Seminarium om inhumana förhållanden i Iran

Makthavarna i Iran trotsar många internationella regler och fortsätter den systematiska kränkningen av mänskliga rättigheter. Bland dessa finner vi de flesta mänskliga rättigheter som är fastställda i FN: s olika deklarationer och inte minst i andra internationella sammanhang.

Som ni vet är tortyr, stening och avrättningar på offentliga platser, några av vardagliga inrikespolitiska fenomen som förekommer i Iran. Detta har trappats upp efter valet i juni 2009. Hundratals har blivit mördade under fredliga protester efter valet, antingen på gator och torg eller under tortyr i fängelser. Många anhöriga är fortfarande ovetande om vad som har hänt med deras nära och kära eller var de ens befinner sig.

Interrogation, jail and threatening in the department of science ministry in response to seeking the human right of education

Committee of Human Rights Reporters - Deprivation of education is one of the discriminations which have been applied to numerous levels of the society in the past three decades despite the explicit universal declaration of human rights and international civil and political rights covenant. Navid KHanjani one of the deprived university students, has been participating in the university entrance exam from 1384 to 1387 and every year has been rejected due to a non reasonable excuse and never been given the result of exams. Hesam Misaghi, student of Isfahan Sanai University in English language translation, when he was a freshman and just studied for two terms, was fired in Tir-1386. These two students, who like other Baha’i believers have been deprived of education, pleaded their human right of education through official organizations like committee of cultural reform, science ministry, evaluation organization and etc. These two students after many times of pleading to numerous organizations ultimately in Azar-1387 have been arrested, interrogated and threatened in the department of science ministry.

Deadly Fatwa: Iran's 1988 Prison Massacre

This report documents and analyzes the Iranian government’s massacre of political prisoners in 1988. Pursuant to a fatwa issued by then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini, the government systematically interrogated, tortured and summarily executed thousands of political prisoners. Many families were never informed about the executions and many of the victims were buried in unmarked mass graves. The Iranian government has never identified those who were secretly executed and tortured, and has never issued an explanation for this crime.

Makthavarna i Iran har trappat upp våldet mot sitt folk. Massarresteringar av studenter, journalister, tjänstemän, jurister, advokater, Human Rights aktivister och människor som demonstrerar fredligt mot valresultatet den 12 juni 2009 fortsätter. Blodet flyter på gatorna, ropen ekar från hustaken samtidigt som mänskliga rättigheter kränks i allra högsta grad. Detta är medborgarnas vardag i Iran just nu. Hämnden mot människor som modigt och öppet vågar stå upp för sina rättigheter och protestera rasar blint och hänsynslöst.

Herr Ban Ki-Moon FNs generalsekreterare

Vi vädjar till er att använda alla möjliga medel, makt och befogenheter för att sända en delegation till Iran som kan utreda och stoppa alla incidenter och brott som begås i medborgarnas dagliga liv från makthavarnas sida.

Iran: Violent Crackdown on Protesters Widens

Security Forces Kill Indiscriminately, Prepare False Charges; Notoriously Abusive Prosecutor in Charge of Investigation

A notoriously abusive Iranian prosecutor, Saeed Mortazavi, has been put in charge of the investigation of detained reformist leaders and party officials amidst a widening security crackdown in Iran following the disputed June 12 election, Human Rights Watch said today. The role of Mortazavi, who has been implicated in past cases of torture, illegal detention, and coercion of false confessions, came to light as Iran's powerful security forces sought to quell post-election protests that have now continued for over a week.

Khamenei’s speech gives legitimacy to police brutality

This morning’s speech by Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, indicates the authorities’ readiness to launch violent crackdowns if people continue to protest which may cause a widespread loss of life, Amnesty International said today. “We are extremely disturbed at statements made by Ayatollah Khamenei which seem to give the green light to security forces to violently handle protesters exercising their right to demonstrate and express their views,” said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Deputy Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme.  “If large numbers of people take to the street in protests in the next couple of days, we fear that they will face arbitrary arrest and excessive use of force, as has happened in recent days, particularly as permission for a demonstration to be held in Tehran on Saturday 20 June has been denied.”

Monthly report of association of the Defense of Azerbaijani Political prisoner in Iran (ADAPP) Marsh 2009

 As in previous months, March also saw Azerbaijani cultural activists under increasing pressure from Iranian security forces. Even though Article 27 of the Iranian Constitution states that any demonstration except those against Islam is allowed, the Azerbaijani activists charged with participating in peaceful demonstrations are sentenced to heavy jail terms. They are subjected to arbitrary detentions and are held in prisons without trial, without access to legal representation or to their families. During detention, security forces often coerce the detainees to confess to crimes they have not committed by means of torture or other abuse in order to ensure that heavy sentences will be imposed upon them.
