Religious fascism ruling Iran hanged 

Political prisoner Ali Saremi 

Supporter of PMOI who had spent more than 23 years of his life in prison

Iran refuses to hand over body of executed political prisoner to his family
According to reports, several family members of executed political prisoner and PMOI supporter Ali Saremi went to Kahrizak Detention Center to get custody of Ali Saremi’s body. They were told by Evin Prison agents to go to Kahrizak for the body.
They were initially banned from entering Kahrizak and finally after persisting, security forces told them to leave and bring a letter from Evin Prison.
According to other reports, after widespread reports in the international media about the execution of this 63 year old political prisoner, the Iranian regime is looking to retaliate against his family and therefore arrested a number of his family members on the day he was hanged. They were finally forced to release them last night after harassing and threatening them. Security forces also raided their family shop today and arrested Ali Saremi’s nephew identified as Mohammad.

Biography of Ali Saremi
Brave supporter of PMOI resisted to the end
Dec. 29, 2010
Ali Saremi, political prisoner and a supporter of PMOI who was executed by the clerical dictatorship on Tuesday dawn Dec. 28, 2010 was born in 1948 in Broojerd. He started teaching at high schools after he graduated from university well knowing five foreign languages.
He spent about 24 years of his live at prisons on the whole suffering different kinds of pressure and torture.
He was incarnated for two years during Shah’s era and was freed by the revolution of 1979. He joined Teachers Movement supporters of PMOI but was arrested after June 20, 1981.
He was imprisoned five times during the rule of religious fascism in decades of 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s and was held in prisons of Gohardasht, Gezelhesar and Evin but each time he was more decisive to continue his struggle after he was freed.
He was last arrested end of summer of 2007 because he attended a ceremony for commemoration of the massacre of political prisoner, 30000 of them, in summer of 1988 and was in prison until the dawn of his execution.
Mr. Saremi has four children and has traveled to Ashraf City (the place of residence of PMOI members in Iraq) in years of 2003, 2004 and 2005.
During these years he was summoned to the reactionary courts of the regime four times but he didn’t accept the charges so they couldn’t allege him with anything in particular.
He was arrested in February 2005 only because he had laid flower on the grave of Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh on behalf of the leadership of the resistance. He was tried on late Fall of 2006 because of that and was condemned to 6 years imprisonment along with being exiled for a year to Minab’s prison.
In 1987 he sent his only son Akbar to Ashraf to join NLA.
During the clash that occurred between henchmen of Evin and his family and the families of other political prisoner on Tuesday for receiving his body Poya, Mahin and Mohtaram Saremi his daughter, wife and sister; Akram Sanjari mother of political prisoner Misagh Yazdan Panah and Hadi and Mahbobeh Mansouri the son and sister of political prisoner Mohammad Ali Mansouri were arrested and taken into Evin Prison.
To cover its crime the clerical regime announced that ‘a member of Mohafeghin grouplet’ was executed on charge of ‘Moharebe’ along with Ali Akbar Siadat the ‘element of Zionist regime’s spying service’.
Regime’s media published the decree of execution of Mr. Saremi as:
“The extinct (Ali Saremi) travelled in 2002 to Monafeghin’s camp called Ashraf and was trained and returned back to the country. Then along with some freed prisoners of this grouplet he started propagating for them. Monafeghin paid him to hold gatherings for the group and publish and distribute a publication called ‘Aryaee Land’. He propagated for Monafeghin publicy at his work and distributed the pictures of its leaders. He attracted some and sent them to Monafeghin’s camp in Iraq. He organized sessions and sent their clips to be broadcasted from Monafeghin’s TV. He actively provided and distributed advertising brochures for Monafeghin and the poster of their leaders to be posted in general places. He was in contact with Monafeghin’s contact centers by the order of the grouplet...”.
Then the media continued that he was condemned to death by article 47 of the law of Islamic Punishment and articles 186, 190 and 191.

Dec. 29, 2010 
In the name and memory of those who fall for freedom during Iran’s national uprising.
Hail to all political prisoners who are fully withstanding the henchmen of Velayat.
Hail to the risen students of our homeland.
Hail to people of Iran.
Hail to Ali Saremi the day he was born and the day he joined eternity.
Death to the principle of Velayat-e-Faghieh,
…You henchmen, you will probably get your decisive answer by people like Ali Saremi and we the people of Iran. Once more the trembling hands of Velayat is getting closer to its final…Do you think by killing Ali Saremi this fire will be hushed?
Since the day that Ali Saremi like those other who fall for freedom of their people said no to the oppressor he was ready for this moment and we are ready for it too.
You killed Ali but by this you give birth to thousand other Alies…
The other day Khomeini massacred (political prisoners) in fear of his overthrow and now you are doing the same…
At the end we pay our condolences to the family of Ali Saremi; now the whole Iran, and we strongly condemn this vicious act of brutal mullahs.
Death to the ominous Velayat and to religious fascism
Death to Khamenei
Hail to freedom

Ali Saremi joined eternity- message of political prisoners
Dec. 28, 2010 
A group of political prisoners of ward 2 of Karaj’s Gohardasht Prison sent a message for the martyrdom of Ali Saremi titled ‘Ali Saremi joined the eternity’.
After paying their condolences to the family of Mr. Saremi and all freedom loving people they said; “…neither us ... believed that this cruel decree will be executed. When he was summoned by Intelligence he had a high spirit and he said goodbye to us. We were awaiting his return…and we never believed that our friend has been transferred to Evin Prison for execution…Regime’s officials blocked our calls to outside the prison from fear. All the freedom loving people of Iran must know that in his last days Ali was roomed in corridors of ward 2 because the ward was so crowded to make him even weaker...
The brutal rulers of Iran must know that by suppression and killing struggle of our nation for freedom and social justice will not end. They will gain nothing but notoriety from executing Ali Saremi. Because he, like other who fall for freedom we be alive for ever.
