Iran: Release US hikers following “grossly unfair” trial
http://www.amnesty.org/en/for-media/press-releases/iran-release-us-hikers-following-%E2%80%9Cgrossly-unfair%E2%80%9D-trial-2011-08-21
The Iranian authorities must release two US citizens following a deeply flawed trial, Amnesty International said today, after the men were sentenced to eight years in prison by a Tehran court on charges of “espionage” and” illegally entry.”
Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, who were arrested while hiking in the Iraq-Iran border area in July 2009, were each given three years for allegedly entering Iran illegally and five years for spying, according to Iran’s state media.
“The conduct of this trial has quite simply made a mockery of justice. There does not appear to be any substance to the allegations that Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal are spies,” said Malcolm Smart, Amnesty International’s Middle East Director.
“The way this case has been handled from the outset strongly suggests that they are being held as a bargaining chip to allow Iran to obtain unspecified concessions from the US government,” he added.
No evidence to suggest Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal were conducting espionage is known to have been presented in court.
The two men, who deny the charges, are planning to appeal the sentence in 20 days, according to their lawyer, Massoud Shafi’e.
“Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal have already spent over two years waiting for justice. The Iranian authorities should take act now and release these two men now without further delay,” said Malcolm Smart.
During their two-year detention in Tehran’s Evin Prison, Bauer and Fattal have only been granted one brief family visit. Their mothers visited Iran in May 2010, in what appeared to be a stage-managed meeting.
They have been denied adequate access to their lawyer and have had very limited access to consular assistance.
A third US citizen arrested with the men, Sarah Shourd, was released in September 2010 on US$500،000 bail.
Eyewitness testimony reported by US news magazine The Nation placed the three hikers inside Iraq, not Iran, at the time of their arrest by Iranian troops. The Iranian authorities maintain that they were arrested inside Iranian territory. (Amnesty International- Aug. 21, 2011)

Violence against women

Female political prisoner denied medical treatment despite critical condition

Political prisoner Farah Vazehan is in poor physical condition. She was taken to the hospital last Sunday after her condition deteriorated but was reportedly returned to prison because the head of the hospital refused to admit her due to a lack of beds.
Farah Vazehan who is suffering from various ailments was arrested during the Ashura protests in December 2009 and was sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court. Her sentence was annulled after an appeal and her case was referred to the 28th branch of the Revolutionary Court headed by Judge Moqiseh where she was sentenced to 15 years of prison on charges of ‘enmity with God’.
This political prisoner who is suffering from heart ailments needs special treatment in [hospitals] outside of prison. Despite promises made to her family, she has been denied a medical leave. Farah Vazehan has to receive injected painkillers every other day in the prison infirmary but sometimes even these injections are not enough to ease her pain.

Dozens of Azari activists arrested in Eftar dinner in Tabriz
On the evening of Friday August 24, security forces of the East Azarbaijan Province attacked an Eftar dinner and arrested a number of well-known Azari civil rights activists in Tabriz. They were taken to an unknown location.
According to this report, the Eftar dinner was held in the Qom Tapeh region in Tabriz in the home of Azeri activist Mostafa Avazpour.
About 30 people who had participated in this Eftar dinner were arrested after security forces illegally entered Mostafa Avazpour’s home.
According to this report, security forces are currently stationed outside this home and film people who come into the neighborhood. They do not allow anyone, even the house residents, into the home.
The Orumieh Intelligence Agency has also summoned 20 civil rights activists and has threatened many more over the phone. (Human Rights Activists in Iran – Aug. 25, 2011)

Iran: Further information: Iranian rights activist and mother arrested
Kouhyar Goudarzi, a member of the Committee for Human Rights Reporters (CHRR), was arrested on 31 July 2011 in Tehran, Iran, by plainclothes individuals believed to be from the Ministry of Intelligence. His mother, Parvin Mokhtareh, was arrested the next day. They are at risk of torture or other ill treatment.
Kouhyar Goudarzi was arrested at the home of a friend, together with the host and a friend. Neighbours reported seeing the three men taken away by plainclothes individuals believed to be from the Ministry of Intelligence. Since his arrest, members of Kouhyar Goudarzi’s family and his lawyer, Mina Jaffari, have inquired as to his whereabouts and have neither been given information on his whereabouts, nor confirmation of his arrest. Amnesty International fears he may be currently held in solitary confinement at Evin Prison in Tehran.
In the early hours of 1 August, shortly after Kouhyar Goudarzi was arrested, his mother Parvin Mokhtareh was also arrested in Kerman, in southern Iran. During her arrest, Parvin Mokhtareh was reportedly told that her son had been arrested and sent to Evin Prison. Parvin Mokhtareh has been accused of “insulting the Leader”, “propaganda against the system”, and “acting against national security”, stemming from interviews she gave when her son was imprisoned in 2010 in relation to his peaceful human rights activities.
A relative inquired about Kouhyar Goudarzi’s whereabouts with the Prosecutor’s office, but was told the Prosecutor’s office did not have any information about his arrest. Kouhyar Goudarzi’s family also went to Evin Prison in Tehran and was told he was not held there, despite unconfirmed reports stating Kouhyar Goudarzi may be held in section 240 of Evin Prison. Kouhyar Goubarzi’s family has not had any contact with him since his arrest and he is believed to be held in conditions amounting to an enforced disappearance…
ADditional Information
Kouhyar Goudarzi was released from prison in December 2010 after serving a one year prison sentence for “spreading propaganda against the system” and other counts in breach of his rights to freedom of expression and association. An appeal was rejected in October 2010.
The CHRR was founded in 2006 and campaigns against all kinds of human rights violations, including against women, children, prisoners, workers and others. It is banned by the Iranian authorities and its members have continued to face intense harassment and prosecution since the disputed presidential election in June 2009.
On 9 January 2011, CHRR member, journalist and human rights activist Shiva Nazar Ahari, had a four-year prison sentence upheld on appeal. A further two-year prison sentence for “gathering and colluding with intent to harm state security” was overturned. She is currently at liberty awaiting a summons to start serving this final sentence. Several other CHRR members are also facing imprisonment or have fled the country for their own safety.
Members of the CHRR have told Amnesty International that Saeed Ha’eri has also received a two-year prison sentence, which was upheld by an appeal court but the details were not available at the time of writing.
Shiva Nazar Ahari was arrested on 20 December 2009 along with, Kouhyar Goudarzi and Saeed Haeri. They were taken from a bus while on their way to the funeral of a senior cleric critical of the authorities, Grand Ayatollah Montazeri, which was due to take place the following day. Facing persecution in Iran, other CHRR members fled Iran and now reside outside the country.
Navid Khanjani, a member of both the CHRR and the Association to Oppose Discrimination in Education (AODE), was sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment on 31 January 2011. He has appealed, but an appeal hearing date has not yet been set. If imprisoned, Amnesty International would consider him to be a prisoner of conscience, held solely in connection with his peaceful human rights activities. In July 2011, it was reported that plainclothes agents had been stationed outside of Navid Khanjani’s home and he expressed fears for his safety at the time.
Navid Khanjani was arrested in Esfahan, central Iran, on 2 March 2010. He faced an unfair trial on 20 December 2010 in Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court. He was reportedly sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment in connection with his work with the AODE; and five for his work with the CHRR. An additional three years were said to have been handed down for “creating unease in the public mind”, and “propaganda against the system”. Navid Khanjani was eventually sentenced to 12 years imprisonment after the court reportedly applied ‘Islamic mercy.’ (Amnesty International – Aug. 23, 2011)

Iranian doctor assassinated after examining rape victims، says his son

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/aug/25/iran-doctor-murder-kahrizak-rapes?INTCMP=SRCH
The son of an Iranian doctor who was killed after examining the rape victims of the country`s 2009 unrest has spoken for the first time about the motives behind his father`s assassination.
Abdolreza Soudbakhsh، a physician and professor at Tehran university، was shot dead by men on a motorcycle as he left his office last September.
At the time of his assassination، Iranian officials denied his murder had anything to do with the cases of alleged rape in Kahrizak، a detention centre that Iran used to imprison many of the opposition activists caught up in the protests following the country`s disputed presidential elections.
Many protesters are believed to have been tortured to death in Kahrizak and several have claimed they were raped.
But the doctor`s son Behrang Soudbakhsh said in an interview with Fereshteh Ghazi of Roozonline، an opposition website، that his father had indeed examined the rape victims of Kahrizak and was under pressure to remain silent about those who died under torture.
Kahrizak became a scandal for the regime when Mohsen Rouholamini، the son of a former senior advisor to the Revolutionary Guards، was named among prisoners who died in the centre.
After Rouholamini`s death، Iran`s supreme leader، Ayatollah Ali Khamenei، ordered the closure of Kahrizak but the opposition leader Mehdi Karroubi later spoke out about the extent of rape inside the centre after meeting some of its victims.
'[My father] was told to say that the victims of Kahrizak had Meningitis. He asked to see the dead bodies and when he examined them، he concluded that they had died under torture and not Meningitis،' Behrang Soudbakhsh said.
'Once he said that how could they rape an 18-year-old kid so severely that he died after that? How could they rape the children،' he asked.
The doctor was planning to leave Iran on the night of his assassination، which his son said suggested he was killed to prevent him from revealing more information. Soudbakhsh Sr had given an interview to Deutsche Welle`s Persian network a few weeks before his death، in which he had mentioned rape inside prison.
'They were thinking that my father was going to the US to reveal his information in details in an open society. My father was one of the few experts in Iran who had precise information [on the issue]،' Soudbakhsh Jr said. 'They killed my father because he didn`t want to lie and he didn`t lie’.
According to the doctor`s son، Soudbakhsh was wearing a bulletproof vest at the time of his assassination. He was shot where the vest did not protect his body by a gun with a silencer. His son said this showed the killers were aware he was wearing the vest.
Soudbakhsh Jr said the police refused to co-operate with an inquiry into his father`s death.
According to witnesses who spoke to the son، but who have spoken in public، the killers appear to have been so unworried about being caught that they did not cover their faces. But the dead man`s family has been unable to watch CCTV footage of the incident.
Iran`s elite Revolutionary Guards and its intelligence unit are believed to be the main groups responsible for the suppression of protesters in the country`s post-election unrest.
Families of the dead protesters have appealed to the UN human rights special rapporteur، Ahmed Shaheed، to investigate the events related to the 2009 unrest but Iran has signalled it will not allow the monitor to enter the country.
The scandal has also taken the life of another Iranian doctor، Ramin Pourandarjani، known as the 'Kahrizak doctor'، who examined the inmates in the detention centre. He died in November 2009 under mysterious circumstances. (The Guardian – Aug. 25, 2011)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/aug/25/iran-doctor-murder-kahrizak-rapes?INTCMP=SRCH

فرزند پسر يک پزشک ايراني که بعد از معاينه قربانيان قيام 2009 در ايران که بعد از دستگيري مورد تجاوز قرارگرفته بودند براي اولين‌بار راجع به انگيزه پشت ترور پدرش صحبت کرده است.

عبدالرضا سودبخش يک پزشک و پروفسور دانشگاه تهران وقتي دفتر خود را در سپتامبر گذشته ترک مي‌کرد توسط مرداني که بر موتورسيکلت سوار بودند به ضرب گلوله به قتل رسيد.

زماني که او ترور شد مقامات ايراني تکذيب کردند که پدر او ربطي به کيسهاي تجاوز در کهريزک داشته است. …

اعتقاد بر اين است که بسياري از تظاهر کنندگان در کهريزک مورد شکنجه قرارگرفتند و بسياري از آنها مورد تجاوز قرار گرفتند.

اما بهرنگ سودبخش پسر او طي مصاحبه‌يي با فرشته قاضي از روزآنلاين يک وبسايت اپوزيسيون گفت پدر او کيسهاي زندانيان تجاوز شده را معاينه کرده بود و تحت فشار قرارگرفته بود تا در مورد کساني که زير شکنجه جان دادند سکوت اختيار کند. (سايت گاردين- 3/6/1390)
