Mohammad sadegh Larijani's enmity with Bahai's in Iran and Islamic Republic justice system !?



Reports indicate that Islamic Republic security agents have shifted their attack on Bahai's from city's to villages in the country side and have arrested 15 Bahai's.Regime agents have targeted a village known as "Kata" in the region of Yasooj and arrested Sina Ravankard a 25 year old man and Hajir the son of Amir .Regime transfered these people to Yasooj and Shiraz prison.



Mohammad Sadegh Larijani is the head of Judiciary power in the Islamic Republic. He runs the show . justice system and all judges and court work under his suppervision.

I really like to ask him , what is his belief or position towards Bahai's ?I mean not the Bahai's in Iran ,but generally Bahai's all over the world?

I want to ask him , why and on what charges the seven leaders of Bahai's are still in the jail?!!

Why so much animosity or hostility against Bahai families ? And their childeren? why can't they live peacefully beside their Iranian brother and sisters with other faiths as an Iranian citizen.

History will judge you with your conducts and responsibility as the top executive in the justice system of the Islamic Republic.

Iranian people must end these games by regime!

30 + years isn't a little time ! It's time for a generation. In all these years Regime play'd its own melody and neglected to come along with people's melody, to listen and to bend to people's sovereignty. Because the intention of the revolution in 1978-79 was to acheive people's sovereignty. Iranian people must end regim's game of "Islam".people must expand their social networking ,reorganize and regroupe their resistance against this regime. The problems the country and the Iranian people facing today is only and only can be solved through and by the Iranian people and not by any other external forces.Iranian people must beseige this regime through an action of civil and human rights for all Iranian citizens.

Dr. Abdolkarim Lahiji: Mr. Musavi and Karoubi together with their wives were " forcefully kidnapped ".



Arash Eghbali-Mihan

The case file of a " kidnapping " after 150 days !

Dr. Abdolkarim Lahiji Vice president of the International Federation of Human Rights League (FIDH)& President of the Association of Human Rights Defenders in Iran on speaking with Mihan website ( In Paris) called the situation of Musavi and Karoubi and their wives as "kidnapping" by the Islamic Republic in Iran. Musavi and Karoubi were two presidential candidates in June 2009. Its been five months since they were silenced by the regime and it is believed they are under house arrest. The Iranian who have voted for these two candidates have no news about their candidates and the relation between them and public were cut off by regime. People believe Mr. Musavi was the winner in the election but regime rigged the election and called Ahmadinejad as the winner . As a result of this outcome People poured into the streets and protested against the result.


"Because none of the officials formally confirmed the arrest of Mr. Musavi and Mr. Karoubi ,legally this can be called " forcefull kidnapping" , and because of this situation, we are going to follow up the files of these persons in a committee which observe the execution of a convention in the United Nation on people who have been forcefully disappeared.", Said Mr. Lahiji .

According to Dr. Lahiji, "it has been stressed in the constitution of the Islamic Republic that; within 24 hours the reasons for accusation must be explained to the accused , which in this case it did not happen. If regime officials say ,they are under surveilance ,being under surveilance is also a legal action. It should become clear at what time,by which judge and on what charges , this judicial decision was made."

Earlier Dr. Lahiji told to DW radio that ; "one week after their disappearance we have informed the situation to this commitee and told them about their identities and last residence and other information.We know our complaint has been send to Islamic Republic but until now there is no response to the complaint."

German top human rights official urges Iran to release detained opposition leaders

By: The Associated Press
Posted: 07/14/2011 3:38 AM
BERLIN - Germany's top human rights official is urging Iran to release the country's detained opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi.
Human rights commissioner Markus Loening said Thursday the pair "held without any legal basis at an unknown location with no contact to the outside world" must be freed, "along with all other political prisoners."
Loening's statement comes exactly five months after the opposition leaders vanished after calling for rallies in solidarity with the Egyptian uprising. Their supporters say they are being detained along with their wives, a charge the government denies.
They ran against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009 and lost in an election widely seen as fraudulent and followed by a ruthless crackdown on protest rallies.

Guardian-Iran tightens online censorship to counter US 'shadow internet'‏

Iran tightens online censorship to counter US 'shadow internet'
Tehran fury at 'internet in a suitcase' prompts upgrade to web filtering system blocking forbidden websites


Banned in Iran: Facebook and Twitter are among the sites outlawed by the Islamic regime Photograph: Robert Galbraith/REUTERS
Iran has stepped up online censorship by upgrading the filtering system that enables the Islamic regime to block access to thousands of websites it deems inappropriate for Iranian users.
The move comes one month after the United States announced plans to launch new services facilitating internet access and mobile phone communications in countries with tight controls on freedom of speech, a decision that infuriated Tehran's regime and prompted harsh reactions from several Iranian officials.
The upgrade had at first appeared as a relaxation of the censorship machine. Iran's online community said on Monday that filtering was temporarily lifted for the entire country, giving users access to banned websites such as Twitter and Facebook. But hopes for an end to censorship were dashed when news agencies reported later in the day that the respite was due to the process of making the upgrade.
Despite the filtering, many Iranians access blocked addresses with help from proxy websites or virtual private network (VPN) services. The upgrade is aimed at stopping users bypassing censorship.
More than 5 million websites are filtered in Iran. Media organisations including the Guardian, BBC and CNN are blocked, though access to the New York Times website is allowed. On Google, the Farsi equivalents for words such as "condom", "sex", "lesbian" and "anti-filtering" are filtered out.
Iran is believed to be worried about the influence of the internet and especially social networking websites as pro-democracy activists across the Middle East use them to promote and publicise their movements.
Iran's semi-official Fars news agency quoted an unnamed official as saying: "The ministry of communications and information technology is strengthening the filtering system and recent disruptions were the result of this upgrade."
At the same time, Nasimonline.ir, an agency that publishes short Twitter-style bursts of news, said it had received information that "a new filtering system that targets Google and Yahoo search engines" had been installed and tested on Monday.
"I think that the new upgrade in the filtering system is a signal from Iran that the regime is prepared to stop any attempt by the US to challenge the country's online censorship," said an Iranian who spoke to the Guardian by phone from Tehran on condition of anonymity.
The New York Times reported last month that the Obama administration is leading a global effort to deploy what is known as "shadow internet" or "internet in a suitcase" by spending $2m (£1.25m) on secretive projects to create "independent cellphone networks inside foreign countries". The aim is to provide services that allow "wireless communication over a wide area with a link to the global internet" in support of dissidents in countries that have tightened their grip on freedom of speech.
In reaction to the US move, Iran's intelligence minister, Heidar Moslehi, was quoted by Fars as saying: "We had predicted these actions, such as the internet in suitcase, and we have planned proper ways to combat them."
In an interview with the semi-official Mehr news agency, Iran's minister for communications and information technology, Reza Taghipour, accused the US of "cyber terrorism" for its plans to launch "internet in suitcase".
In April, the Tehran government announced that it intended to launch "halal internet", a country-wide intranet and a parallel network that conforms to Islamic values with the ultimate goal of substituting for the global internet.
Iran's opposition believe that Iran is buying its filtering technology from China. In September 2009 Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards, a body under the direct control of the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, purchased 51% of the Telecommunications Company of Iran, which monitors internet filtering in the country.

Hello All;As you may know Mr Tabarzadi's health condition is very unstable, as he experiences several heart attacks in the past few days and he was denied access to medical care. It is important that we raise the international attention to this case , so I have prepared this letter (see attached) , please let me know if you wish to sign it. The letter is addressed to Minister of Foreign Affairs and the leaders of opposition.Please send me your info by the end of tonight. (Format: 1. First Name 2. Family Name, 3. Affiliation)

Many Thanks

Mehrdad



The Hon. John Baird Minister of Foreign Affairs
CC: Hon Jack Layton, Leader of the Official Opposition
CC: Hon Bob Rae; Leader of the Third Party
We, the undersigned, would like to congratulate the Canadian Government and particularly your ministry for the recent action on intensifying restrictions against those individuals who are linked to Human Rights abuses in Iran. We would also like to draw your attention to a developing tragedy in an Iranian jail, namely the case of Mr. Heshmatollah Tabarzadi. He is suffering from complications related to his heart problems and has recently had several heart attacks in jail, according to news from Rejai Prison and his family members. His request to be transferred to a medical centre is denied and his health condition is deteriorating day by day.

Heshmatollah Tabarzadi, aged 53, is a journalist, political activist, leader of
the banned Democratic Front of Iran and a proponent of Secular Democracy and non-violence. He has been in prison for 10 out of the past 14 years for opposing the theocratic system. Last time he was arrested was on 27 December 2009. He has stated several times since then that he has been beaten and threatened with rape during his detention and has been under immense pressure to forced confession.

We urgently request that the Canadian Government take some swift measures to engage the international community in holding the Islamic Republic of Iran responsible for the health of Mr. Tabarzadi, ensuring his immediate access to professional medical care and subjecting him to a fair legal process.

More generally, the situation of political prisoners in Iran is a humanitarian catastrophe in the making. In the absence of immediate and effective measures, the world community may be inundated by horrific news from Iranian prisons in the near future. The recent example of Reza Hoda Saber should be taken as a grave warning. Reza Hoda Saber was facing some medical problems due to a prolonged hunger strike in prison. Instead of being granted access to medical care he was beaten by prison guards and later died due to heart failure.

We thank you in advance for your attention to Mr. Tabarzadi’s case and anticipate the appropriate measures by the Canadian Government.

Will the People in the green movement stand up for the freedom of their leaders?!

According to the website of "Kalameh" a website close to Mirhossein Musavi, one of the leader of the green movement , Ms. Navab Safavi, the mother of Zahra Rahnavard (The wife of Musavi)in an interview told to Kalameh that, in her last visit with her daughter and son-inlaw with the presence of tens of agents , they looked very pale,have lost weight and she said ,she was shocked when she saw them and is worried about both of them.family members are worried about their health, but the agents have said, they have their own doctors.This makes us to worry, because we cant provide our own doctors ,said Ms. Safavi. Ms. Safavi said, two weeks ago when i visited them ,they were fine and strong. Agents ( women and men) are everywhere inside and outside the house. The agents are forcing the family to keep quiete and not to say anything to anyone . This makes us to worry more ,said Ms.Navab safavi (zahra rahnavards' mother).

It seems the situation of Mr. Karoubi and his wife would likely be the same. Both leaders together with their wives are under house arrest for more than four months....

Raise Your Voice in Solidarity with The Political Prisoners in Iran.

Raise Your Voice in Solidarity with The Political Prisoners in Iran.25 June 2011The political prisoners in Iran are entering of a hunger strike in protest of the death of a fellow prisoner Hoda Saber, and Haleh Sahabi a Human Rights activist. Haleh Sahabi was murdered during her father’s funeral and Hoda Saber died after the first week of being on hunger strike by injuries that were inflicted on him by the prison guards. The main immediate demand of the prisoners on hunger strike is “safety for all political prisoners and prisoners of conscience”. We, the undersigned organizations and individuals strongly support their demand and hold the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) accountable for their health and well being. The political prisoners and prisoners of conscience in Iran are held in custody under severe conditions, and are persecuted in practicing their basic human rights. While demanding the protection of their lives and their dignity, we call for their immediate release. The Iranian regime with desperation to cover up its crimes, has disregarded United Nations (UN) requests and has not allowed the UN Special Rapporteur of the Human Rights Council to enter and investigate Human Rights violations in Iran. We appreciate and encourage further efforts of the Human Rights Council and ask all UN member governments to place pressure on the Iranian government in accepting the UN request. The lives of the political prisoners who are on hunger strike are in danger. We have already lost Hoda Saber and cannot afford to lose any others to the criminal acts of IRI. We also make appeal to all who value human lives and freedom, and ask they raise their voices and support the just demands of all Iranian political prisoners and the who are on hunger strike while demanding the Iranian government to allow the investigation of the UN Special Rapporteur.
We, the undersigned organizations and individuals strongly support all demand of the political prisoners and hold the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) accountable for their health and well being.
