Suppression


Death row political prisoner (PMOI supporter) under torture in Evin Prison
Tehran, May 7, 2010

According to ISC reports, death row political prisoner Jafar Kazemi is under torture and pressure by intelligence agents in ward 209 in Evin Prison to give an interview ('confess') on television.
This 47-year-old prisoner is father of two. He has a lithographing company and has lithographed all the educational books for Amir Kabir University.
Jafar Kazemi was arrested on September 18, 2009 while in a Taxi to pick up his wife who had gone on a trip. Four cars which belonged to the Intelligence Agency stopped him in 7 Hoz Square and forced him out of the car while beating him. These agents also beat the taxi driver on the street amid protests from Kazemi saying that he was only a taxi driver.
Kazemi was then transferred to cellblock 209 of Evin Prison and was under the most severe psychological and physical torture for the first 3 days of this incarceration. These tortures which went on for 72 hours left scars on his face and body and he also suffered an injury in his nose and jaw. Kazemi also lost a large amount of weight. Interrogators did not give him any treatment even while he was bleeding and continued their tortures. The interrogators then threatened him that if he did not participate in TV confessions, they would arrest his son and wife. They will bring them to ward 209 to torture them in front of him. But Kazemi still did not give in to their demands. After 74 hours in a solitary cell, he was transferred to ward 350.
After widespread protests on Ashura (December 27, 2009) intelligence agents once again put him under pressure to participate in TV interviews and announce that he was arrested on Ashura and repeat the words dictated to him by his interrogators. Otherwise they would arrest and torture his wife and son in front of him.
He was once again tortured for a few hours in which two of his teeth broke and he also suffered severe injuries in his nose and shoulder. Kazemi told his interrogators that they could do whatever they wanted but he will not repeat what they told him to in front of cameras and that he would only speak the truth. He was severely tortured because one of his sons is in camp Ashraf in Iraq (the residence of PMOI members in Iraq). Alavi, the head interrogator, has constantly reminded Kazemi of this.
Kazemi is tortured by an interrogator nicknamed Alavi. Alavi kicked and punched Kazemi in the face and broke his teeth and nose.
Kazemi's case was referred to the 28th branch of the so-called Revolutionary Court which is headed by Moqiseh nicknamed as Naserian who was a member of the 'death commission' in charge of killing thousands of political prisoners in 1988. Because there is no evidence of any action carried out by Kazemi, Moqiseh has sentenced him to death on charges like moharebeh (enmity with God), spreading propaganda against the government, acting against national security, organizing Amir Kabir University’s students and being in contact with former political prisoners and their families. Mohammad Moqiseh despises former political prisoners and has stated this issue a number of times. He has even told them that 'we should have executed you while you were jailed and made a mistake in not doing so'.
Kazemi's death sentence was upheld by Ahmad Zargar, the head of the 36th branch of the Revolutionary Court of Review. Zargar was an interrogator in the 80's and tortured political prisoners. During the recent protests, he gave heavier sentences to prisoners whose cases were referred to him compared to the prisoner's initial sentences.
Death row political prisoner Jafar Kazemi was a political prisoner in 1980's. He was jailed and tortured from 1981 to 1990.

Tehran, May 7, 2010

The clerical dictatorship has spread its suppressive measures in Tehran under the title of ‘Unperceivable SSF Police’.

‘Veil’ and excuse for more suppression


Mullah Khatami utters nonsense against women of the Uprising
Tehran, May 7, 2010

Once again mullah Khatami, Tehran’s temporary Friday Imam uttered nonsense in Friday Prayer against the women of Iran and showed regime’s weakness in regard with the resistance of our women. Mullah Khatami called this resistance as “the front of soft war” against the System and said: “this front tries to express itself in different fields of films, art, theater, sport and magazines. One of the fields is improper veil and in some places they are actually putting the veil aside”.
He added: “despite of what people think veil in not a personal matter it is completely a social matter and it is the cause of tens of mortal sins”!
He continued: “I tell you as our nation (read Khamenei’s mercenaries) defeated the sedition it will confront improper veil …with the same power”.


Friday prayer carnival; Bassijies yell against women
Tehran, May 7, 2010

Following the protest demonstration of 2000 female students of Tehran University against compulsory veil the clerical dictatorship sent some of it mercenaries into the streets after Friday Prayer show to yell against women.
While chanting imposturous slogans they demanded that this decree of Khomeini be executed: “either veil or suppression”.
In his decree Khomeini had given permission to his hooligans that if the relevant organs didn’t act against improper veil Bassijies are allowed to engage.
Khamenei too has said in his misogynous sayings advising regime’s mercenaries: “we cannot solve the problem by talking and giving advises. The power of the System must stop corruption and prostitution”.

It hurts!
Tehran, May 7, 2010

Manoocher Motaki regime’s foreign minister desperate in regard with Canada’s position against regime’s membership in Women’s Commission of United Nation said: “Canadian official’s position in regard with human right’s issues is always politically biased. They are made to say such things and they act as Zionists want them to”.
It is to be mentioned that regime is accepted as a member in this commission because Asia must have two member states and there were only two candidates one of them the clerical regime.
If the membership was based on votes then this misogynous regime had no place in the commission as Canada’s Foreign Minister put it.
