Father of Kurd death row political prisoner says son is innocent

Dec. 29, 2010
Simultaneous with the execution of two political prisoners in Evin Prison, the state-run Iran Daily announced the death sentence in public of two Kurd prisoners. Zaniar and Loqman Moradi are two suspects who were sentenced to death on charges of complicity in the assassination of the son of Marivan’s head of Friday Prayers and two other people last year. Zaniar Moradi’s father Eqbal Moradi, who is also one of the suspects in this case, announced in an interview that he was informed of his son’s death sentence through the media. Moradi also said that his son’s lawyer did not know about the death sentence either…
“My family said that his lawyer has said that my son never accepted his charges and based on this my son’s lawyer will appeal this initial sentence next Saturday”, Eqbal Moradi said…
“It has been years that I live in Iraq’s Kurdistan as a political activist and therefore it is natural that in the Islamic Republic’s opinion, in such cases, people like me would be constantly subjected to such baseless charges.
After my son’s confessions were broadcasted from television, the heads of security institutions called me several times asking me to cooperate with them for them to release my son. Now one has to ask that if I have been introduced as a suspect in this case, how is it that a suspect is given an offer to cooperate on security issues with them? They want to negotiate over my son who has nothing to do with my activities”…
Eqbal also denied that his son had links to the Komala Organization. “My son did not have any links at any time and under no circumstances with Komala or any other political group. He was under 16 years old when he was arrested. No political organization would accept a person in that age for its activities”.
“I request from all human rights organizations and the public conscience not to prevent the execution of my son on these baseless charges in any possible way. His mother and I have been forced to leave Iran because of our activities and cannot do anything for him. Our hope lies with the efforts of the human society and humanitarians in preventing this execution”, he concluded.

Ali Mohammad Dastqaib: no source of canon law approves of the current situation

Tehran, Dec.29, 2010
Ali Mohammad Dastqaib a member of Council of Experts pointed to kangaroo courts of Khamenei and said: “you find no righteous source of canon law who would say that one can make an accused to confess by force”.
He added: “both in the Council and elsewhere we have said and we say that no source of canon law approves of the current situation because it is against the Koran, profit’s traditions and the Constitution. When on Qods day or after Ashura they attack Ghoba Mosque, people there can defend themselves and this is legitimate. Which source of canon law would give this decree to leave the offenders and to arrest and put the defenders on trial? No source would sign such decree”.
