The interrogator told my husband: to preserve the Establishment we need some scapegoats!

Tehran, Jan. 10, 2011
After the unannounced execution of Ali Saremi, political prisoner and a supporter of PMOI there is a great concern that the religious fascism ruling Iran would unnoticeably hang Jafar Kazemi whose decree of execution has been sent to the Branch for Execution of Decrees.
Kazami is accused of ‘Moharebeh by cooperating and having connection with PMOI and propagation against the establishment’.
Mr. Kazami’s spouse, Roodabeh Akbari in her interview with Committee of Reporters of Human Rihgts said that neither she nor his lawyer were able to do anything: “…for several times my request to see the prosecutor was denied…at the end by one of Evin’s soldiers I was informed that my husband’s sentence has been sent to the Branch for Execution of Decrees…”
Mrs. Akbari has formerly written a letter to UN Secretary General asking for help to rescue his husband. In some part of this letter she has written: “the interrogator has told my husband: ‘we need some scapegoats to preserve the Establishment (clerical dictatorship) and one of them is you’. They wanted him to have an interview about Ashura (Uprising 2009) but he opposed the act because he has been arrested three months before Ashura! They told him that if he doesn’t accept they will torture his family in front of his eyes and ‘we will chop your wife into pieces in front of you’, but he still resisted any interview. Then they told him that he will be executed for sure”.
Mrs. Akbari pointed to her last visit and said that Mr. Kazemi has had good spirit and he has told her: “they don’t tell the prisoner (that they are taking him away to execute), just one night before the execution they transfer the prisoner to solitary cells in silence and then they execute him”.”
Mr. Kazemi has been tried accused of participating in Ashura Uprising of 2009 but he was arrested on Sep. 18, 2009. He was under pressure and torture to participate in compulsory TV interviews but he resisted and was then condemned to death along with 6 other political prisoners all supporters of PMOI.
Mrs. Akbari said: “he was not allowed to meet with his lawyer, even in the court they prevented them to talk to each other. He was arrested that day with four others and judge Moghiseh said that they are all related together while they weren’t and he addressed my husband as accused No. 1. In half an hour the court investigated all four cases. We were not allowed to be present in the court and all this time I was sitting in the corridor...The (so-called) judge didn’t permit my husband to talk and told him that he should have been executed at 1980s (Mr. Kazemi was a political prisoner then too); ‘that was a mistake but this time I will not let you to be rescued’…I referred to the court several times…but they shouted ‘Monafegh’ (hypocrite the name regime calls PMOI members) at me and threw me out of the court…Mrs. Qhanavi his lawyer tried a lot and first she was hopeful because the file was empty and had no documents in it. So we were hopeful that the country’s Supreme Court would nullify the decree. But eventually on July 28, 2010 the court endorsed the decree…”
Jafar Kazemi is 47 and has two children.

Interview of Amir Kazemi, Jafar Kazemi’s brother

Tehran, Jan. 10, 2011

But we heard news that they are going to execute him…At his primary court he was accused of visiting his son (Jafar Kazemi’s son is residing in Ashraf City Iraq, the place of residence of PMOI members). They charged him with Moharebeh and then sentenced him to death. The sentence was endorsed in revision court. We wrote letters to everywhere and we referred to many places may be we could change the sentence but unfortunately in vein…
Now we are just asking human rights organizations outside Iran to do something. We can do nothing here. If some one can do something, if someone hears my voice help us to prevent the execution of his sentence.”

Execution decree of Jafar Kazemi political prisoner is endorsed

Tehran, Jan. 8, 2011
Students Committee in defense of Political Prisoners:
13:22 pm
Jafar Kazemi’s lawyer said that his decree of execution has been endorsed at branch 36 of Revision Court of Tehran Province judged by Hojat Al Islam Zargar and request for judiciary restitution in branch 31 of the country’s Supreme Court has been denied.
Mr. Kazemi, 46, is a lithographer of educational and Amir Kabir Universitiy’s books. He was arrested on September 18, 2009 at Haft-e-Tir Square and was taken to solitary cells of ward 209 at Evin Prison and then transferred to ward 350 after 74 days.
He was also political prisoner from 1981 to early 1991.
Roodabeh Akbari his wife has written a letter to UN Secretary General asking for help in stopping her husband’s execution decree.
Ms. Qhanavi said about the charges: “Jafar Kazemi is accused of ‘Moharebe’ for supporting PMOI though he hasn’t accepted the charge in any of his interrogations”.
She added: “as Moharebe has root in canon law the accusation of Moharebe is amongst those crimes that the lawmaker must prove that it has had that condition including the fact that there has been an armed act. Most of Shiite experts believe that Mohareb is the one who uses arm.
This wasn’t my client’s case. He just participated in gatherings after the election and may be has chanted some slogans but as a lawyer I believe that the accusation of ‘Moharebe’ is not his case”.
About the defense at court she said: “unfortunately neither the primary court nor the revision court didn’t pay any attention to our defense and approved that he is a Mohareb”.
As Mr. Kazemi’s lawyer says ‘his decree is in the hands of the Branch for Execution of Decrees and legally nothing can be done to save his life”.
