Basic freedom and rights abused

20 child abuse cases on every day in Iran: Report
http://www.asriran.com/fa/news/185018
Statistics show that 7,400 cases of child abuse have been dealt with by the Social Emergency Department.
According to reports, the numbers of child abuse is much more than one can imagine. The Social Emergency Department which is only active in Tehran and a number of other large cities in the country sees to 20 cases of child abuse every day. In other words, the scope of this social abuse is so large that no boundaries can be set for it because the figures given by the Welfare organization are only compiled from the reported cases of child abuse and not all child abuse cases.
This is while ground investigations show that the real numbers are 20 times more than the announced numbers...
In other words, maybe it can be said that the real figures of child abuse in Iran are 400 cases a day. Which means, more than 146,000 children are abused by their parents every year. (Khabar Online state-run website, Asre Iran state-run website- Oct. 13, 2011)

Iran court refers pastor's case to supreme leader: lawyer
The court case of an Iranian pastor facing a possible death sentence for apostasy is being referred to Iran's supreme leader, the pastor's lawyer told AFP on Monday.
‘The court has decided to ask the opinion of Mr (Ali) Khamenei,' Iran's supreme leader, in the matter of pastor Yusef Nadarkhani, lawyer Mohammad Ali Dadkhah said.
Ayatollah Khamenei has ultimate authority in the Islamic republic.
However the move to involve him in the case is unusual, and suggested that a final verdict in the case -- which has garnered international attention -- could be delayed.
Nadarkhani's lawyer had previously been expecting a verdict any time from last Saturday.
Nadarkhani, a 32-year-old pastor of a small evangelical community called the Church of Iran, was arrested in October 2009 and condemned to death under Islamic sharia law for converting to Christianity when he was 19.
Sharia law allows for such verdicts to be overturned if the convicted person 'repents' and renounces his conversion.
After his conviction was upheld by an appeals court in Gilan province in September 2010, Nadarkhani turned to the supreme court.
In July, the supreme court overturned the death sentence and sent the case back to the court in his hometown of Rasht, in Gilan province...
On September 30, Gilan's deputy governor general said Nadarkhani should not face the death penalty for apostasy, but also referred for the first time to 'security crimes' allegedly committed by the pastor whom he labelled a 'Zionist.’
But Dadkhah said the only charge stated in the case was related to apostasy. (AFP – Oct. 10, 2011)

نقض حقوق پايه اي

هر روز ۲۰ کودک آزاري در ايران گزارش مي شود

http://www.asriran.com/fa/news/185018

آمارها نشان مي دهد اورژانس اجتماعي در سال گذشته به 7400 مورد کودک آزاري رسيدگي کرده است.

به گزارش خبرآنلاين، آمار کودک آزاري به حدي وحشتناک است که نمي توان تصور کرد. سامانه 123 اورژانس اجتماعي که تنها در تهران و چند شهر بزرگ کشور فعال است، روزانه بيش از 20 مورد کودک آزاري، را ثبت و رسيدگي مي کند. به بيان ديگر، ابعاد اين آسيب اجتماعي به اندازه اي گسترده است که نمي توان حد و مرزي براي آن قائل شد، چون آماري که توسط بهزيستي داده شده تنها براي کودک آزاريهايي است که اطلاع داده شده است، نه همه کودک آزاريها.

اين در حالي است که تحقيقات ميداني نشان مي دهد ميزان واقعي کودک آزاريها، 20 برابر تعدادي است که اعلام مي شود...

به بيان ديگر، شايد بتوان اينطور قلمداد کرد که آمار واقعي کودک آزاري در ايران، روزانه 400 مورد است. يعني سالي بيش از 146 هزار بار، کودکان ايراني، مورد هجوم والدينشان قرار مي گيرند. (خبرآنلاين , عصر ايران – 21/7/90)
