Naser Zarafshan, The voice of justice in prison !
Honourable members of the United Nations commission on Human Rights!
It is close to Three years since I am in prison because of my legal duties as a lawyer for the families of the murdered victims, which in due course of events the agents and official institutions of the Islamic Republic of Iran , by planning one of the high class state policy , assassinated and murdered its opponents. The secrets about this murderings came out in due time of intensive power struggle among themselves and public pressure, which brought a split in the system's information agencies , and therefore the public was informed, but as soon as the state came out of it's first shock and was able relatively to overcome on differences among internal groups and became capable to garb the situation, the regime banned any continues discussion and follow up of this events.then by tainting the subject, with a scenario like a few normal street murder the file which was opened in this regard came to its closure.
In this situation , since I was the lawyer of the victims families of this event, I pushed for the disclosure of truth of the event and legal investigation of the subject, at first I was arrested on the pretext of " propaganda against the state" , and then while with all the pressure on me and negotiation they did not achiev any result, and in a situation that I was in prison , they put gun and amunition in my office and planned a new accusation , they made a file and based on that they sentenced me to five years imprisonment and 50 lashes( the summary of the events and main problems to this file has been explained and is attached ).
Now ,That the file of the political murdering which is known as " Chain murdering " and the file against myself which is a clear violation of human rights in Iran, by bringing this issue ; I would like to ask from the commission if obstacles based on political interest affair will let , these both files resume its serious investigation and be reviewed.
It needs to mention that the violation of human rights in Iran in the last two and a half decades is much horrible than the problems such as " Arbiterary arrest " or " violation of free expression " which resulted to the dispatch of the especial reporter to Iran,which is more like a joke. But reporters for the subject matters and the dispached delegates of the commission or other human rights defending organizations in much of their travel to Iran, are confronted to elements of differrent factions of the state who are playing the role of critics or some of the intimidated and captivated journalists and lawyers or groups who have been prepared by the regime itself and their testimonies in any way is not showing the reality of the current human rights situation in Iran.and in addition because of the time limitation and feasibility of the situation by these subject reporters, the real situation of Iran has been always hiden to the commission.Therefore assigning a permanent special repoter for Iran is an urgent necessity .Together with other prisoners some of whom are more than a decades in this prison are waiting for the action by the commission on this regards.
