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

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.

The Judicial Assistant at Rajayi Shahr (Gohardasht) Prison has left seven political prisoners in the crowded halls of Cellblock 2 in this prison.
According to reports, Ali Mohammadi, the Judicial Assistant at this prison has left political prisoners Ali Saremi, Saied Masouri, Gholam-Reza Gholamhosseini, Karim Aziz Marouf, Reza Sharifi Bukani, Hassan Tafah and Khaled Hardani in inhumane conditions in the hallways of this cellblock.
After these prisoners threatened that they would go on a hunger strike, they were transferred to two 5 meter rooms usually used as solitary cells.
This cellblock has the capacity to hold 300 prisoners but officials have detained more than 600 prisoners in this cellblock which has always led to dissatisfaction from prisoners.
Prisoners in this cellblock have to wait for hours in line to use the restroom. Protests from political prisoners have had no results and prison officials take no heed of this condition.
Most political prisoners who were transferred are suffering from influenza and have not slept for the last 48 hours because of the lack of a suitable place to sleep.

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
http://www.amnesty.org/en/news-and-updates/clemency-call-kurdish-law-student-facing-execution-iran-2010-12-24
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)

(Reuters) - An earthquake of 6.5 magnitude jolted southeastern Iran on Monday, Iranian state television reported, but a local official said there were no initial reports of casualties.

"The quake took place at 2212 local time (1842 GMT) in the Kerman province ... the quake was felt in many cities," state television reported.

The semi-official Fars news agency said the quake was also felt in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan, which borders Afghanistan and Pakistan.

"Many people left their houses in the city of Zahedan ... It was also felt in the towns of Bam, Khash and Iranshahr," Fars reported.

The U.S. Geological Survey put the quake's magnitude at 6.3 and said it was 7.7 miles (12.3 km) deep. An official in the governor's office of Kerman province told Reuters by telephone that there were no initial reports of casualties or damage.

"There was no damage in the city of Bam but we felt the quake," Ali Reza, who lives in the city, told Reuters.

The province of Kerman is highly prone to earthquakes. Some 31,000 people were killed when an earthquake razed Bam in 2003.

Kerman is not one of the oil-producing regions of Iran, the world's fourth-biggest crude exporter. Iran is criss-crossed by major faultlines and is frequently hit by earthquakes.

In 2008 a magnitude 6.1 quake struck Bandar Abbas, on the mainland near the southern Qeshm island, killing at least seven people and injuring 40.
Deutsche Presse-Agentur

Tehran - Eleven members of the Sunni Muslim militant group Jundollah were hanged Monday in Iran's south-eastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan, the Khabar news network reported.

The inmates were executed at a prison in the provincial capital, Zahedan, for crimes committed in the province over recent years, Khabar said.

Sistan-Baluchistan province, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan, has been a target of terrorist attacks in the past, mainly by Jundollah, which claims to be fighting for the rights of Iran's Sunni minority.

The group claimed responsibility for last week's suicide bombing at a mosque in Chabahar, a coastal city in the province. It killed 39 people and injured dozens.

The government also accused Jundollah of involvement in drug-trafficking, kidnapping and other bombings in Sistan-Baluchistan and charged Pakistani and Western intelligence services of supporting the group.

Tehran accused the organization of sowing discord between Shiite and Sunni Muslims.

Jundollah leader Abdolmalek Rigi was hanged in June in Evin prison in Tehran. Since then, Jundollah has carried out what it described as revenge acts and killed several military officials and civilians.

Last Italian bank suspends Iran oil deals .

LONDON, Dec 20 (Reuters) - Intesa SanPaolo has suspended financing Iranian oil trading deals, becoming the last Italian bank to bow to pressure from the United States to cut ties with the Islamic Republic, trading sources told Reuters.

A tightening of international sanctions against Iran has complicated financing of any deals involving buying Iranian crude or selling refined oil products to the Islamic Republic, the world's fourth largest crude oil exporter.

"They have stopped from last month. They were the last Italian bank available for Iranian crude. I guess people will have to look elsewhere for financing now. Maybe China. But it is getting more and more difficult," a trading source said.

Two other trading sources confirmed the development.

Intesa SanPaolo declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.

The financing hurdle follows a host of sanctions on Iran over its nuclear work passed this year by the United Nations, European Union and the United States. Tehran denies the West's charge that it is seeking to build nuclear weapons.

Italian and Spanish firms as well as Royal Dutch Shell have remained among regular buyers of Iranian crude this year but many traders say the volumes may shrink next year under pressure from the international community.

"Business is continuing but much less than before," said a crude trader with a European oil company.

STILL BUYING

The United States has said it expects Total, Statoil, ENI and Shell to abandon involvement in projects in Iranian oil and gas fields to avoid sanctions.

Still, some companies are continuing to buy Iranian crude. Some have said doing so is exempt from United Nations sanctions, and the European Union said in October its measures against Iran were not intended to restrict oil dealings.

Italian energy major ENI has said it will continue to receive Iranian crude for at least another three years as Tehran still owes it about $1 billion from old deals.

But Saras, an Italian oil refiner, said last month that transactions with Iran have become more challenging as banks are reluctant to get involved.

Iran pumps 3.7 million barrels per day of crude oil, equal to about 4.2 percent of daily world demand.

There is little publicly available data on the buyers of Iranian crude but according to the International Energy Agency, which represents 28 industrialised countries, shipments to IEA member-countries in Europe fell in September.

Exports of Iranian Light crude to European IEA members have fallen to 180,000 bpd in September from 400,000 bpd in July, according to the IEA. Even so, September exports were slightly up year-on-year.

Supplies of Iranian Heavy crude to Europe declined to 660,000 bpd in September from 800,000 bpd in July. Shipments were also up year-on-year, rising from 440,000 bpd in September 2009. (Additional reporting by Lisa Jucca; editing by William Hardy)


Iran central bank repatriating foreign bank deposits .

(Reuters) - The Central Bank of Iran has decided to repatriate an unspecified amount of its deposits from foreign bank accounts, its governor said on Monday, citing global economic conditions as the reason.

"The CBI decided to lower the volume of its foreign deposits and transfer them inward by depositing them at domestic banks," the official IRNA news agency quoted Mahmoud Bahmani as telling a banking seminar.

"It was agreed these deposits should be used to meet the financial needs of domestic projects through hard currency rather than rials so that the domestic inflation rate would not be aggravated," he said.

Iran has come under tighter economic sanctions since June, aimed at pressuring it to curb its nuclear programme which some countries fear is aimed at making atomic weapons. Some of the measures restrict financial transactions.

In August, Bahmani said Iranian assets had been withdrawn from European banks in an attempt to foil the sanctions. Then as now he gave no further details.

The repatriation of funds might indicate concerns about Iran's ability to access its cash due to sanctions or a need for more hard currency in Iran to pay for investment projects, some of which have suffered from the withdrawal of foreign companies under sanctions pressure.

In addition to the sanctions pressure, the Iranian economy is undergoing a major shakeup as the government slashes the billions of dollars in subsidies it pays every year to hold down prices of essential items. The policy began in earnest on Sunday when the price of gasoline quadrupled.

Ahmadinejad calls move to eventually eliminate some $100 billion of subsidies "the biggest economic plan in the past 50 years". While economists say the measure is needed to curb wasteful consumption they say it risks stoking inflation as prices of food, fuel and transport soar.

Iran increases gas prices in overhaul of subsidies .


The Washington Post

By Kay Armin Serjoie and Thomas Erdbrink
Washington Post Foreign Service
Monday, December 20, 2010; A10

TEHRAN - Police patrolled the streets of Tehran and other cities as Iran on Sunday started a politically sensitive overhaul of the way state subsidies are handed out.

Gasoline prices were increased overnight by nearly 60 percent, but most Iranians were allocated a small amount of fuel at severely reduced prices for the coming month in order to soften the price shock.

New, increased prices for products such as bread, heating oil, water and other utilities were expected to be announced Sunday, officials told state media.

The overhaul is highly sensitive because it will raise the prices of nearly all daily commodities and is expected to increase inflation. More than 60 million Iranians have been given the equivalent of $80 as compensation.

Many Iranians believe that cheap fuel - which until some years ago was less costly than water in the Islamic republic - is a birthright. When Iran introduced a gasoline rationing system in 2007, dozens of gas stations were burned down in the capital, but generally people adopted quickly to the change.

No incidents were reported Sunday, but riot police were seen on standby near key squares and gas stations. "We were told this would happen, but I don't know how to pay for fuel in the future," said Hamid-Reza, a young man driving an old SUV. He declined to give his family name.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, during a live speech broadcast Saturday, announced the start of the plan, part of a key economic package aimed at creating a more equal division of wealth. He called it the "biggest surgery" to the nation's economy in half a century.


By removing subsidies, Ahmadinejad and Khamenei have brought country’s economy into the war with people .
NCR
On Saturday evening, December 18, Ahmadinejad announced that the anti-popular law of abolishing the subsidies will take effect the following day. According to this scheme, whose outcome is but deepening poverty of the people, the price of gasoline will suddenly soar from 100 to 400 Tomans ($1= 1,000 Tomans) per liter. Concurrently, gasoline ration is also cut by 10% forcing consumers to buy gasoline at the free market price of 700 Tomans per liter. This leap in prices includes drinking water, flour and bread which are the most important and sensitive fundamental needs of the people.

To curtail public rage and revulsion, Ahamdinejad obscenely tried to depict as if this plan is to the benefit of the low-income echelon in the society. While, in fact, the loathsome regime of Velayat-e faqih (absolute rule of clergy) is after plundering people's wealth and earning astronomical revenues by increasing prices several fold. According to figures by sources within the regime, this plan will earn 100 billion dollars a year for Ahmadinejad's government.

Khamenei's appointed president demagogically claimed that the small amount of money deposited in the bank accounts of family heads in return for the removal of subsidies as being the money given by Imam Mahdi (the 12th imam for Shiites). He added, "We should be careful not to spoil this money with other monies, since it loses its effect." This demagoguery is part of measures taken on by the Iranian regime to hide the destructive impact of this scheme on Iranian masses. Based on technical evaluations, this plan will increase the inflation several fold and drive millions more below the poverty line. Last year, Iranian regime's parliament predicted that with the elimination of subsidies, inflation would reach 60 percent.

President-elect of the Iranian Resistance Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, addressing Iranian people, described the decision by the regime to cut the subsidies as expanding the war of the regime of Velayat-e-faqih against the Iranian society. She added: This decision is directly related to the critical condition of the regime, especially after last year’s massive uprisings that are still troubling it.

She said: By cutting subsidies and increasing prices several times, Khamenei is using Iran’s economy for his war against the people. He is spending not only the oil revenue but also a large portion of the people’s income on a brutal fight against them and on export of terrorism and warmongering in the region.

One of the Khamenei’s goals, she stressed, is to allocate Iran’s wealth to IRGC, which is a wicked militarism with Ahmadinejad as its symbol. Khamenei also tries to reduce the consumption of fundamental commodities such as gasoline in a bid to confront the impacts of international sanctions, especially under conditions that international sanctions get more extensive and effective every day because of his regime’s incapability and incapacity for any flexibility and retreat in the nuclear bomb production program.

The President-elect of the Iranian Resistance added, there is only one solution to save the bankrupt economy of Iran and to put an end to such a great poverty and inequality, and that is to establish the people’s sovereignty. Only by democracy and enjoyment of equal opportunities by every single person, Iranian people’s assets and creative power can contribute to the country’s reconstruction and prosperity extensively.

Mrs. Rajavi called on the people of Iran, particularly the youth, to unite and hand in hand turn the catastrophe that the mullahs ruling Iran have prepared for them into a major challenge against the regime itself. She urged the students and brave girls and boys that created last year uprisings to not allow the velayat-e faqih regime to hold on to power by destroying the wealth of the deprived majority of the Iranians gained by hard work, pain and suffering.



Iran gasoline use drops 16.6 pct after price hike .
(Reuters) - Iranian gasoline useage dropped by 16.6 percent on the first day after the government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad implemented a deeply unpopular four-fold price rise, the oil ministry website said on Monday.

"On Saturday, 63.9 million litres of gasoline was consumed in the country but it dropped by 10.6 million litres on Sunday to 53.3 million litres simultaneous with the enforcement of the targeted-subsidy law," the website reported the state National Iranian Refining and Distribution Co. as saying.

Up until Sunday, subsidies had allowed Iranians -- who see cheap fuel in the oil-rich country as a birthright -- to pay just 1,000 rials (about 10 U.S. cents) per litre for the first 60 litres they buy per month. Beyond that they paid 4,000 rials per litre.

The price hike pushed the 60-litre ration price up to 4,000 rials and the higher price to 7,000 rials.

As well as saving state cash, the subsidy cut is aimed at curbing excessive consumption of valuable resources in Iran, whose economy has been hit by United Nations, European Union and U.S. sanctions in a dispute over its nuclear programme.

People rioted when the government started rationing subsidised petrol in 2007, but a heavy police presence at gas stations and a general feeling of resignation meant there was no trouble reported on Sunday. (Writing by Hashem Kalantari, editing by Mark Trevelyan)



Petrol prices shoot up as Iran scraps subsidies .


(AFP) — Domestic petrol prices shot up as much as fourfold on Sunday as the Iranian government started to implement a controversial plan to remove subsidies on energy and food products.

Iran previously had two prices for petrol, with motorists allocated a quota of 60 litres (16 gallons) of petrol per month at a subsidised price of 10 US cents per litre. Beyond this quota, they had to pay 40 cents a litre.

From Sunday, motorists have to shell out 40 cents for the monthly quota of 60 litres, and 70 cents for the rest of their purchase of petrol, a hike of 75 percent, state television announced on its website.

Diesel prices also jumped to 0.15 cents from 0.0165 cents, the website said.

In a late-night interview on state television, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced that the scrapping of subsidies would start to take effect from early Sunday.

"For the moment we do not have plans to free the prices, but the prices will be corrected. New prices will be announced tonight," he said.

The government plans to phase out subsidies on energy products such as petrol, diesel, gas, kerosene and electricity, and food items such as water and bread.

According to official estimates, subsidies on these products cost state coffers around 100 billion dollars a year.

Soon after Ahmadinejad's announcement, AFP reporters saw motorists queueing outside petrol stations in Tehran to fill up their tanks before the new fuel prices were announced.

Tehran governor Mortaza Tamaddon urged people "not to gather at petrol stations as there was no problem to meet the city's need for petrol," state news agency IRNA reported.

On Saturday, however, Iranian authorities gave 50 litres of petrol at a price of 10 cents as an exceptional measure, media reports said.

Ahmadinejad has been severely criticised by various groups for the subsidy removal plan which has been delayed by three months.

Part of Iran's ruling conservative camp says the plan would further stoke inflation at a time when the economy is already reeling under high price rises and unemployment.

But the government has toned down the potential impact of the plan and maintains that inflation itself has already fallen to single digits.

Parliament had also tried to delay and limit implementation of the measure by challenging the government's sole authority to decide on how to distribute among the poor the savings generated from the scrapping of subsidies.

The Islamic republic's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has backed the plan despite the concerns of some conservatives.

To offset the rising prices, Ahmadinejad's government has begun to pay part of the expected savings from subsidy removals in the form of direct aid to the people.

According to official figures, some 60.5 million Iranians have already started to receive 810,000 rials (74 dollars) paid into bank accounts every two months. This represents 2.5 billion dollars a month in the state budget.

Ahmadinejad warned that the foreign media were acting against his subsidy scrapping plan. "They don't want Iran to progress and become a model country where there are no poor," the hardliner said.
Iran persecutes and harasses Christian family in Ahwaz
Neshan Saiedi, a Christian convert Arab in Khuzestan, was temporarily released on October 13, 2010 on a 250 million toman (about 250,000 dollar) bail after spending close to 70 days in a solitary cell.
According to reports, Saiedi was arrested by plainclothes agents from the Intelligence Agency on July 24 in his home in Golestan Koy in Ahwaz along with his wife and 6 year old daughter. His wife was released in the middle of the night after undergoing prolonged interrogations along with her daughter. But Saiedi, 37, was detained for two months in a solitary cell in the Revolutionary Guards Corps Intelligence Agency in Ahwaz known as the Chaharshir Detention Center.
He was only allowed a one minute distant visit with his wife on September 15 and a 5 minute phone call with her afterwards. In this telephone call, he said that he was treated well by the detention agents but did not explain why as his wife had witnessed from a distance, his hand was broken and in a cast. He said that agents wanted information regarding the church pastors and that they have put him under pressure in this regard.
Agents threatened Neshan Saiedi’s wife that if she talks about what she saw and heard in this visit, she and her daughter would be in trouble and she would never see her husband again. These agents also told her that she was not to get a lawyer for her husband.
Saiedi was kept in detention for a long time in a state of limbo without being charged and was interrogated on several occasions by security forces. His broken hand was apparently the result of these interrogations.
He was accused of having communications with Israel and Britain, apostasy, annunciating Zionist Christianity in Iran, diverting Muslims, baptizing Muslims who had converted to Christianity, holding illegal gatherings in his home and even secessionism for Khuzestan’s Arabs.
This Christian man denied all the accusations and said that he was in no way involved in any political and illegal activities and was only holding religious ceremonies with a number of his fellow Christians.
Agents have told this Christian convert that until his trial or until he is once again summoned, he cannot leave his home and his wife, Mrs. Entezar, has to go to the Revolutionary Guards Corps Intelligence Agency in Chaharshir Ahwaz at a specific time every day to sign in. Before this, they were banned from registering their daughter in school and were told that she has to be registered as a Muslim and if they want to sign her in as a Christian, they have to get a court confirmation.

On Saturday December 11, Jaberi was suspended from work by the Protection Department of the Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company under the excuse of an unjustifiable absence (he was absent for 13 days when he was detained by the Intelligence Agency for the crime of accompanying his colleague’s wife). Jaberi went back to work when he was released on a 10 million toman (about 10,000 dollar) bail…
In another illegal measure, the Protection Department of the Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company has announced that his arrest last year on May Day will also be counted as an unjustifiable absence and a new case will be made against him for this reason.
On the other hand, he was told over the phone to go to the first branch of the Karaj Revolutionary Court to be tried without being given a written summons. (Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran – Dec. 14, 2010)

New false charges brought against political prisoner as an excuse for longer jail term
On Sunday, December 12, political prisoner Arjang Davoudi was taken to the 6th branch of the Revolutionary Court and the head of his court branch, Mohammadyari, accused him of strange and false charges. This court, which started in the morning continued to about 3 pm in the Karaj Revolutionary Court.
Some of the charges made against Davoudi include, ‘acting against national security, instigating public opinion against the government by way of websites and foreign media and insulting government officials’. Mohammadyari also told Davoudi that he would sentence him to another 15 years of prison so that ‘he would stay in prison for life’.
This is while Davoudi has already been jailed for 8 years and has been under the most severe pressure, torture and abuse. One has to ask intelligence interrogators who act under the guise of judges how someone who is jailed and under control can act against the government, insult officials or instigate public opinion by way of websites and foreign media from prison? (Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran – Dec. 12, 2010)

Political prisoner threatened by prison judicial official
Ali Mohammadi, the Judicial Assistant of the Rajayi Shahr (Gohardasht) Prison in Karaj who has a long history in abusing and harassing political prisoners, summoned political prisoner Saleh Kohandel to his office this morning and insulted and threatened him.
According to reports, Ali Mohammadi demanded that he deny his membership in a political organization and not to leak news from inside prison to the outside.
Ali Mohammadi has harassed and abused many political prisoners in recent years. He was a member of the Revolutionary Guards Forces in the 80’s but after participating in the suppression of political prisoners he was appointed as the Judicial Assistant and assistant head of prison.
Notably, another political prisoner, Farzad Madadzadeh was transferred to cellblock 8 in this prison and was beaten. (Human Rights Activists in Iran – Dec. 13, 2010)

Political prisoner hospitalized on 6th day of dry hunger strike

Don't forget Iran's political prisoners
In February 1979, one day after protesters in Iran declared victory for the Islamic Revolution, they stormed Evin prison, which had long been a symbol of the Shah's tyranny.
Emadeddin Baghi, a prisoners' rights advocate, was among the jubilant revolutionaries who inspected the cells maintained by Savak, the Shah's secret service, and vowed that the prison would become a museum where everyone could see the injustice of the fallen regime.
What Baghi did not know was that the jail, far from becoming a museum, would resume its old use and that he himself would be imprisoned in the same cells decades later.
I remember him saying once that Block 209, a special area for political prisoners - where he has been incarcerated for at least four years out of the last 10, and is still being kept today - has not changed much since he visited it during the revolution, though the cells - originally constructed by the Israelis - have become tighter and darker with narrower windows.
Since the revolution, Evin prison, in the foothills of the mountains north-west of Tehran, has accommodated thousands of political and human rights activists. Its most gruesome days came in 1988 with the massacre authorised by Ayatollah Khomeini.
Today, Evin houses hundreds of students, along with Iran's most educated activists and political figures. There are so many students inside that protesters have dubbed it a university; they shout: 'Iran has become a prison, Evin has become a university’.
Most of Evin's political prisoners have been incarcerated as a result of trials lasting just a few minutes - sometimes without the presence of their lawyers. The charges are usually vague - 'acting against national security' or 'propaganda against the regime'. Many, however, are not tried at all and are kept in solitary confinement for years on end.
Ironically, the lawyers who represented Evin's political prisoners are now also becoming victims of the unjust judicial system that sent their clients to jail.
Among them is Nasrin Sotoudeh, a 45-year-old human rights lawyer who represented several prisoners arrested in the aftermath of the disputed election in 2009. She is now on hunger strike. Several other Evin prisoners have also been on hunger strike, among them, Mohammad Nourizad, a documentary filmmaker, Isa Saharkhiz, a journalist and Hassan Shahabi, a member of the union of workers.
Two of Sotoudeh's colleagues, Sara Sabbaghian and Maryam Kian Arasi, were released this week but many still remain in Evin. Shadi Sadr, another human rights lawyer, told me that when she was taken to Evin last year, she was kept in the same cell where her client, Shiva Nazar Ahari, was kept the night before…
Most of the arrested journalists are also kept in Evin. Seven were arrested only last week. More than 100 journalists and bloggers have been imprisoned in Iran since the disputed election last June, making it the world's leading enemy of free expression. At least 65 remain in jail - a greater number than any single country has kept imprisoned since 1996.
Last week the parents of protesters killed in the post-election turmoil were arrested in Behesht-e-Zahra cemetery, Tehran, while celebrating the birthday of Amir Tajmir, who is buried there. The mother of Sohrab Araabi and the father of Ramin Ramezanifar, who also died in the unrest, were detained. Arabi's mother, Parvin Fahimi, has become politically active since the death of her son and has repeatedly spoken out in support of those in prison but, sadly, she has reportedly been taken to Evin, the prison from which she received the dead body of her young son after he had been tortured in custody.
Very little information has been come out of Evin since last year but a few prisoners have succeeded in sending out letters, giving accounts of their ordeals. Some letters were written from the prison hospital.
One shocking account came from Hamzeh Karami, a former commander of the Revolutionary Guards who supported the OPPOSITION during the election last year. Karami wrote that his head was pushed into a toilet bowl several times to make him confess that he had sexual affairs with relatives of OPPOSITION leaders.
Some of the ministers, deputy ministers and governors who had worked under the former reformist president, Mohammad Khatami, were taken to Evin last year. Four out of five main figures who took US diplomats hostage shortly after the revolution have also been kept in Evin since last year.
Recently, Leila Tavassoli, who saw a protester run over and killed by a police car during last year's demonstrations - and spoke out about the incident - was taken back to Evin to serve a two-year prison term. She will spend the first two years of her marriage in Evin. (Guardian – Dec. 17, 2010)

Since his arrest 10 months ago he has been kept in 2A Cellblock in Evin Prison which is run by the Revolutionary Guards Corps.

هفته گذشته والدين تظاهر کنندگان کشته شده در ناآراميهاي پس از انتخابات، در قبرستان بهشت زهرا درحالي‌که روز تولد امير تاج مير که در آن دفن شده را برگزار مي‌کردند، دستگير شدند. مادر سهراب اعرابي و پدر رامين رمضاني فر که آنها نيز در اين ناآرامي کشته شده‌اند نيز دستگير گرديدند.
پروين فهيمي، مادر اعرابي از هنگام مرگ پسرش به‌لحاظ سياسي فعال شد و طبق گزارشات در حمايت از آنهايي که در زندان هستند بي‌پرده سخن مي‌گويد، اما متاسفانه گزارش شده است که او به اوين برده شده است، همان زنداني که جسد پسر جوانش را بعد از اينکه شکنجه شده بود از آنجا تحويل گرفت…
برنامه اتمي ايران ممکن است در سال آينده به‌عنوان مهمترين نگراني براي جامعه بين‌المللي باقي بماند، اما آن‌چه روشن است اين‌که موضوع مهم براي ايرانيها برنامه اتمي که احمدي‌نژاد معمولاً براي منحرف کردن توجهات از نقض حقوق‌بشر در ايران از آن استفاده مي‌کند نيست، بلکه موضوع مهم سرنوشت زندانيان و آنهايي که حقوق انساني‌اشان نقض شده، مي‌باشد. حقوق‌بشر در ايران را فراموش نکنيد.
