The Downfall
Regime’s fear of the ruling of US Court of Appeal continues
Tehran, July 22, 2010
Though days have passed from the ruling of US Court of Appeal in regard with delisting of PMOI, media affiliated with Khamenei’s band are still mourning about the issue.
Raja News state-run site wrote: “Maryam Rajavi said that when the court has ruled that PMOI’s name must be taken off the list, the law and justice must be respected and the decree must be executed”.
The site added: “the court has issued a verdict announcing that PMOI must have the opportunity to answer this allegation that ‘this group is still active in terrorist activities or has its potential’.”
Suppression
Khamenei himself has ordered the suppression of women
Tehran, July 23, 2010
A regime’s MP said that Khamenei himself has ordered the suppression of women under the mullah- made excuse of ‘improper veil’.
In reaction to some regime’s bands that fear the burst of people’s wrath because of the intensity of suppression of women, Mullah Mohammad Taghi Rahbar said: “I ask Sir (Khamanei) which authority and with what permission can stop SSF from executing its task (suppression of women)? Sir has warned SSF times and again that it is their natural duty to fight with the signs of ‘improper veil’ and corruption”.

Tehran- July 21, 2010
The physical health of Hossein Ronaqi Maleki who is detained in a solitary cell in cellblock 1A in Evin Prison is very poor but prison officials refuse to give him medical treatment.
This blogger and human rights activist is suffering from heart and kidney problems. Despite this, prison officials and interrogators refuse to allow him to receive medical attention and are oblivious to his physical health.
He has been under torture and physical and mental pressure in the months of his detention and this has led to numerous physical problems for him…
Hossein Ronaqi Maleki was arrested in the home of his brother, Hassan Ronaqi Maleki, on December 13, 2009. His brother, who did not have any previous political activities, was under severe physical torture for one month to force him to give false confessions. He was severely injured in the neck as a result of the torture.
Tehran- July 22, 2010
According to reports, political prisoner Reza Jushan announced in a letter sent to us that he was forced to go on a hunger strike as of July 21 because of the intolerable and inhume conditions in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj.
This 25 year old prisoner was arrested on December 1, 2009 after agents of the Intelligence Agency raided his home. He was taken to a solitary cell in the Sepah cellblock and after two months was taken to cellblock 4. Intelligence Agents once again raided the home of this family on December 7 and arrested his mother, Zahra Asadpour Gorji. She was also taken to the Sepah Cellblock and after weeks of interrogations and physical and mental torture, was transferred to Gohardasht Prison’s female cellblock. Gorji and her daughter Fatemeh Jushan were arrested before this for visiting their family members in Camp Ashraf in Iraq and were detained for 16 months in Gohardasht Prison. They were released after serving their prison term. Gorji and her son were sentenced to one year of prison to be served in Zanjan Prison and four years of exile in the Qeilar Village in Zanjan.
The below letter was written by Reza Jushan to Gerami, Gohardasht Prison’s manager and has been sent for us as well:
I announce in this way that I, Reza Jushan, son of Mohammad Salam, have been banned from having visits and making telephone calls in my detainment in cellblock 17 since April 10, 2010.
I have gone on a hunger strike for the below reasons:
My future state has not been determined and I have not been transferred to the public cellblock.
I am banned from making calls and visiting my mother Mrs. Zahra Asadpour Gorji, son of Habibollah, who is currently in the female cellblock in Gohardasht Prison.
Not having the right to call or see my family outside of prison.
All of these three stated issues are the minimum rights of a citizen and prisoner.
I have not received any answers to my previous letters I wrote to you.
Therefore I announce in complete physical and mental health that as of now I will go on a hunger strike for an unlimited amount of time.
It is obvious that until all the above mentioned issues are seen to I will not break my hunger strike.
Political prisoner Reza Jushan
Tehran- July 22, 2010
According to reports, political prisoners in cellblock 4 in Gohardasht Prison were violently beaten.
On Thursday July 22, the head of cellblock 4, Mahmoud Moghnian and his prison gangs attacked and violently beat political prisoners in this cellblock.
At about 10:30 am political prisoner Khaled Hardani who was in cell number 15 was attacked by a dangerous prisoner. After this attack, he was summoned and reprimanded and insulted by Moghnian. When Mr. Hardani protests his actions, Moghnian attacked and beat him with a baton. Hardani was then transferred to solitary.
After this measure, Moghnian ordered his prison gang who follow his orders in the cellblock in dealing drugs and suppressing prisoners, to attack political prisoners.
Student prisoner Hood Yazerlu was violently attacked by this gang. Hood lost a portion of his eyesight as a result of strikes to his head and he also sustained abrasions on his body.
Moghnian then ordered Hood Yazerlu to be transferred to the cell where the prison gang was detained. With this transfer he intends to subject this young political prisoner to serious danger. Other political prisoners protested this transfer.
Mahmoud Moghnian played a part in the killing of political prisoners in the 80’s especially in 1988 in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj and personally executed a large number of political prisoners. He also plays a part in attacking political prisoners and in these attacks, Amir Heshmat Saran, who was killed under torture, Behrouz Javid Tehrani, Afshin Baimani and other prisoners were seriously wounded.
The attack on political prisoners is decided by the offices of Khamenei because of its international sensitivity, is planned by the intelligence Agency and carried out in prison by Ali Haj Kazem and Ali Mohammadi, the head and assistant head of the prison, Kermani and Faraji, the head and assistant head of the Prison Intelligence Department and the head of the cellblock.
