International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran: Governments Should Blacklist Human Rights Violators!

30 September 2010
The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran urged governments from around the world to blacklist officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran implicated in grave human rights violations, thus recognizing their role as perpetrators in Iran’s grave human rights crisis and making it impossible for them to travel and keep assets abroad.
The Campaign is urging the governments of Canada, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, and members of the European Union in particular, countries in which known Iranian human rights offenders are most likely to hold assets or travel, to institute asset freezes and travel bans against them.
The Campaign welcomed an announcement by the United States government on 29 September 2010, naming eight top Iranian government officials as targets of such financial freezes and travel bans.
“Members of the international community can and should blacklist those Iranian officials responsible for grave human rights violations of their citizens,” said Hadi Ghaemi, the Campaign’s spokesperson.
“To do so sends a loud, clear and constructive message that these crimes will not be tolerated, and that the international community will do all it can to combat the endemic impunity in Iran, ” he added.
In June 2010, the Campaign published “Men of Violence: Perpetrators of the Post-Election Crackdown,” a report naming fifteen Iranian government officials and supporters implicated in gross human rights violations against Iranian citizens.

The eight individuals sanctioned by the US government are: Mohammad Ali Jafari, Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC); Sadeq Mahsouli, current Minister of Welfare and Security and former Minister of the Interior; Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, current Prosecutor General of Iran and former Minister of Intelligence; Saeed Mortazavi, former Prosecutor-General of Tehran; Heydar Moslehi, Minister of Intelligence; Mostafa Mohammad Najjar, current Minister of the Interior and former Deputy Commander of the Armed Forces for Law Enforcement; Ahmad-Reza Radan, Deputy Chief of Iran’s National Police; and Hossein Taeb, current Deputy IRGC Commander for Intelligence and former Commander of the IRGC’s Basij Forces.

In addition to the above, the Campaign also urges blacklisting of the following human rights violators:
Ismail Ahmadi Moghadam, Head of the Iranian Police,

Abolghassem Salavati, Presiding Judge of Branch 15 of the Islamic Revolutionary Courts,

Seyed Hassan Firouzabadi, Chief of Staff of the Joint Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran,

Mohammad Moghisseh, Presiding Judge of Branch 28 of the Islamic Revolutionary Courts,

Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, Secretary General of the Guardian Council,

Ayatollah Mohammad Taghi Mesbah Yazdi, Head of the Khomeini Education and Research Institute in Qom and a member of the Assembly of Experts,

Yadollah Javani, Head of the IRGC Political Office,

Rouhollah Hosseinian, Member of Parliament,

Ali Saeedi, Representative of the Supreme Leader in the IRGC,

Hossein Shariatmadari, Managing editor of Kayhan Newspaper,

Ezatollah Zarghami, Head of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), and

Mohammad Reza Naghdi, Commander of Basij Forces.

Khamenei's conduct on election & his support for Ahmadinejad brought new discussion:The assembly of expert must observ,control and remove him !


After revolution, the "Assembly of Expert" or "Majles Khebregan" was set by Khomeini the founder of Islamic Republic which gives power to its member to control ,remove or appoint new leader. After the controversial last year presidential election ,Khamenei the current leader supported Ahmadinejad and called him as the winner despite of obvious cheating and protest of close to 4,000,000 people just in Tehran. His action supporting Ahmadinejad who is famous for his big lies and cheating and who has ordered his forces to shoot people in the streets and killing more than one hundereds young Iranian women and men who were chanting peacefully asking " where is my vote"brought anger among Iranian people. Mr. Karoubi the past speaker of the parliament and presidential candidate running against Ahmadinejad called the Assembly of experts to do their job on observing the leaders conduct and in recent weeks he has brought sharp criticism against Assembly of experts for not doing the job they have to do. Mr. Karoubi have emphasized that the assembly of experts "on supervising the leader " . He said : Khomeini the founder of Islamic Republic believed that ;"the most deviation from the course would be the deviation by leader itself ( leader to change course ).

This brought a newly meeting of the members of "Assembly of experts" . The head of A o E is Ayatollah Rafsanjani one of the most powerful personality and the right hand man of Khomeini the founder.

And now, Grand Ayatollah Ali Mohammad Dastqeib one of most respected and followed Ayatollah and personality in the Islamic Republic have said: "The leader is not the absolute leader /guardian and he does not have any rights over people"


This kinds of debate will continue among the society and Islamic personalities as long as Khamenei continue supporting Ahmadinejad and his lies and not returning to the path of truth and listening to people .

Despite of his controversiality and the reason behind it, IRAN WATCH CANADA defends Hossain Derakhshan's rights to a fair and just trial , what has took place seems unfair and is more a political game .Hossain Derakhshan must have all the rights to appeal against the decission made by judge Salavati sentencing him to 19.5 years in prison.

Background :
Hossain Derakhshan's blog before going to Iran was "Hoder" :

Before going to Iran Hossain derakhshan wrote an article in his blog "Hoder" and in that he attacked almost all the human rights advocates and opposition to the regime in Iran.I have translated this article from his blog Hoder ,Here it goes:

"The Hostile Government Dependents, wake up"

Written on Nov. 2,2008

Those who were formerly receiving salary from Mr. Mehdi Jami are shocked by his expelling from Radio Zamaneh and they speak in a way as if Radio Zamaneh was the will from Mr. Jami's dad and these foolish Dutch – who doesn’t understand at all the value and importance of Iran’s culture and art and Mr. Jami’s historic central role in it- And without any reason and logic they let Mr. Jami go, therefore Radio Zamaneh which was the most independent and most important media in the whole history of Iran ( At least from the view points of Mr. Jami’s friends of Mashhad) it has fallen in the hand of malicious and irreligious ignorant foreigners and the worst of all non Mashhadi's .

But it is better to set aside the tribal play and novice developing , by looking on the real situation about Radio Zamaneh:

Holland is one of the close allies of America in the European countries and is part of a few countries of the world that imposed sanction, much more than UN security council against Iran. Oil sanctions and technological and even scientific sanction on Iranian students in Dutch University’s which didn’t even happen in America.

The Government of Holland that had no media in Farsi language, came to this conclusion that for having an impact inside Iran and for its own political interest, specially among the youth and students it needs media.

The Foreign Ministry of Holland approved tens of millions Euro budget in order to create several media project in Farsi language. Except America, the only country in the world that has approved budget for Iran under this agenda , is America.

Press Now Institute, has extensive experience in creating anti Russian and anti left Radio in Eastern Europe and the former colonies of Holland in Africa .After the invasion of Afghanistan it has become active in this country , it has been asked by the Holland Foreign Ministry to create the most expensive Holland media project in Iran.

Among candidates who have given application for employment to "Press Now Institute" , Mehdi Moazen Jami was selected because of his opinion that attract youth and was fresh to Radio and website and his connection and friendship with reformist journalists inside Iran. He was put in charge of creating and managing "Radio zamaneh" under the supervision of the board of Press Now.
It is funny that “The Dependents” of Mr. Jami in a single night learnt that; Radio zamaneh with a “Foreign” manager won’t be trustworthy and independent and therefore to hold the funeral service for the past beautiful Zamaneh ( and of course with the thousands of Euro as free cash they were receiving) .

They have forgotten that; Zamaneh news has been managed by a well known group with the name of “ Republican unity” and Jami himself in the early months of his work in Radio Zamaneh, was one of the guest invited and participated to the congress of the “Republican Unity “ in Europe and sat beside "Radio Farda" at the media panel. Showing as if didn't know the position of Radio zamaneh on Iran’s atomic programs in recent years which was coinciding exhaustively with the position of the government of America and her European allies.

They have forgotten the continuous Advertising report of Zamaneh for humans rights industry groups in Iran ( Campaign for One Million Signature *1, Advare Tahkime Vahdat*2 , Shirin Ebadi’s group*3, the bandit of Mansur Osanloo *4 , and ….)

They have forgotten that it was in this beautiful, independent and compatriot media*5 which published advertisement report for the terrorist "Jondollah group"*6 and started various campaign against the judiciary system and punishment for one of its official member.

They have forgotten that, at the time of this same nationalism bourgeois legend , meaning Mr. Jami, Radio Zamaneh have given special programs and tribune to the secessionist Kurdish groups and has entered officially into the new project of America for creating dispute among racial and ethnic in Iran.

Whom are we going to deceive? Mehdi Jami with a middleman of the Holand Ministry of Foreign Affairs for creating a website, Radio and perhaps later Television was the closest ally of America in Europe for inside Iran. All the several millions budget of Radio Zamaneh has come directly from the Holland Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Radio zamaneh never had an independent policy from Holland Government, never was impartial and even for a moment the interest of Iran wasn’t important for him. The journalist friends of reformists who have kept their heads into the snow and think that; media that receives all its money from a government can be independent, is better not to deceive themselves more .

This very BBC Persian TV which is going to be started and "water has already flow from the chops of many of you" ( made many hungry ) , also receive all its expenses from the Government that, with economic sanction wants to destroy the family’s and people of your country. Don’t sell your honour and dignity and when you have learnt the work go back to Iran.

The atmosphere of media in Iran never been this much open and there are work and position in Iran for all of you. Even though a bit harder than BBC but instead you won’t be suffering by once own conscience.

1- A women rights campaign group in Iran
2- A student’s rights organization in Iran
3- Association of Human Rights Defenders in Iran and Shirin Ebadi is the president

Ahmadinejad a person of interest for International court for crime against humanity !


There is no question that Ahmadinejad is a criminal by commiting crime against his own people, killing at least 100 young man and women, wounding so many and torturing as many as 10,000 Iranian in prison just during the last uprising against election cheating and coup d.etat.


There is no question that he is a contradictory and conflicting person. He has so many faces and can't be trusted,but the irony is that he can seat straight and look at the person who interviews him and say crooked or lie about everything that is not in his benefit or divert the question and make million's of people around the world angry.


During the interview with Larry King of CNN he said : "He is against killing!? wow , really ? where he has been ? what year and age he lives in ? does he think people of the world are that stupid and uninformed?


Today upon his return from US to Iran he said: "That US was and is a bully, what about your Government during its 6 years of office Mr. Cheated "Pe-residen"t? He speaks about violation of human rights in other countries , what about violation of human rights in Iran and under your own government?


And now he is asking for a truth and fact finding committee to look into the 9/11?

The people of Iran are not interested , what they are interested are the freedom they dont enjoy , the release of thousands of political prisoners in Iran. They are interested in free election.They are interested in justice , human rights and freedom of expression and of course change in their living standard .

The destructive policy of Ahmadinejad for inside Iran is more dangerous than the outside one !

Ahmadinejad and his ministers who follow a few fundamentalist ayatollah's including Ayatollah Mohammad Taghi Mesbah Yazdi, ayatollah Mohammad Yazdi, Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami and Ayatollah Janati , believe that "Imam Mahdi -the 12th Shiite Imam" won't appear from his absence if the world is in stable and peace. Therefore, they believe , they must create choas inside and outside Iran so that "The 12th Shiite Imam" will appear. This is exactly what he pray before his speeches or before answering any questions of reporters.He believes that "Imam Mahdi " is with him everywhere he goes.

As the head of government for almost six years, Iran's internal situation is worsen. The minorities living in provinces like Zahedan & Baluchestan, The minority Arab population in Ahwaz ,Abadan Bushehr and Khozestan , The Kurdish people of Kurdistan, The Turk in Azarbayejan , The armanian , The Bahai's , The sufi's , The jewish and now the sunnis are all under his reppressive government. Day after day the unity among Iranian which remained strong for centuries are now weakened in a way that it reached to its weakest and breaking point.
I can see the sign from now, looking at Baluchestan for example, continouse bombing ,killing of baluchi people, will create hateret among Sunni Baluchi's against Shiite,will motivate their feeling for revenge. The same situation is in Kurdistan , bombing and execution of Kurdish people and depriving them of same treatment as in other farsi language spoken part. These goe's for others too. Iran is at the verge of collaps, socially, culturally, economically and geaographically.
Secession of Iran is a serious matter we the Iranian must not allow to happen .
Ahmadinejad and his Ministers together with those ayatollah's must be stoped before it is too late.

Ahmadinejad does not represent Persia or Iran and Iranian people , he is representing the Islamic regime in Iran!

Ahmadinejad does not represent persia or Iranian people as the media tried to portray him, but it is the Iranian people who pay the price for what he says and what he does in the international meetings. He did not bring anything but shame to Iranian people.This year when he delivered his speech, more delegate from other countries left the meeting in UN general assembly in a way that half of the seat were empty.This is because his stupid speeches about denying holocaust, destruction of Israel and talking nonsense in the past and now yet another controversial comment made by him, saying ; US made up the 9/11 and is behind the killing of its people. I don't know what he is trying to achieve from this kind of speeches and diplomacy.
These last few days ,Iranian people everywhere were glued to their TV's and wondering what Ahmadinejad will do or say to cause new trouble.
And there, he blamed US for killing his own people in 9/11.

Take a Stand Against Ahmadinejad_UN_2010


The Petition
Dear Member of the United Nations; In the name of humanity, and in keeping with your obligations to the UN Charter of Human Rights, We the undersigned ask that you take a stand against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the head of a regime that has consistently repressed the Iranian people, that is in flagrant violation of UN resolutions, that has supported international terrorism and endangered world peace. We the undersigned request that you refuse to honor Ahmadinejad’s presence at the UN by boycotting his speech to the General Assembly. This act will reaffirm your rejection of violence and repression against millions of Iranian people. It will also be a message to the Iranian people that they are not alone in their quest for freedom and justice. It will show the world that members of the United Nations are truly committed to the humanitarian principles underlying the creation of this respectable body – that incarceration without cause, torture and murder of innocent people, and atrocities of any kind will not be tolerated by the international community. As legitimate representative of your people, we urge you to walk out of the General Assembly when Ahmadinejad mounts the podium to address the delegates. Thank you.

IRAN: Jailed activist, in a letter smuggled out of prison, says he's being tortured


Torture, forced confessions, and a kangaroo court. That's what jailed Iranian student activist Abdollah Momeni claims he experienced since his detainment and jailing last year in an extraordinary letter he wrote to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei from his jail cell in Tehran's notorious Evin prison.
"Beatings, verbal abuse and degradation, and illegal treatments started at the very moment of my arrest, Momeni wrote in the letter published on the website of International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, or ICHRI.
"From the start of the interrogations, I was forced to write against my friends and those close to me. I appeared in court despite the fact that I was not allowed to have a lawyer of my own choosing representing me....my testimony was dictated to me by my interrogators beforehand," he continued.
Aaron Rhodes, ICHRI's policy advisor based in Hamburg, Germany could not provide Babylon & Beyond with details on how the group received Momeni's letter. But he insisted its contents were "authentic."
Momeni says he felt compelled to pen the letter after he learned about the supreme leader's remarks in a recent sermon in which he spoke of the "importance of opposing injustice and the need to observe fairness."
That same day, said the jailed activist, "I decided to write a letter addressed to you, thinking that perhaps the news about detention centers does not reach you."
His letter comes fresh on the heels of another similar note written by a political prisoner to Iran's chief prosecutor. In his letter, Hamzeh Karami, editor of a reformist news website, before his detainment following last year's disputed June 2009 election, claimed he suffered physical and mental abuse in detainment and that he was tortured into making a confession that he had sexual relations with relatives of Iranian opposition leaders.
Reports about allegations of continued mistreatment of detainees arrested in last year's post-election protests have steadily surfaced in the media and among human rights groups. In late August, Iran's prosecutor-general, Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, suspended three high-ranking judiciary officials over mistreatment of detainees at Iran's Kahrizak detention center, according to Iranian media reports. Several other prison officials were also accused of involvement in the deaths of at least three detainees in the facility, the reports added.
Momeni's letter alleges repeated abuse he has been subject to since his July 2009 jailing, including having his head stuck down a toilet bowl, constantly being threatened with execution and being beaten until losing consciousness. His crime? Demanding democracy and reform for Iran, he wrote.
"The iron fist of interrogators would often result in my passing out," he alleged. "On several occasions the interrogator strangled me to the point of me losing consciousness and falling to the ground. For days following these strangulations, I suffered such severe pain in the neck and throat area, that eating and drinking became unbearable."
Hadi Ghaemi, the campaign's spokesman in New York, called on the Iranian authorities in a statement to probe allegations of torture and abuse by detainees and now allow for impunity.
"If Ayatollah Khamenei does not respond by launching a credible and independent investigation aimed at holding violators accountable, then there is ample evidence that these systematic and inhumane methods for extracting false confessions are sanctioned by him," Ghaemi said.

Akbar Ganji was chosen as the " Hero of The World Press Freedom" and on September 13 he received the award in a ceremony in the City Hall in Viena !




Excerpt from Akbar Ganji's speech:
I would like to thank IPI for electing me as one of the recipients of World Press Freedom Hero Award. But I would also like to announce that this award belongs to all those who are now suffering under inhuman conditions in the prisons of the Islamic republic of Iran. Their only sin is their peaceful political thoughts and actions. We are dealing with a regime that does not recognize freedom of thoughts, freedom of expression, or freedom of peaceful gathering and denies its own citizens their constitutional rights. Those journalists who publish the truth in this regime will end up seeing their papers shut down, losing their jobs, and ending up spending long terms in prison. At the moment there are 26 journalists and 8 bloggers in prison in Iran--among them Ahmad Zeydabadi, Isa Saharkhiz, Ma'ud Bastani, Hengameh Shahidi, Bahman Amu'i, Kivan Samimi, Adnan Hasanpour, Hoda Saberi, Abdolreza Tajik, Sa'id Matinpour (journalists), and Mojtaba Lotfi and Ali Behzadnia (bloggers).This award is a sign of moral support for all imprisoned journalists and for that reason is of particular significance for me. Once again, thank you! The illegitimate regime that rules over Iran has spared and does no spare none of the social strata or social components from its systematic repression. A tyrannical and absolutist Sultan intervenes in all aspects of government and directly issues the orders to oppress the people. The people in position of responsibility in this regime will have to be tried and condemned in the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. The democratic movement in Iran is directed towards a democratic system, that is pluralist, secular, and committed to human rights and that under no circumstances allows the pushing the rights of racialized, religious, and sexual minorities into the dark dungeons of prejudice and inequality. The freedom of women is one of the principal components of this democratic movement. Women are today at the heart of this civil rights movement in Iran.

Green Light
Faezeh Hashemi Rafsanjani, daughter of Iran's powerful Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and a prominent advocate of the Green Movement, speaks to Foreign Policy about the future of Iran's opposition and her (low) opinion of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.


Faezeh Hashemi Rafsanjani, 48, was one of Iran's leading members of parliament from 1992 to 1996 and the founder and editor of Zan, Iran's first-ever daily women's newspaper. She is also the daughter of Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, one of the country's most influential men and strongest opponents of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. During the widespread protests that followed Iran's contested presidential election last year, Hashemi was a vocal supporter of the Green Movement and was briefly imprisoned by the Iranian government for her activism. She spoke to Omid Memarian about how Iran has changed since that election and the future of the Green Movement.
Foreign Policy: During the post-election protests last year, you were imprisoned for 24 hours and then released. Many believe that, if you were not the daughter of Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani, you would still be in prison right now. How has it felt over the past year to see so many of your former colleagues remain in prison?

Faezeh Hashemi Rafsanjani: I, too, believe that I would not have been released had I not been Mr. Hashemi's daughter. It feels terrible to see individuals who have worked hard for this country for years put in prison without due legal process only for their attempts to stand up to injustice and for telling the truth. Likewise, [it feels terrible] to see those who are real criminals as rulers.
Presently, everything is upside down, wrong is right, the unjust pretend to be unjustly treated, those who aim to destroy the country and the religion call themselves servants of the nation. Imbeciles are at the top, and managers and the distinguished are in prison, or have been dismissed, or have had to flee the country. All of this would be painful for any Iranian who has a modicum of pride.
FP: Recently, Ahmadinejad has expressed interest in meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama. Considering his upcoming trip to the United States this month for the inaugural session of the U.N. General Assembly, do you think such a meeting might take place? And if so, how might this affect Iran's domestic politics?
FHR: Ahmadinejad should handle his own problems first. Even if his own fabricated statistics are reviewed, everyone can see that over the 30 years [since] the Iranian revolution, even during the Iran-Iraq War, Iran has never had such a sorry state of affairs. He destroys whatever he touches.
Whether the meeting takes place or not, I don't think anyone is waiting for any positive change in Iran's internal or foreign politics or putting too much hope on it.
FP: How do you think Iranian society has changed since the June 2009 presidential election?
FHR: The exuberance, hope, and excitement of the [post-election period] has given its place to depression and hopelessness. People see themselves face to face with lies, mismanagement, demagoguery, bullying, thuggery, injustice, destruction of national resources and wealth, loss of international opportunities, and further destruction of the country at the hands of the ruling group.
FP: How would you define the Green Movement? What are its boundaries and what should be our expectations of it?
FHR: I think every Iranian who is in search of his or her rights, freedom, democracy, and the country's development belongs to this movement.

No regime can overcome on the will of Iranian people for change and freedom!


Change , reformism, democracy and freedom is in the blood of Iranian people. No one can claim success over the will of Iranian people for freedom in Iran. The regime like Ahmadinejad's government can use all kind of suppression , use all kinds of tactics to divert the real issues of the Iranian people which is the creation of civil society with individual rights , free election ,right to elect their representative to the parliament, independent judiciary system ( free from politics and political influence), freedom of all faith and belief , freedom of expression , creation of as many NGO's and their activities and so on .Ahmadinejad's government can spend as much of the oil revenue to create projects and human resources to tackle with the will of the Iranian people and bankrupt the country from its sources but it can't go nowhere. Iranian people are determined and are moving ahead creating their social network all over the country. What the regime can do ? To stop this trend? to suppress more ? wtch and control every home ? They can stop people from talking about these issues? They can put more people into the jails ? The jails are already full ! Now , what else they can do , they have already killed more than 100 innocent Iranian just during the last year , people who were just calling for changes and freedom. The regime thinks that they are in control of the situation ? We will see .....


The picture above shows the reformists from the city of Rasht come together on an "Eftar" (a ramedan dinner ).

Women’s Rights Campaigners Convicted, Lawyers Under Increased Persecution


(1 September 2010) Authorities in the Islamic Republic of Iran are continuing to arrest and jail civil society activists while persecuting and prosecuting independent lawyers, the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran reported today.
“With a majority of Iranian human rights activists and lawyers already imprisoned or forced into exile, their remaining colleagues are systematically being taken down by the government of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,” Aaron Rhodes, a Campaign spokesperson said.
Shirin Ebadi, the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, told the Campaign, “The Judiciary’s lack of independence is resulting in persecution of lawyers. If we look at the Judiciary’s approach during the past year, we see that lawyers defending political prisoners have all been targeted,” said Ebadi.
Ebadi noted that prominent lawyers Mohammad Ali Dadkhah and Abdolfattah Soltani have both been imprisoned during the past year and released on large bails, Mohammad Seifzadeh is awaiting his trial, Mohammad Oliaeifar is serving a one year prison sentence, and Shadi Sadr and Mohammad Mostafaie have been forced into exile.
Two members of the One Million Signatures Campaign advocating for gender equality, Fatemeh Masjedi and Maryam Bidgoli, have been sentenced to one year in prison. On 22 August, security forces arbitrarily detained human rights activists Hassan Asadi Zeidabadi and Ali Jamali. Prominent human rights lawyer, Nasrin Sotoudeh, has been summoned and her assets frozen.
In an interview with the Campaign, Sotoudeh said that a new method of persecuting human rights lawyers by the authorities is to make unfounded financial allegations on tax grounds.
“I was referred to the taxation bureau and while there I noticed in addition to my name, they are conducting special investigations into thirty human rights lawyers,” Sotoudeh told the Campaign. She noted that while human rights lawyers take on cases on pro-bono bases, authorities are using bogus tax charges to prosecute them.
Sotoudeh said she believes these developments are aimed at putting an end to any legal defense by the human rights community. “The only institution capable of defending lawyers is the Bar Association, but the authorities are putting it under tremendous pressure and attempting to incorporate it into the Judiciary and take away its independence,” she said.
With the arrests of Ali Jamali and Hassan Asadi Zeidabadi, almost all members of the Central Council of ADVAR, a student alumni organization devoted to human rights and social enhancement, have been arbitrarily imprisoned. ADVAR is a group of young Iranian citizens committed to improving the welfare of the people of Iran, and committed to peaceful methods and nonviolence to promote and protect Iranian citizens’ human rights. The Campaign is aware of no evidence that justifies prosecuting members of this group, and indeed, no such evidence has been presented in trials in which its members have been convicted and sentenced. The arrests and prosecution of ADVAR members have thus been politically motivated and at variance with Iranian and international law.
The Change for Equality website reported that two women’s rights activists and members of the One Million Signatures Campaign, Maryam Bidgoli and Fatemeh Masjedi, were sentenced to prison terms of one year following their conviction on charges of “spreading propaganda against the state, through the collection of signatures for changing discriminatory laws and publication of materials in support of a feminist group (Campaign) which works in opposition to the Regime.” Both women denied the charges in their trial in the Second Branch of the Revolutionary Courts in Qom, explaining that the activities of the One Million Signatures Campaign are not in violation of any Iranian laws. Mina Jafari and Mahnaz Parakand, lawyers representing the women’s human rights defenders, plan to appeal the verdict.
The Campaign expressed its serious concern over the abuse of judicial powers by Iranian authorities to target members of the human rights community and civil society activists.

Abu Rdeina: Who Forged Elections, Doesn't Represent Our Irani Friends

PA hits back at Ahmadinejad: You have no right to speak about Palestine
Palestinian Authority spokesman lashes out at the Iranian president who criticized Palestinian negotiations with Israel and PA President Mahmoud Abbas.
By Haaretz Service

A Palestinian Authority spokesman lashed out at the president of Iran for criticizing Palestinian negotiations with Israel and PA President Mahmoud Abbas in particular, Ma'an News Agency reported on Sunday.
"The one who does not represent the Iranian people, who falsified election results, who oppressed the Iranian people and stole authority has no right to speak about Palestine, its president or its representatives," Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rudaineh said about Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Ahmadinejad addressed a rally last week at Teheran University, where he dismissed the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, saying the fate of Palestine would be decided in Palestine and through resistance and not in Washington.
The Ma'an News Agency reported that he also said Mahmoud Abbas was a hostage of Israel who lacked the legitimacy to negotiate on the Palestinian's behalf.
"President Mahmoud Abbas came to power through free, democratic and authentic elections supervised by more than 2,000 international and Arab monitors," Abu Rudaineh said in response. "We are the ones who fought for Palestine and Jerusalem ... the Palestinian leadership did not oppress its people as did the Iranian leadership under Ahmadinejad."
Last week, Egypt canceled a visit by Iran's foreign minister to protest comments he made accusing Arab leaders of betrayal for attending the new round of Mideast peace talks in Washington.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki had been scheduled to visit Cairo for a meeting of Nonaligned Movement members.
"Some leaders ... who follow America's orders must understand that they are betraying their nations," Iran's Fars news agency quoted Mottaki as saying.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Jordanian King Abdullah II attended the talks.

(CNN) -- The administration of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas lashed out at Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday, a day after Ahmadinejad criticized Abbas for renewing direct peace talks with Israel.
"He who does not represent the Iranian people, who forged elections and who suppresses the Iranian people and stole the authority, is not entitled to talk about Palestine, or the President of Palestine," said Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for the Palestinian Authority, according to Wafa, the Palestinian Authority's news agency.
Ahmadinejad, speaking to thousands of people at Tehran University on Friday, said the Mideast peace talks would fail. He spoke on Quds Day, an annual holiday in Iran that marks the country's solidarity with Palestinians and calls for the end of Israeli occupation.
Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met for direct talks in Washington this week, pledging to move the peace process forward. After two days of meetings, they deadlocked over the contentious issue of Israeli settlements.
"The fate of Palestine will be determined on the ground in Palestine," Ahmadinejad said Friday. "Not in Washington, not in Paris, and not in London."
"These talks are death," he said. "There is no reason to hold talks."
Rudeineh, the Palestinian Authority spokesperson, defended the Abbas administration's legitimacy among Palestinians.
"We have fought for Palestine and Jerusalem and the Palestinian leadership has provided thousands of martyrs and tens of thousands wounded and prisoners (and) did not repress their people, as did the system of Iran led by Ahmadinejad," he said, according to Wafa.

Palestinians to Iran: Mind your own business

PA spokesman retorts that Iran "represses their people," after Iranian FM says those negotiating with Israel are "betraying their nations." Talkbacks (14)
The Palestinian Authority has taken a stand against Iran, after the Islamic Republic criticized the PA for relaunching direct talks with Israel, according to official PA news agency Wafa.Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, reportedly said that Ahmadinejad "does not represent the Iranian people, forged elections, suppresses the Iranian people and stole the authority. [He] is not entitled to talk about Palestine, or the president of Palestine."

"President Abu Mazen [Abbas] is the elected president of free and fair elections in which more than two thousand international observers [participated]," Abu Rudeineh said. "We have fought for Palestine and Jerusalem, and the Palestinian leadership has provided thousands of martyrs and tens of thousands wounded and prisoners.""We did not repress our people, as did Iran led by Ahmadinejad," Abu Rudeineh added."We are defending our national rights and our national interest, and the President and the Palestinian leadership and the PLO are the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, who knows how to defend their rights and will not allow anyone to undermine the national president or the legitimacy of the Palestine Liberation Organization," he said.
The criticism came from Libya, where Abbas is meeting with Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi.Earlier this week, Egypt canceled a visit by Iran's foreign minister to protest comments in which he accused Arab leaders of betrayal for attending the new round of Mideast peace talks in Washington.Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki had been scheduled to visit Cairo Monday for a meeting of Nonaligned Movement members.Mottaki said Arab leaders who attended the relaunch of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks in Washington this week were "betraying their nations."
"Some leaders ... who follow America's orders must understand that they are betraying their nations," Iran's Fars news agency quoted him as saying on Tuesday.AP contributed to this report.


RAMALLAH, September 4, 2010 (WAFA)- In response to the attacks made by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the Palestinian leadership after the Washington meetings, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for the Presidency, said 'he who does not represent the Iranian people, who forged elections and who suppresses the Iranian people and stole the authority, is not entitled to talk about Palestine, or the President of Palestine.”
The 'President Abu Mazen is the elected president of free and fair elections in which more than two thousand international observers. We have fought for Palestine and Jerusalem and the Palestinian leadership has provided thousands of martyrs and tens of thousands wounded and prisoners did not repress their people, as did the system of Iran led by Ahmadinejad.”
He said, 'We are defending our national rights and our national interest, and the President' Abu Mazen 'and the Palestinian leadership and the PLO is the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, who knows how to defend their rights and will not allow anyone to undermine the national president or the legitimacy of the Palestine Liberation Organization or the political and national line, on which it is.
