Background (Preamble):
[نسخه فارسی پایین صفحه][Version française plus loin]

Excellency Ban Ki-Moon,

Following the presidential elections of June 2009 and ensuing peaceful protests from Iranians challenging the results, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is engaged in the systematic suppression of all forms of dissent. From street beatings to torture, rape, disappearance, to formal executions - the Iranian regime has violated even its own laws. In two cases the appeal court has converted the sentences from imprisonment to Execution by hanging.Iran is party to a number of United Nations Treaties, all of which acknowledge the right to life of every human being. We believe that Iran should be pressured to uphold the international human rights standards to which it has acceded.A list of prisoners follows. This list might change day by day as some of may be hanged (often w.ith no notice being given to their families) and some new names might be added. We try to update the list here.

Kurdish prisoners:
Zeinab Jalalian
Shirkou Moarefi
Habib Latifi
Sami Hosseini

Eutelsat: Explain Efforts to Counter Censorship by Iran

***Media Advisory***
Eutelsat: Explain Efforts to Counter Censorship by Iran

(New York, June 25, 2010) – The French satellite operator, Eutelsat, should share any policies and procedures it has in place explicitly to safeguard freedom of expression when dealing with governments that systematically engage in censorship, Human Rights Watch said today. It should also explain its decision to suspend certain Persian-language programming from its most popular satellite after Iranian authorities began jamming its signals earlier this year.In a letter sent to Eutelsat on June 25, 2010, Human Rights Watch repeated its requests for more information regarding the company’s efforts to counter Iran’s jamming of satellite signals carrying Persian-language broadcasts from BBC Persian TV and Voice of America. Human Rights Watch sent an initial letter to Eutelsat on February 8 asking the company to explain its decision to suspend the programs from its popular Hotbird 6 satellite. A follow-up letter with additional questions, including a request for information regarding Eutelsat policies and procedures in place to protect freedom of information, was sent to Eutelsat on March 17.
Human Rights Watch has yet to receive a response to the second letter.“With Tehran systematically trying to silence Iranian civil society and to cut off Iranians’ access to information, telecommunications companies doing business with Tehran are on the front line of the struggle to protect freedom of information," said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "These companies should have adequate policies and procedures to make sure the information keeps flowing."For more Human Rights Watch reporting on Iran, please visit: http://www.hrw.org/en/middle-eastn-africa/iran

Latest on Hossain Derakhshan, the Iranian -Canadian blogger!

This is the news that have come out today:
According to Jahan News- political reports , today (wednesday June 23/2010) Hossain Derakhshan together with his family and his lawyer "Mahdavi" attended to the branch number 15 court and the representative of prosecutor arrainged the charges to the judge Salavati. The charges are:
Propaganda against the Islamic system,Cooperation with hostile countries, propaganda in the interest of counter revolutionaries, blasphemy and creation and management of obscene and trite websites.
The rest of the charges will be dealt in the next court date.

IRAN WATCH CANADA:
Few points-
1-Apparently Hossain Derakhshan is not in prison and he attended with his family member to the court.
2-The name of the lawyer was written in a quote - "Mahdavi" - and this is a family name , what about his first name? Why they don't want public to know more about this lawyer " Mahdavi".
3- Why the prosecutor didn't read the whole charges when arraigning the accused and adjurning the rest of the charges to the next court date?
So many other questions!?

The rgime of Ahmadinejad and Khamenei vainly trying to destroy the image of Iran and Iranian people.They knowingly underestimate the Iranian people.Despite of five years repression by Ahmadinejad government the idea of reformism, civil rights / civil society , human rights and the slogan of "Iran for all Iranian" are still alive in the minds of Iranian people.

UN backs Iran rebuke

By Middle East correspondent Anne Barker
Posted 5 hours 42 minutes ago

The United Nations Human Rights Council has endorsed a statement condemning Iran's violent crackdown on opposition protesters after last year's presidential election.
A total of 56 nations signed on to the declaration - initiated by the US - calling on Iran to investigate the brutal crackdown on street protests a year ago this week.
The nations have rebuked Iran for the many arrests and executions of opposition supporters who would have challenged the result.
The statement sparked controversy at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, when Iran's ambassador tried to stop Norway from reading it out.
The statement highlighted the suppression of dissidents, restrictions on freedom of expression and voiced concern at the lack of progress in protecting human rights in Iran.

Green movement ,The fire under the ashes !

I think Musavi and karoubi made a wise decision at this situation. Regime had prepared itself, especially for the last few months to suppress the protest in a bloody manner. The regime has mobilized its forces and resources and god knows how much oil money they have spent for organizing itself for the June 12. Infact Musavi and Karoubi by calling off the rally , used a wise political tactic and this would become the start of a new political game between the green movement and the regime of coup d'etat, which intend to exhaust the regime. News coming from Iran shows that the regime mobilized huge number of its forces from all over Iran to an industrial complex (.....) ready to move on . These forces have been on alert. This itself takes alot of energy from this forces and eventually exhaust them. From now on they must stay on alert every day and night. As i indicated in my old posts , no one knows when the volcano will erupt and will bury the regime ,as what had happened on the 15th of June last year , in the night of June 14th, no one knew that four million people will pour to the street and protest the next morning. What we have seen during the last year was just the smoke.
Now, no leader wants to send its forces to an unfair battle. Of course Musavi and Karoubi wants to achieve political power for themselves ,this is what politic is, but on what expenses!? Although they repeatedly said they are not the leader of green movement.
The regime of Ahmadinejad armed to the teeth knows to play only one political game and that is what it has displayed so far to the Iranian and the world, the politics of oppression inside and destruction of our countrys' images outside. In my opinion just in the last week Ahmadinejad's government and politics faced two defeat in two front : inside a surprise by the decision of Karoubi and Musavi and outside of Iran the new sanction. But what Musavi and Karoubi is playing is a new politics in Iran , and Ahmadinejad and his cabinet are unfamiliar with this politics. The politics of building a civil society . This politics eventually will surrender the regime. For now and on the Green movement is ; the fire under the ashes and the regime's fear will continue.

Iran's foreign minister heckled in Dublin; 3 held

Jun 9, 10:47 PM EDT
DUBLIN (AP) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki narrowly avoided being pelted with eggs during a Dublin appearance overshadowed by angry clashes with several Iranian dissidents.
Mottaki's security guards roughed up two protesters who interrupted his appearance Wednesday at Dublin's Institute of International and European Affairs. Both men - who shouted that Mottaki represented terrorism and dictatorship - were kicked and pushed downstairs but not seriously injured.
Outside, several protesters hurled eggs and kicked at Mottaki's car as he departed. Guards shielded Mottaki with an umbrella. Irish police arrested three protesters.
Mottaki denounced Wednesday's U.N. Security Council vote to impose new sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program.

The Schizophernic government of Ahmadinejad in Iran !

Iranian people are doing everything they can and in their power by puting their lives on the line to get rid of this schizophernic government. Of course the people in the green movement and their respective candidates like Musavi and Karubi want this process be a peaceful and no one knows if this didn't work what the people will do in the next stage. But surely One full year struggle and protest by millions of people women and men is the fact in front of the Iranian people and the whole world to think that the Iranian people are determind to get rid of this schizophernic Regime and its entire system of management and thoughts in a country as big and as old as Iran.
News coming from Iran are sadening or sickening ; for example to hear or see people are getting depressed day by day because of the five years presidency and policies of Ahmadinejad and his cabinet.
People can't believe and therefore trust this regime with its every day big lies.

One such lies goes about the records of this governments cabinet ministers. So far, several minister were found lying about their educational degrees.Recently another minister was found lying on his educational degree which he didn't even have and the irony is that he was member of a committee in university. (Mr. Kordan ,Mr. Rahimi and ....)

Reports from Reporters Without Borders (RSF):

Figures
At least 170 journalists and bloggers, including 32 women, have been arrested in the past year.
- 22 of them have sentenced to jail terms totalling 135 years.
85 journalists are awaiting trial or sentencing.
The amounts of bail that have been paid to obtain release total about 100 million euros (5.23 billion toman).
More than 100 journalists have been forced to flee the country.
23 newspapers have been shut down and thousands of web pages have been blocked.
With 37 journalists and bloggers currently held, Iran is one of the world’s four biggest prisons for the media, alongside Cuba, Eritrea and North Korea.

Undermining communications
Another of the regime’s responses to the protests against its historic election theft was to weaken the communication networks. The authorities cut the SMS network and slowed down the Internet two days before the presidential election. They systematically cut the mobile phone networks in the centre of the main cities whenever protests were held in June and July. The speed of Internet connections was also reined in.
The effectiveness of this procedure should not be overstated. It failed to prevent the marches and protests. During demonstrations, information about the date, hour and place of the next one was passed from person to person, as it was during the 1979 revolution.
Street newspapers and leaflets survived and continued to play a mobilising role during the summer and part of the autumn of 2009. The Internet and especially the social-networking website Twitter, of which so much was said during the summer of 2009 about its use as an opposition communication tool, played a key role internationally. But only 2 per cent of Iranians were able to use Twitter.

Iranian foreign minister visit sparks EU Parliament outcry - Summary




Brussels - A visit by Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki sparked an outcry Tuesday in the European Parliament in Brussels, with one lawmaker calling him "a murderer."
British conservative Struan Stevenson launched his verbal attack before Mottaki entered the foreign affairs committee for a closed-door hearing. He was holding a picture of Neda Agha Soltan, a student killed last year during demonstrations against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election.
A dozen centre-right deputies from Italy, Spain and Estonia took part in the protest, but all were unceremoniously pushed away by security to make space for Mottaki.
A brief tussle between EU lawmakers and the European Parliament's guards ensued, but no injuries were reported.

Grand Ayatollah Sanei:People should not be affraid,It won't be more than a few days and the oppressor will be punished !


In speaking on the anniversary of the death of Khomeini (in June 1989) and the "15 khordad " uprising which was led by Khomeini and his follower against the Shah of Iran (15 years befor the revolution in Iran on June 1963 ), the grand Ayatollah sanei the member of guardian council about the present situation said:

People should not be affraid,It won't be more than a few days and the oppressor will be punished ! Ayatollah Sanei like Ayatollah Montazeri have supported the reform government of Khatami from the begining .
According to the website of "Jamaran" , Ayatollah sanei told to the audience that:
"Misleadings, accusations, defamations and injustices will come to end and one day those who have done these actions against you people will regret and in this life before the afterlife , they will come before you , they will kneel down and will ask you to forgive them."
He added:
" The history is such that the injustices will come to an end with result. It is no way that the oppressor will go without punishment, at any rate the oppressor will get response to its actions, but we have to have patience and be hopeful."
While comparing the present situation with the time of Shah, grand Ayatolla Sanei said: "These people (who are running the country right now) are taking their last breath now"
Ayatollah Sanei also told the audience that: "Last year i have told that , the lie is becoming prevalent but what i didn't know was that it was becoming the culture (of the current government officials ), If all these people who have been arrested and detained are counter revolutionary then who is the revolutionary?"
