Neda's mother: Her eyes will remain open until she obtains her goalSeptember 4, 2010
The mother of a young woman whose death last year became a symbol of the anti-regime uprisings in Iran has demanded the trial of her daughter’s murderer by the International Court of Justice at the Hague, the International Human Rights Campaign reported on Monday.
Neda Aqa Soltan was murdered by the Iranian regime’s agents during a peaceful rally on June 20, 2009. Scenes of her death, which were captured by a cell phone and broadcasted all over the world, provoked an international outcry against the clerical regime’s barbaric suppression of the protests. The Iranian regime tried to cover up the crime by producing a number of fabricated footage and outlandish documentaries to silence protests.
However, in reaction to the documentaries broadcasted on state-run TV, Neda’s mother said, “Nobody believes these lies, neither the people of Iran nor the people of the world. I know who the murderer is, but the government doesn’t accept it.”
“When I protested against a documentary that said Neda committed suicide, they replied that I should share my complaint with the media. But, what would I say in a state-run newspaper? … I replied that I know who Neda’s murderer is and that is why I will never appear on state-run TV and radio. … They discredited themselves even more by making such films.”
Ms. Aqa Soltan also recounted scenes of her daughter’s death by saying, “Neda’s eyes were open and they will always remain open until she obtains her goal. … If her eyes were closed perhaps her influence would not have been as much. It was her open eyes that shook Iran and the entire world.”
Slain protester’s widow: those who attacked my husband’s gravesite should know that I have become more intent to speak out
Massoumeh Chegini, the wife of slain protester Moharam Chegini said in an interview that in the past two weeks, the gravesite of her husband, who was shot and killed in the June 15, 2009 march in Tehran ,was attacked. She also said that her pursuits of this issue via the authorities of Behesht Zahra Cemetery have had no result.
“The first week they broke all the showcase glasses (next to his grave) and this week when I went to my husband’s gravesite, I saw that they had taken his picture and the Quran in the showcase. They even pulled out a board with his name on it from the ground and took it away with them”, she said.
Mrs. Chegini said that the identity of the culprits is still unknown.
“I initially went up to the head of the Behesht Zahra cemetery with this issue but they tell me that I have to go their offices and from their offices they told me to go somewhere else and in the end they told me to put up another board up next to his grave”.
“Eyewitnesses in Behesht Zahra say that four people attacked my husband’s grave in section 256 and pulled out the board that we had made ourselves for my husband. But the eyewitnesses were not able to distinguish who these people were or why they did this”, she added.
“It is correct that there are no more marches on the streets, it is correct that it seems that the people have been silenced but I think there is something in our hearts that will not be forgotten so easily. Because neither my husband nor other young people who went out on the streets have not gotten their votes back and we have not received any answers on who the murderers of our loved ones are”.
“The blood of all these people cannot be trampled on. People will never forget that protesters were shot and killed right in front of their eyes and that they did not help any of the families afterwards. I hope that one day I find the murderer of my husband so that the blood of my husband and other young people will not be trampled upon and I urge the leaders of the movement and the people not to let us be”.
“My husband was a laborer and made ends meet with much effort. None of the officials who claim justice in an Islamic country asked themselves that when they kill the breadwinner of a household, how is his lonely wife supposed to live under these abhorrent conditions? Have any of the officials asked themselves why they do not even answer to our lawyer?”
“Those who kill young people and then act as if nothing has happened when these slain people have wives and children and that they might live under tough conditions should know that the hope that is flourishing in our hearts and that of the people will one day bring down the murderers. It is true that we are suffering when we see that our wounds are made fresh everyday but with these measures they have led me to become more intent in following the goal in my heart to not let the blood of my husband be trampled on”, Mrs. Chegini concluded.

Eyewitness accounts from Gohardasht prison in Iran
September 4, 2010
Prisoners in Gohardasht prison, situated in Karaj, undergo continuous psychological torture, according to eyewitness accounts.
Gangs and drug dealing has become rampant in the prison while food is limited and has extremely low quality. The rice, for example, is served almost uncooked. Some inmates are forced to go hungry because the food ration is not enough.
According to these reports, the prison’s shop is not well stocked. Meat and protein products which were previously sold twice or triple the regular price are now only limited to prison personnel and not the inmates. Long lines for the shop often lead to fights.
According to one of the prisoners, even after all this, the shop sometimes uses various pretexts and closes its doors without serving the prisoners.
