THE HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS ENDEAVOR
TO PREVENT THE EXECUTION OF THE ARABS FROM AHVAZ
The Human Rights Organizations have
called for the help of the Iranian people and the Iranian
authorities about the eight individuals who have Ahvaz Arab
origins.
In the call to suspend the verdict about
the individuals who have Arabian origins and named as Faleh
Abdollah El Mansuri (age 60), Abdul Resul Ali Mezraa (56),
Said Ude Saki (35), Ahmad Mermezi (35), Zamil Bavi (29),
Abdul Hussein Haribi (34), Hossein Esakire (33) and Abdul
Reza Senevati (34), it is declared that the Iranian people
should write letters to various authorities, especially to
the Religious Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei , the head of
Iranian Judiciary Branch Ayatollah Khashimi Shahroudi,
United Nations High Commissioner Louis Arbour and European
Union Foreign Relations and Security High Representative
Javier Solana, to ask for the discharging of the prisoners.
These eight individuals from Ahvaz who
were charged with capital punishment, were tried for the
crimes as “declaring war against Allah”, “trying to disturb
the order and the security of the country” and “giving
Sunnite names to their children (!)”. These crimes require
capital punishment in Iran.
Journalist Emadaddin Baghi, who is the
head of the Committee for the Rights of the Political
Prisoners and who was arrested last month, made individual
statements on this issue in which he underlined the fact
that the accusations against prisoners were brought by the
help of the State itself”. The experts call attention to
this statement and point out that the extremist conservative
government has accelerated its efforts in order to punish
the significant names of the reformist movement as well as
the ethnic community of the country with funny
justifications and endeavored to exclude the Iranian people
from the political activities by opening arbitrary
investigations.
