Request of a journalist from the city of "Tabriz" from internal and external organizations defending journalists rights


The letter was written to : Association of Syndicate Journalists in Iran, Association Defending Press Freedom, RSF , International Federation of Journalists ( IFJ )

I, " Peyman Pak-Mehr " Journalist , member of the Association of Syndicate Journalists in Iran and IFJ and the manager of the news website " Tabriz News " requesting from those organizations to try that the enemies of open socities , the opponent of freedom of information and those who control and disconect my telephone interviews to stop their inhuman and unlawful acts.

Although , We the journalists have co-habited with the work in the " jornalistic mine field " of Iran but never did accept to adjust ourselves to the inhuman unlawful acts.

Despites of " filtering/ blocking " Tabriz News website , its been years that whenever Iranian news were hot topic , my home and cell phone conversation with international Radios like Radio France , Farda , B.B.C. , Azadegan and .... for many time while talking have been cut off and sometimes were impossible for reporters to contact me.

Since "Tabriz News " website was reporting news without censorship about the rights of Evins political prisoners , Students protests and opposition inside Iran at this time of 9th presidential election the site was filtered........

If these threat , botherings and persecution , will continue , I will legaly bring my complaint from the officials and those people behind these actions to the attention of international human rights organizations.

With respect
