To: His Excellency, Ban Ki-moon
Secretary General of the United Nations
Mr. Secretary General,
As
you are no doubt aware the people of Iran have been engaged in a thirty
year struggle for their basic human rights, which have been further
reduced during the last eighteen months by the Islamic republic. Since
the crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations sparked by the June 12
Coup d’état ,Ahmadinejad’s illegitimate government has accelerated the
already unreasonable rate of executions in Iran.
The
sudden execution of two political prisoners, Ali Saremi and Alireza
Siadat and the subsequent execution of Fasih Yasamani on January 6th of
this year, heightens the fears of start of another mass murder of
prisoners of conscience similar to the events of 1988.
Prisoners
of conscience are now more than ever in danger of sudden execution, as
lawyers in Iran are also under attack for defending their clients. Many
lawyers are also imprisoned or have been put under caution for
defending their clients.
Thus, the courts issue verdicts
without allowing proper representation for the prisoners and often
condemn them to death based on confessions obtained under torture. As
such, the sentences handed down by such methods and without proper
representation are not only null and void by international legal
standards but even by the very legal system of the Islamic Republic.
Many
a brave men and women are now suffering unbearable torment and facing
only unjust death at the hands of this lawless government. We ask you to
pay special attention to the case of prisoners of conscience in Iran
and take every possible action to protect their lives.
Following is the names of the prisoners of conscience condemned to death:
