branch of the Tehran Court of Review confirmed this sentence with the exact conditions.
Shabnam Madadzadeh, the assistant secretary of the Tehran Office for Consolidating Unity and a member of the Central Council of the Tehran Teacher Training University’s Islamic Association who was arrested on February 20, 2009 on charges of acting against national security was tried on January 26, 2010 on charges of having links to the PMOI. This student activist was kept in a solitary cell in cellblock 209 in Evin Prison for more than 70 days and was under severe physical and psychological torture along with her brother to force them into false confessions. They never gave in to these pressures.
Her interrogators constantly told her that she was arrested because of her family and that she had to pay back for their actions. In the court ruling, this brother and sister were convicted because of family issues which lacks legal credibility

According to reports, political prisoner Hassan Tarlani who is serving his jail term in exile in Kerman Prison has been under pressure in interrogations by intelligence agents.
He is taken for interrogations every day, where he is abused and threatened, and is questioned for hours.
Tarlani, 23, is the only political prisoner who has been exiled to Kerman Prison. He is kept in the Youth Cellblock with non-political and dangerous criminals who are mostly addicts. Death row prisoners are also put in one cell with him before they are taken for execution to put mental pressure on him. He is banned from communicating with other prisoners and prison officials try to keep him isolated.
He has not had any in person visits with his family since being transferred to Kerman Prison despite the fact that his family comes a long way just to see him. They are only allowed to see and talk to him from behind a glass partition for 15 minutes every month. He is not allowed to talk about his condition in prison with his family.
On the other hand, intelligence agents have confiscated all of his identification papers in a raid to his home and have not returned them to his family despite their constant appeals. This is while his family needs his identifications papers to pursue his legal case.
Hassan Tarlani was arrested on February 21, 2008 after intelligence agents raided his home. He was taken to cellblock 209 in Evin Prison and after 88 days of torture by Saied Sheikhan, a head interrogator in the Intelligence Agency, he was sentenced to 10 years of prison to be served in Kerman Prison by the 22nd branch of the Revolutionary Court. He received such a heavy sentences because of the political history of his family in opposing the regime. His grandfather, a well known Tehran Bazaar member was executed by the regime in the 80’s

Farangis Khanum Davoudifar, Kaveh Kermanshahi’s motherFarangis khanum is 50 years old and mother of two sons although she tragically lost one of them 10 years ago and the other, Kaveh is in prison for over two months. As a young girl who was married 30 years ago she didn’t wish to go through so much pain. She says she wished to have enough money to travel abroad. Well, that was 30 years ago. Farangis married her cousin and soon had two sons. Unfortunately, her husband was severely burnt in an accident and disabled for life.

A young teacher with low income, Farangis soon found herself the breadwinner, the mother and the carer. Life went on as it would until she lost her old son at the age of 18. This left a wound in her heart that never healed. Farangis only lived for her younger son, Kaveh who was 16 at the time. As Kaveh was growing up his concerns grew with him. The loss of his brother, the condition of his father and the worries of his mother were enough to give him a deep insight into life. He began writing in a blog then gradually entered the growing civil rights activities. Well, one would imagine that Farangis Khanum was happy to see her son following her old, burnt aspirations. A woman who once wished to be free and travel abroad! Her son was now fighting her corner.Farangis was a well-informed woman and she used to talk of equality and discriminatory laws in her inner circle of friends and family.

Women often gathered around her and listened. She would often call Kaveh to come along and he would arrive like a hero with booklets of One Million Signature Campaign and to her mother’s comments and women would sign the petition and he would collect them for delivery to the Campaign coordinator. This was not Farangis Khanum’s only contribution to the increasing civil rights and women’s rights activists in their hometown, Kermanshah. Their home was a place where friends would gather to attend the 8 March celebrations or human rights meetings. They often stayed overnight to save money and Farangis would entertain and talk. No one in that traditional society of Kermanshah expected this kind, middle-aged woman talk of feminism and discriminatory laws.All this set aside, one could detect a creeping worry in Farangis’s heart. Who isn’t worried these days? So many people in prisons and so many distressed families around town! Yet, against her mother’s concerns Kaveh couldn’t close his eyes and not see. Sometimes he would go to visit prisoners and bring them medication; Those political prisoners who had little visitations. He would talk to the mothers of the detainees or those who have lost a loved one. Kaveh and his mother both understood the pain and the terror behind the pain. Terror which came with an execution or the detention of someone they knew. Farangis khanum’s worries were not unfounded. Soon they came and took Kaveh away. At the time of this writing, Kaveh has been kept in solitary for 70 days without the right to lawyer. In the first few days or weeks Farangis khanum was strong and energetic. She would go to the court, the security services and demand information on her son’s case. She managed to visit Kaveh twice and the last visit broke her heart and her spirit. Kaveh was weak and psychologically bruised. He told his mother that they have accused him of spying for foreign powers! These days Farangis khanum still goes to the court and the security services to demand the release of her son but she is in despair. She is looking for a dim light at the end of a long tunnel.Farangis did not wish to marry, have children, have a disabled husband, lose one child and have another in prison. She is one of the many in a traditional society which cuts short girls’ aspirations and ties them to marriage and children. These days Farangis khanum is thinking of the crimes she and her son Kaveh did not commit and yet are condemned to pay for. She became a mother by force. Loves her only son to bits and who has the right to take him from her?At nights before you go to sleep, think of Farangis. In the long winter nights think of a woman who is waiting for tomorrow to dress up and go to the court and the corridors of the security services to seek the release of her son. At night before you close your eyes, think of a woman that does not sleep.Written by Bahareh Alavi, women’s rights activist

Among us you were, and without us you left;Like the scent of a flower.
Where did you go to?
In the absence of our Shirin, on the night of Saturday
we spent the most bitter moments of our captivity – a dark and scary night, with
every second lasting as long as centuries, for the rest of us, who so
desperately longed to see Shirin again.The phones at women’s ward were cut on
Saturday afternoon, adding to our concerns.

We were all sitting in the room that belonged to us; and Shirin, who had
tasted the pain of captivity longer than any of us, was the most enthusiastic
about the separation of rooms. But the first to be released from this room was
going to be Shirin and her belongings. That night, those who once, many years
ago, had spent time in Evin, were talking about their memories; about the
loved-ones who used to suddenly disappear in the dark of the night to join the
eternal light of freedom. We spent some hours listening to their bitter memories
of friends with whom they had parted in disbelief before their walks to the
gallows and their eternal freedom.
We admired the iron resolve of these women who so bravely stood up under
the weight of the dusk of lost friendships and now absent friends, hoping for
better days for future generations.

Alas, the circle of injustice continues, and it was not long before our
patience was called to task when Shirin was abruptly separated from us without
having time to say goodbye; as if the noose was calling her name, hoping to see
a glimmer of fear in her eagle eyes. But I know well that Shirin’s courage
was ridiculing that stark Evin night and the harshness of the noose.Seconds were
passing with pain, keeping us waiting for news of Shirin. When they took her
away at 9:50 pm 10 minutes before the blackout (they said it was to
correct a mistake about her father’s name), it did not occur to us even for a
second that this was the last time we would see her.

Her passion for life, her progress and her efforts to learn made her
look like someone who had just been arrested and would be released soon.Oh the
long night we lived through!The prisoner count during the next morning felt like
a heavy weight on our shoulders, as we were sure that, once again, a fighter, a
lioness from the land of Kurdistan whose resistance defied the mountains, had
been lost to the noose. Yet, it was all too hard to believe, even impossible.
Then we heard the 2 pm news, and came to believe that Shirin would never come
back. We, who had only heard through other people’s memories and accounts how
one feels about losing a friend, felt the pain of losing our Shirin.

That night that summed up all the nights of our lives, we hoped for
something that some 20 years ago our cellmates had yearned for over and over:
that one day the injustice will end, and never again will the future generations
have to experience the same feeling.4 days have passed since the tragedy. A
scarf as black as our days, is laid on her bed as a sign of our mourning. I, who
sleep on the floor in the room of political ones despite the insistence of
others, do not want to take the place of my pottery teacher, a place that will
always remain empty.

Following the distribution of the controversial dress code and code of conduct regulations at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, dozens of students have been summoned to the disciplinary committee.
According to RAHANA’s reporter, observations indicate that most students summoned to the committee are those with previous experience of political and student activities or having participated in protests, and non-politically active students have been less targeted by these warrants. The new summons mostly include orders on Islamic dress code and observing Islamic morals.
The new regulations are comprised of 7 chapters and 23 sections. The regulations contain codes such as mandatory long sleeves and loose shirts, prohibiting t-shirts for males and jackets (manto) with bold colors for females, mandating short nails for females, short hair for males and taking regular baths, prohibiting pointed shoes and heels exceeding 3 cm.
Additionally, chapter 6 of the regulations contains the code of conduct. It includes provisions such as prohibition of arguments, joking and laughing out loud in the elevators and the coffee shops.
In the final chapter, students are threatened that failure to comply with the new rules may result in their referral to the disciplinary committee.

Shabnam Madadzadeh, vice president of Daftar Tahkim Vahdat (Office for Consolidating Unity) and secretary of the Islamic Council of Tarbiat Moalem University has been sentenced to 5 years of imprisonment and exile to Karaj’s Rajai Shahr Prison.
According to the “Student Committee in Support of Prisoners of Conscience”, Shabnam and her brother Farzad have both been sentenced to 5 years of prison and exile to Rajai Shahr’s prison. They have been detained since February of 2008. The sentences were upheld in the appeals court without any hearing or the presence of their lawyer. Shabnam Madadzadeh has been under physical and psychological torture to make false confessions as to having connections with the Mojahedin Organization. Shabnam and Farzad were sometimes tortured in the presence of each other in order to make false confessions.
The lower court’s sentence was issued on January 26th in the 28th branch of the Revolutionary Court under Judge Mohammad Moghiseh.
Their attorney, Mohammad Oliyaei-Fard has been unlawfully detained. Judge Movahedi Nia in the 54th branch of Tehran’s Appeals Court upheld Shabnam and Farzad’s sentence without the presence of their lawyer.
On April of 2009, bail was issued for their release. However, Judge Haddad prevented their release in order to “discipline” Shabnam.The intelligence Ministry has adopted a policy of accusing student organizations of having connections with the Mojahedin Organization in order to scare the students and prevent their activities.
Shabnam was very influential in organizing the hunger strike in Tarbiat Moalem University in order to protest the students’ problems. Unfortunately, the university authorities later oppressed the protesters instead of fulfilling their demands. Shabnam who was closely watched by the University’s security was later arrested. Jafar Salemi, head of the University’s security assisted the state’s security organizations in her detainment.
After the interrogations were completed, their court date was postponed 6 times in order to make their detention more intolerable.
Since Shabnam and Farzad’s arrest, their family has been under a great deal of psychological pressure. Abdolallah Madadzadeh, Shabnam’s father, has lost the vision in one of his eyes and his wife is being treated for severe heart problems.







رهانا: روز گذشته ۱۲ خرداد، شبنم مددزاده، نایب رئیس شورای تهران دفتر تحکیم وحدت و دبیر سیاسی انجمن دانشجویان دانشگاه تربیت معلم تهران پس از گذشت یک سال و ۵ ماه بازداشت در زندان اوین سرانجام به ۵ سال حبس تعزیری همراه با تبعید به زندان رجایی شهر کرج محکوم شد.
به گزارش کمیته دانشجویی دفاع از زندانیان سیاسی، این فعال دانشجویی که از اول اسفند ۱۳۸۷ در زندان به سر می برد، به همراه برادرش فرزاد از سوی دادگاه تجدید نظر به ۵ سال حبس تعزیری همراه با تبعید به زندان رجایی شهر کرج محکوم شد. این دو حکم، بدون اخذ دفاعیات و حضور وکیل مدافع در دادگاه تجدید نظر تایید شده اند. شبنم مددزاده در طی بازداشت، برای پذیرفتن اتهام ارتباط و همکاری با سازمان مجاهدین خلق تحت شکنجه های روحی و فیزیکی شدیدی قرار گرفته است.
حکم دادگاه بدوی برای شبنم و فرزاد ۵ سال زندان و تبعید به زندان رجائی شهر بود که در تاریخ ۶ بهمن ۱۳۸۸ در شعبه ۲۸ دادگاه انقلاب توسط قاضی محمد مقیسه صادر شد.
محمد اولیایی فرد وکیل مدافع شبنم و فرزاد مددزاده که سعی در تبرئه موکلین خود داشت اکنون در بازداشت غیرقانونی به سر می برد. و به همین دلیل شعبه ۵۴ دادگاه تجدید نظر استان تهران به ریاست قاضی موحدی نیا با سلب حق داشتن وکیل از شبنم و فرزاد ، روز گذشته حکم آنها را قطعی اعلام کرد.
در اردیبهشت ماه سال ۱۳۸۸ بازپرس شعبه ۳ امنیت قرار آزادی ایشان را در قبال تودیع کفالت صادر نمود. اما حسن دهنوی معروف به قاضی حداد شخصا مانع از آزادی وی شد تا به قول خود شبنم را تادیب نماید.
شبنم که از اسفند ماه ۱۳۸۷ همراه با برادرش فرزاد مددزاده در بازداشت موقت به سر می برد، از طرف بازجویان خود به شدت شکنجه می شد و برای آنکه این دو را ودار به اعترافات ساختگی نمایند در مقابل چشمان شبنم برادرش را تا حد مرگ شکنجه می دادند و بالعکس برای فرزاد مددزاده هم چنین صحنه های طاقت فرسا را ایجاد می کردند.
هدف اصلی از مطرح کردن فعالان دانشجویی در قالب هوادار سازمان مجاهدین خلق ایجاد فضای رعب وخفقان در نهادهای دانشجویی و سرکوب بیشتر به منظور تحمیل کردن فضای رکود در فعالیتهای دانشجویی بوده است که مدتهاست از سوی مامورین وزارت اطلاعات به عنوان یک سیاست اعمال می شود .
شبنم مددزاده که از فعالین خوشنام و با سابقه در دانشگاه تربیت معلم و همچنین دفتر تحکیم بود از این ستاریو سازی ها در امان نماند و پس از خرداد ماه سال ۱۳۸۷ که عرصه اعتراضات دانشجویی بود، وی نیز مورد کینه توزی نهادهای امنیتی واقع شد.
در تحصن و اعتصاب غذای دانشجویان دانشگاه تربیت معلم به منظور برآورده کردن مطالبات دانشجویی، که شبنم نقش مهمی در ان داشت، با پایداری دانشجویان این اعتراضات به پیروزی نسبی رسید. اما متاسفانه مسئولین دانشگاه تربیت معلم و وزارت علوم که در مذاکرات با دانشجویان مشکلات و مطالبات دانشجویان را به جا دانسته بودند و وعده تحقق خواسته های دانشجویان را داده بودند، به جای آنکه برای رفع مشکلات تلاش کنند، به سرکوب معترضین اقدام کردند. شبنم مددزاده به حکم آنکه عضو شورای مرکزی انجمن اسلامی دانشجویان دانشگاه تربیت معلم و همچنین از اعضای هسته مرکزی تحصن بود از سوی حراست دانشگاه زیر نطر بود تا اینکه در تاریخ مذکور و با هماهنگی جعفر سالمی مدیر کل حراست دانشگاه تربیت معلم با نهادهای امنیتی بازذاشت شد.
آنها درحین بازجویی توسط شخصی به نام سید حسن، که از طرف علوی ( کارشناس پرونده) ماموریت شکنجه وی و برادرش را داشت، به شدت مورد آزار و شکنجه قرار گرفته بودند.
پس از اتمام بازجوی ها و تکمیل پرونده، ۶ بار جلسه محاکمه شبنم مددزاده و برادرش را به تعویق انداختند تا مدت زمان بازداشت آنها طولانی تر شده و سختی های بیشتری را متحمل شوند.
این در حالی است که خانواده شبنم در این مدت طولانی به سهم خود فشارهای روحی شدیدی را تجربه کرده اند. تا آنجا که عبدالعلی مددزاده پدر شبنم وفرزاد بینایی یکی از چشمان خود را در اثر شنیدن احکام سنگین برای فرزندانش، به طور کامل از دست داده است و همسر وی هم دچار عارضه شدید قلبی شده است هم اکنون تحت معالجه قرار دارد.

Background


Behrouz Javid Tehrani, is a veteran student in the July 1999 Student uprisings trying to fight for civil rand human rights with his classmates in Iran. While some were beaten, tortured, killed, executed, Mr. Tehrani is the only surviving student from the uprising who is still in prison. He has been imprisoned for total of 10 years and counting! He was recently moved to solitary confinement and in solitary he is subjected to much torture and could result in his death.

The tortures Behrooz Javid Tehrani endures is handed down by the head interrogator from the Ministry of Intelligence Saeed Sheikhan. Other officers involved in Behrooz’s torture include: Ali Haj Kazemi, Ali Mohammadi, Kermani, Faraji, and Hassan Akharian. Behrooz Javid Tehrani has received constant death threats in the presence of other prisoners by the names mentioned above. The inhuman treatment by prison officials has already led to the murders of two political prisoners Akbar Mohammadi andVali-allah Feiz Mahdavi.

Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran (HRDAI) warns against the life threatening dangers Behrooz Javid Tehrani is forced to endure. HRDAI seeks help from all people who care about humanity to save Behrooz’s life. We also request immediate action from The [UN] High Commissioner for Human Rights, reporters on torture, and other human rights organizations to save this political prisoner’s life.

Just last year, in 2009, Sarah Leah Whitson, the Middle East director for Human Rights Watch, wrote: "Behrooz Javid-Tehrani, who is critically ill, is in prison for his peaceful political dissent and his human rights advocacy. He should never have been imprisoned in the first place and he should be released at once or he will likely die in prison."

Exiled Iranians and sympathizers of the Iranian Resistance staged a short-notice demonstration in front of the Luxembourg Parliament on Thursday and prevented the Iranian regime’s Foreign Minister from entering the building.

According to reports, on June 3, after Iranian exiles heard about Manouchehr Mottaki’s plan to visit the Luxembourg Parliament, they rushed to the scene and started chanting slogans against the clerical regime ruling Iran. Chants of “death to dictator” and “death to [mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali] Khamenei,” soon filled the air around the building.

Upon arriving at the scene with his motorcade, a frightened Mottaki decided to flee immediately and instead used the back entrance to enter the Parliament building.

A number of parliamentarians supporting the Iranian Resistance also joined the demonstrates and voiced protest to the regime FM’s visit.

Jean Huss and Marc Angel, two of the Luxembourg lawmakers, said during an interview with the press at the scene that they plan to vote on an upcoming parliamentary resolution condemning the regime’s human rights violations. They strongly condemned their government for inviting Mottaki, a terrorist-turned-diplomat, and declared that they will question the Luxembourg Foreign Minister in this regard in Parliament.

Immediately after his talks with Mottaki, the Speaker of the Parliament released a short statement reporting on the meeting.

“The Speaker of Luxembourg’s Parliament referred to the great worries expressed by the international community and called on Iran to bring its laws in compliance with international human rights conventions,” the statement read.

The parliament’s official website also wrote, “The Speaker questioned the Iranian Foreign Minister about the hanging of 390 people in 2009, to which Mottaki responded that a working group is busy reviewing the mat


An executive with the telecom equipment joint venture told an EU human rights hearing that the company regretted supplying technology used to suppress dissent


Nokia-Siemens Networks on Wednesday (2 June) admitted its share of the blame for Iran's brutal crackdown on anti-government demonstrators last year after selling mobile phone surveillance to the authoritarian regime.

"We absolutely do find ourselves in a tricky situation and need the help of people in this room to help us navigate in these challenging times," Barry French, head of marketing and corporate affairs with Nokia-Siemens Networks, a joint venture of Nokia (NOK) and Siemens (SI), told MEPs during a hearing on human rights and new information technologies.

The Finnish-German telecoms joint venture was at the centre of an ethics controversy last year when it emerged that it had supplied surveillance technology to two Iranian mobile phone operators. The technology was used to track down dissidents amid the mass protests following the contested re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June 2009.

Apart from the crackdown on demonstrators, which saw 36 confirmed deaths, Iranian authorities blocked websites such as Twitter and Facebook, jammed and tracked cell phone calls and text messages. They used the so-called monitoring centre acquired from Nokia-Siemens in 2008 to carry out the work.

Mr French maintained that the surveillance technology was part of the legal requirements imposed by governments all over the world, including in the EU and US for mobile phone operators to get a licence.

"We deplore the use of this technology against dissidents," he said, adding that his company has learned its "lesson" and has meanwhile pulled out of the "monitoring centre business."

Nokia-Siemens Networks is however still selling "passive" interception capabilities, which need "instructions" – usually accompanied by a police warrant – as to what to intercept and where to send the data.

Mr French said that this technology helps police and prosecutors track down criminals and terrorists around the world and that there are international standards requiring such capabilities.

But he agreed to the need for establishing codes of conduct for European companies when dealing with repressive regimes.

Reporters Without Borders, an international organisation advocating freedom of speech, stressed the role of the EU in preventing human rights infringements facilitated by European companies.

"The EU needs to encourage European companies to sit down and carve out a voluntary code of conduct when dealing with repressive regimes," the group's Lucie Morillon said during the parliamentary hearing.

She pointed to the US, where Congress has recently passed the "Global Freedom Act," preventing companies from collaborating with regimes engaging in censorship and human rights violations.

If the EU adopted something similar, it would also make it easier for European companies to resist pressure from hostile regimes to engage in such practices, she argued.

"EU diplomats should also press more to eliminate Internet censorship, they should visit jailed 'netizens' and bilateral agreements should not only look at human rights in general, but also at internet rights," she added.

Rolf Timans, head of the human rights and democratisation unit in the European Commission, rejected the idea of legal restrictions for EU companies.

But he welcomed the idea of "corporate voluntary agreements" and common guidelines for European companies when dealing with these "tricky issues."
With respect to the importance of todays Friday preyers and the threat of death posed on Moussavi we take a look at Khamenei's speech from this particular view point :



NCRI

Khomeini's death anniversary, held today in the presence of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei turned into a showcase of the clerical regime's isolation, internal schism and disintegration.

Khamenei personally supervised the event, which was meant to be a show of force. What transpired, however, demonstrated the public's disdain toward the clerical regime.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, the para-military Bassij and other repressive organs had made every attempt to intimidate and terrorize the public in a thinly-veiled attempt to overshadow the protests expected on June 10 to 20.

The turn-out, however, far less than the regime expected. While most of the crowd consisted of Bassijis and Revolutionary Guards, many in the audience chanted against Khamenei when he was giving his sermon. A number of them were arrested by the security forces.

In his remarks at the Friday prayer congregation, which was also attended by Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, Khamenei threatened the leaders of the rival faction with tough action and execution. Referring to two early Muslim leaders at the time of Prophet Mohammad, Talha bin Ubaidullah and Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, he said, "Talha and Zubayr were no small people. Zubayr had a brilliant career, which few of Imam Ali's disciples had. But Imam Ali fielded an army from Medina and went to Kufa and Basra to fight Talha and Zubayr. So, that background evaporated and ended."

Khamenei also implicitly referred to Sadeq Qotbzadeh, one of Khomeini's confidants in Paris, saying, "Imam said frequently that one must pass judgment on individuals based on their current state, and not their past. Some people were in the same plane with the Imam and came to Iran. They were later executed in Iran for treason."

Unable to hide his anger over the uprising on Ashura (December 27) and his fear of the continuation and expansion of the uprisings, Khamenei accused the rival faction of silence vis-à-vis that uprising. He said, "It was very important that they created that fiasco on Ashura. And then some people stand with those who are opposed to the Imam and his way, or praise them or remain silent. And then, at the same time, say we are the followers of the Imam. This is impossible, unacceptable and the people understood this very well."

Before Khamenei's speech, those supportive of his faction and the Bassijis chanted slogans against the rival faction and in Khamenei's favor, preventing Khomeini's grandson, Hassan, from speaking.

The suppressive forces cut off telephone communications around Khomeini’s grave and prevented people from taking mobile phones or cameras to the area.

The condition of political prisoner Behrouz Javid Tehrani who is detained in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj and was transferred to a solitary cell on May 31 is unknown.
According to reports, prison officials refuse to give him some of his necessary belongings that other prisoners provided for him stressing that in general nothing will be given to prisoners in solitary cell, especially to Behrouz Javid Tehrani.
Evidence shows that officials have subjected this political prisoner to pressure.
There is also no news on the condition of Bahram Tasviri and Mohsen Bikvand, two other prisoners who were recently thrown in solitary.
Bahram Tasviri who is suffering from a fractured hand and leg and Mohsen Bikvand, who has burns on his body, are in poor physical health and are at risk in solitary having been denied medical treatment.

According to reports, political prisoner Hamid Haeri was sentenced to 15 years of prison to be served in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj by the 28th branch of the Revolutionary Court presided over by Mohammad Moqiseh, a member of the death commission responsible for the massacre of political prisoner in 1988.
The Iranian regime tried him without first notifying his lawyer of family.
He was charged with moharebeh (enmity with God), visiting his son in Camp Ashraf in Iraq, supporting the PMOI and spreading propaganda against the state among other charges.
This ailing political prisoner was transferred to a solitary cell on bogus charges in cellblock 240 and there is no news on his condition after 12 days.
Haeri is suffering from a severe heart condition and has had two heart attacks. He also sustained injuries such as a fractured skull and a concussion in a car accident before his arrest.

Iranian authorities have begun police patrols in the capital to arrest women wearing clothes deemed improper. The campaign against loose-fitting veils and other signs of modernism comes as government opponents are calling for rallies to mark the anniversary of the disputed presidential election, and critics of the crackdown say it is stoking feelings of discontent.
But hard-liners say that improper veiling is a 'security issue' and that 'loose morality' threatens the core of the Islamic republic.
Iran's interior minister has promised a 'chastity plan' to promote the proper covering 'from kindergarten to families,' though the details are unclear. Tehran police have been arresting women for wearing short coats or improper veils and even for being too suntanned. Witnesses report fines up to $800 for dress considered immodest.
Some here say the new measures are part of a government campaign of intimidation ahead of the election anniversary this month. The hard-liners have grown more influential since the vote, which led to months of anti-government demonstrations that leaders saw as the biggest threat to the Islamic system in decades.
Iranian women are obliged by law to cover their hair and wear long coats in public. The Islamic veil protects the purity of women, preventing men from viewing them as sex symbols, clerics here say. But the law is imprecise, and interpretations vary….
In 2006, a year after President Mahmoud Ahamdinejad came to power, special moral 'guidance' teams attempted to enforce dress codes in what was the most ambitious operation in recent memory. Hundreds of teams patrolled shopping centers and popular squares, stopping and sometimes arresting women they thought were poorly veiled.
Today some say the repetition of such punishments for a few women will have little effect in Tehran, a city of 12 million people.
‘My white coat was three inches too short on the sleeves,' said Nadia, 15, a high school student who was arrested Tuesday. 'It was impounded. The guidance police called my dad to pick me up and gave me a chador to wear on the way home,' she said.‘Such patrols come and go,' her father said. 'But they leave mental scars of intimidation’.
