Human Rights Watch - Iran: Rights Situation Dire


For Immediate Release

Iran: Rights Situation Dire
Serious Abuses by Judiciary, Security Forces


(Beirut, January 29, 2015) – Repressive elements within Iran’s security and intelligence forces and judiciary retained wide powers and carried out serious rights abuses throughout 2014, Human Rights Watch said today in its World Report 2015.

Iran’s powerful security and intelligence forces, aided by a compliant judiciary, have carried out their repressive activities despite hopes for an improvement in the rights situation after Hassan Rouhani became president in August 2013. Officials apparently stepped up their crackdown on dissent through the Internet, with revolutionary courts meting out harsh punishments, including death sentences against bloggers and social media users. Officials also detained or targeted many activists and leading opposition figures, including the 2009 presidential candidates Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, who remained under house arrest without trial. Executions, especially for drug-related offenses, were carried out at an alarming rate.

“Iran’s judiciary and security forces are a major impediment to justice and accountability for victims of rights abuses in Iran,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch. “Clearly, despite his popular mandate, President Rouhani has little control over their actions. But he can and should do more to show Iranians that he will stand up for human rights and justice.”

In the 656-page world report, its 25th edition, Human Rights Watch reviews human rights practices in more than 90 countries. In his introductory essay, Executive Director Kenneth Roth urges governments to recognize that human rights offer an effective moral guide in turbulent times, and that violating rights can spark or aggravate serious security challenges. The short-term gains of undermining core values of freedom and non-discrimination are rarely worth the long-term price.


In Iran, women and ethnic and religious minorities, including Baha’is, faced discrimination in law and in practice. Iran is also one of the largest prisons for journalists and bloggers in the world, with at least 48 in detention as of October 2014. They included the Washington Post correspondent, Jason Rezaian, whom security agents arrested on July 22 along with his wife, Yeganeh Salehi, also a journalist. Authorities are holding Rezaian without charge and have prevented him from accessing his lawyer. The government also systematically blocks websites and jams foreign satellite broadcasts.

According to official sources, Iranian authorities executed at least 200 prisoners in 2014, though the real number is thought to be over 600. At least eight may have been child offenders who were under 18 at the time of the killings or rapes that led to their death sentences.


Dozens of activists and human rights defenders are in prison because of peaceful or professional activities, including defense lawyers such as Mohammad Seifzadeh and Abdolfattah Soltani who were targeted in part because of their affiliation with Shirin Ebadi’s Center for Human Rights Defenders. Nasrin Sotoudeh, a lawyer who served a prison term on vague national security charges, was banned from practicing law for 10 years following her release from prison in 2013.
In September 2014, a court overturned the ban, but on October 18 the Iranian Bar Association’s disciplinary committee told Sotoudeh that it had revoked her law license for three years because of the conviction.

The government has long denied entry to Ahmed Shaheed, the United Nations special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran.

Western Countries Including USA's Support for Saudi King ( Rulers ) and Their Disregard for Human Rights Particularly the Women Rights is Disgusting...... This Graphic video shows the beheading of a Women in Day light in Saudi Streets to Create Fear among the Saudi Women....

The gruesome footage shows Saudi authorities publicly beheading the woman in the holy city of Mecca earlier this week. The execution is the tenth to be carried out in country in the last two weeks; setting 2015 up to be even more bloody than last year, when 87 people were punitively killed by the state.
The video shows the woman, a Burmese resident named as Lalia Bint Abdul Muttablib Basim, screaming while being dragged along the street. Four police officers then hold the woman down before a sword-wielding man slices her head then taking three blows to complete the act. The exceutioner is then found doing his usual habit in every execution: busy wiping his sword to prevent the rusting process of the blade.
Then the ambulance comes with a loud speaker that shouts out “this is the interior ministry” continuing verses from the Quran: “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement, Except those who repent before you have them in your power; so know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”
In the chilling recording, Basim, who was found guilty in a Saudi Sharia court of sexually abusing and murdering her seven-year-old step-daughter and is heard protesting her innocence until the very end.
Saudi Arabia bases its legal system on Sharia and when it comes to the death penalty it can be given for armed robbery, drug-related offences, sorcery, adultery, murder, rape and apostasy from Islam.
Beheading is widely seen in the country as the most humane means of executing but death by stoning, crucifixion, and death by firing squad is also carried out in the holiest city in Islam.
Basim’s execution comes as the Saudi authorities are already under the spotlight for the public flogging of Raif Badawi, a blogger and political activist who was sentenced to 10 years in prison and a total of 1,000 lashings for insulting religious authorities.

Saudi Arabia carried out last year, nearly 87 executions, up from nine cases in 2013. Several  international human rights organizations demanded that Saudi Arabia stop the implementation of those provisions and replace them with other forms of punishment.

RSF..........


Charlie Hebdo's journalists never backed down. They always used their freedom of expression to the fullest, neither yielding to censorship nor censoring themselves. Their use of freedom must now be an example to all of us.

Many of you have taken part in demonstrations or made donations. It is an impressive surge of solidarity in which you all demonstrate your commitment to freedom of expression and information. Today we invite you to express your outrage by signing our appeal to condemn the individuals and governments that think they are justified in killing journalists in religion's name.

Neither censorship nor self-censorship must be allowed to prevail, in the name of Charlie Hebdo and all those who fell while defending our fundamental values.

Reporters Without Borders' team

Let ink flow, not blood

The massacre of Charlie Hebdo’s journalists constitutes the gravest of attacks on our freedoms. This dark hour in the history of the world’s media has highlighted the extreme nature of the violence to which journalists are exposed when they dare to criticize or just question religion – an action often branded as “blasphemy” by fundamentalists.
We appeal for a broad campaign against all the predators of press freedom who use religious grounds to perpetrate horrific acts against journalists and cartoonists. When radical groups open fire with automatic weapons inside news organizations in France, Iraq or Pakistan, it is the public’s rights that are being targeted.
Extremists feel encouraged when certain government pursue draconian policies. When a website creator is sentenced to a thousand lashes in Saudi Arabia for “insulting Islam,” when an Afghan journalist narrowly avoids a death sentence for “blasphemy” or when countries campaign for an international ban on “defamation of religion,” our freedoms are in danger.
So that ink should flow instead of blood, we call on politicians, civil society representatives and religious leaders with a concern for freedom to resist all those who would limit our most fundamental rights.

12 cartoonists and journalists killed at Charlie Hebdo's office in Paris by two individual radical moslem yesterday morning . I can't imagine losing these twelve journalists and cartoonists , some of them so prominent , most talented individuals of a society . It takes so much time to produce these kind of individuals, let alone some of them were at their peak of talents. They could move a society with the strike of their pencils . They were the pioneers of the french society . They were at the forefront of the ideas and when we talk about the intellectuals ,it means these people who like a candle burn to bring light in the society or to enlighten a society .
They are the most informed group of people ,bringing information through their satirical cartoons. 
I'm deeply saddened since yesterday, by befriending with some of the Iranian cartoonists and knowing well about their potentialities , finding this loss a huge one and extend my solidarity with French people and France .

I think France and french people have every right to cry to their bone about these loss. 
It is not about these individuals ,it is about their radical ideas and those who preaches these kinds of ideas . These individuals are lacking knowledge , as the Noble Prize wining girl Yousefzay put it "Education " is what they need . lack of education and knowledge make them vulnerable to brain wash. 
Since 1980's we have come to hear about Mojahedeen , Taliban , ISIS , Boko Al Haram , Al Qaeda ,Al Shabab ...( .Al capon , Al ......) most vicious groups as they were and as they are - of course with their poisonous ideas , faith and beliefs . 
I still can't believe someone takes heavy machine gun and kills people . i believe to eradicate these individuals ,one must go deep in to the societies , schools , faith places or group meetings and find out what they have been taught .
1-
I am all for Free Expression with no limit without violence. Its up to those who have little tolerance to increase their tolerance or capacities. If i take a glass of water and put some amount of salt in it, it will become salty right away, but if i put so much amount of salt into the sea it won't become salty ,What i am trying to say is capacity building, Especially capacity building in closed societies which are left behind either by their governments or by their faiths,ideologies and individually ....
We all know societies change rapidly and with it ,new phenomenons are budding out and we have to face it with full tolerance and find answer for it. It is wrong when someone has little tolerance use violence to achieve their goals. 
2-
Historically we can go back to centuries on these violent type of activities like Assassins .......but in recent years it came to our attention more after 1980's , when Mojahedin in Afghanistan supported by US started their fight against Soviet Union. Mojahedin's leaders like Golbuddin Hekmatyar is still among Taliban like Mulla Omar and.others are in border of Afghanistan and Pakistan . The location where they are is a market place for Gun selling , drug trafficking like heroin , Opium and so on ..... 
We also came to know Radical Muslims in Chechniya , Al Qaeda , Al Shabab , Boko Al Haram , ISIS and so on ...
Lets not to forget just a few weeks ago in Pakistan ,Taliban massacred 100+ young students. 
Frankly speaking US and other allied countries including some Islamic States like Saudi Arabia, Iran ,Pakistan created their own Frankenstein . Feeding mentally, morally and financially to these groups must end right away .
Eradication of fanatic / radical ideas wont come over night , it needs time for governments / countries to work on grass rout level or from the base to build a society with high in capacity and tolerance and against violence in any forms.
Most of these radical groups are located between the borders of countries , an area where no countries can reach them. 
 
There must be no concession or compromise what so ever with these groups. I say this because there were talks in Afghan Government to make peace with Taliban.

The Personal website of Ali Motahari a conservative MP is out of reach because of a post on a letter he wrote to Mohammad Sadegh Larijani the head of judiciary about the house arrest of three leaders of green movement . In the letter Mr. Motahari questioned about the judicial system of the Islamic Republic and a comments made by the head of the judiciary . The head of judiciary on a question put to him about the house arrest without trial said: " The house arrest i legal and putting the leaders of the green movement on trial needs a sanction law ratified by national security council . "
MP Motahari said: Unfortunately your reason for the house arrest is weak and it brings the democratic foundation of the Islamic Republic and the constitution under question .
What the head of judiciary said isn't true , instead he said earlier that,  " if they put the green movement leader s on trial ,they may get a tribune to speak their voice" !!!.????
