 Help Free Iranian Women's Rights Leaders: Campaigning for Equality is Not a Crime


On Sunday, March 4, Iranian police arrested and jailed 33 women gathered in front of the Islamic Revolutionary Court in Tehran.  The women were peacefully supporting five women scheduled to be tried for organizing a demonstration last year.  Eight of the women detained outside the court were released on Tuesday, March 6, but 25 women remain in Tehran's Evin Prison.

We are concerned that more arrests could take place on March 8, International Women's Day.

Authorities violently broke up a peaceful gathering in support of women's equality before Iranian law in June 2006, arresting dozens.  Five of those arrested are being prosecuted for exercising their basic rights to freedom of expression and assembly.

With your help, we can add to mounting international pressure on the Iranian government to release the 25 activists immediately and to stop arresting peaceful human rights defenders. 

Please take action to show your support for women's human rights advocates in Iran.

Help Free Iranian Women's Rights Leaders: Campaigning for Equality is not a Crime

Human Rights First is supporting the March 1, 2007 International Day for the Release of Mohamed Abbou. On this day, in Tunisia and all over the world, actions will be taken and activities will be organized to demand the immediate and unconditional release of Mohamed Abbou.

Mohamed Abbou's imprisonment is emblematic of the methods used by the government to silence human rights activists in Tunisia and to prevent them from carrying out their activities.

Mohamed Abbou is a lawyer who has devoted his legal practice to defending on a pro bono basis those who are being persecuted for peacefully expressing their opinions.  He was formerly the director of the Association of Young Lawyers of Tunisia and is a member of the International Association for the Support of Political Prisoners (AISPP) and the National Committee for Liberties in Tunisia (CNLT), an independent human rights organization whose activists are frequently harassed and threatened by the police and government officials.

After being sentenced to three and a half years in prison following an unfair trial in April 2005, Mohammed Abbou was imprisoned in Kef, a town that is more than 170 kilometers (100 miles) from his family home in Tunis. This is in itself a punitive measure that makes it difficult for his family to visit him. In addition, in Kef he is held in a cell with common criminals who continuously harass him, apparently at the prison authorities' instigation. According to family members who have visited him in prison, he has been kicked and punched by prison guards and denied medical attention and access to books. The prison authorities have disrupted visits by his family members, including his wife and young daughter.

On March 11, 2006, in response to the harsh treatment, harassment and his unfair imprisonment, Abbou went on hunger strike for several weeks, which led to a serious deterioration in his heath.

Mohamed Abbou's wife, Samia Abbou, has become increasingly outspoken in leading appeals for her husband's release and in publicly denouncing the harsh treatment he is enduring in prison. She regularly organizes, with the support of Tunisian human rights groups, protests outside the prison in Kef and recently went on hunger strike. As a result of her struggle, Ms. Abbou is persistently harassed by the security forces. For example, on December 7, 2006, Ms. Abbou and three prominent human rights activists who were accompanying her were violently assaulted by a group of men in plain clothes while the police looked on without intervening. On that day, Ms. Abbou and her companions, human rights activist Moncef Marzouki, journalist Slim Boukhdir, and human rights lawyer Samir Ben Amar, were on their way to visit Mohamed Abbou when a group of about forty men attacked them near Kef prison and brutally beat the four of them right in front of several police officers who remained impassive.

Since coming to power in a bloodless coup in 1987, President Zine El Abdine Ben Ali has failed to deliver on initial pledges to promote democracy and the rule of law. His rule has become increasingly authoritarian. No serious political opposition is permitted to form. The ruling party controls the parliament and the President himself routinely wins re-election by gaining in excess of 90% of the vote in rigged elections. The judiciary is manipulated by the executive branch and independent judges have been removed from the bench. The press and broadcast media are tightly controlled, and the authorities make vigorous efforts to restrict internet communications and limit access to websites with independent news about Tunisia.

Human rights advocates have been a particular target of repression, with individual activists targeted for prosecution on fabricated charges and subject to arbitrary travel restrictions, physical assault by state agents and defamation campaigns in the media.  Human rights organizations have also been restricted. Independent groups that are critical of the government's human rights practices, such as the CNLT and the Tunisian Center for Judicial Independence (CTIJ), have been refused legal recognition and their activities are habitually obstructed and restricted by the authorities. Even legally recognized groups, like the Tunisian League for Human Rights (LTDH), are also subject to severe judicial harassment and repeated interference in their activities including the blockage of foreign grants to the organization and the sabotage of its meetings.

Foreign human rights activists who visit Tunisia are also targeted by the security agents who habitually subject them to strong surveillance and follow them continually. On May 21, 2006, the Tunisian authorities expelled Yves Steiner, a member of the Swiss Section of Amnesty International, just a day after he criticized the government's human rights practices.

Mohamed Abbou's detention was carried out in a manner that violated procedural safeguards and Tunisia's obligations under international law. He was abducted from the street in Tunis on March 1, 2005. The next day he appeared before a judge on a warrant that was backdated to September 2004. As if to show contempt for procedure, the warrant was actually dated September 31, 2004, a date that does not exist on the calendar. Nonetheless, his detention was upheld by the judge.

His lawyers were not permitted to see him prior to his appearance before the judge, and police apparently assaulted lawyers who came to the court house to seek to defend Mr. Abbou.

In the week prior to the trial a second charge was added to the indictment, relating to a complaint that Mr. Abbou had assaulted another lawyer during an argument in 2002. Mr. Abbou was not given enough time to prepare a defense to this new charge, and the evidence against him was not examined by his lawyers. He and his defense team were not given an adequate opportunity to rebut the charges against him. The last-minute imposition of this second charge on the basis of an unsubstantiated allegation is a clear violation of Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which upholds the right to a fair trial. 

The original prosecution on the basis of his statements about torture in Tunisia is a violation of his right to freedom of expression, guaranteed by Article 19 of the ICCPR and by the U.N. Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, which reminds States of their obligations to ensure that human rights defenders have the basic rights and freedoms they require to exercise the right to promote and protect human rights.

In November 2005 the U.N. Working Group on Arbitrary Detention concluded that Mohammed Abbou has been subjected to arbitrary detention in violation of Tunisia's obligations as a State Party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Jan 14 :  FANTASTIC NEWS: NAZANIN EXONERATED BUT...

Nazanin Afshin-Jam and Mina Ahadi spoke with Nazanin Fatehi's lawyers today regarding her retrial that took place on January 10th 2007.

They have received verbal confirmation from the court that she will be exonerated from the charge of murder. The incident that took place in March 2005 has been recognized as an act of self-defense, however the court has ruled that disproportionate force was used by Nazanin while trying to defend herself and her 15-year old niece. Accordingly, they have asked Nazanin to pay “dieh” (blood money) to receive a pardon from the family of the deceased. Once this amount is paid, Nazanin can be released from prison.
                                                                                                                    
Shadi Sadr and Mr. Mostafaei, Nazanin Fatehi's laywers, are appealing this blood money because they believe that Nazanin is innocent for acting in self-defense and therefore she should not have to pay any money. Unfortunately, this appeal may take several months, so in the meantime arrangements may be made to have Nazanin released from prison by paying “bail” money into court.

Formal documentation should be available within days, including further details and specifics like the cost of bail and the cost of blood money

Jan 11 :  Iranin student's report of trial

Iranian Student Committee of Human Rights report of Nazanin Fatehi’s trial on January 10th 2007:
Translated by David Etebari from http://www.cyrusnews.com/news/fa/?mi=6=18764
********NOTE: This report has not yet been confirmed by Nazanin’s lawyers

What happened in court?

The court started at 12:30 pm with a 2-hour delay. Presiding over the trial were four Judges. The four witnesses present were the two boys who were initially with Nazanin and her niece on the day of the incident as well as the two attackers (friends of the man who is deceased). Both families were also present.

After district attorneys read the request for Nazanin Fatehi's death sentence to be commuted, the judges asked the four witnesses to proceed and explain the details of what occurred on that day.

During the hearing, the panel of judges seemed outraged by the conflicting testimonies of the four male witnesses.

Thereafter, Nazanin’s first attorney, Mr. Mostafaei proceeded with his defense:

1. He said that the incident occurred in the quiet side roads in the city of Karaj - a suburb of Iran’s capital Tehran - on a winter day at 2 pm. As such, he said it was an environment where such an occurrence could take place.

2. He said that Nazanin's niece was only 14-years-old at the time of the incident with a history of mental disorder. She had ran away from home in the past and therefore her 17-year-old aunt Nazanin felt responsible for the well being of her younger niece.

3. The defense went on to say that the conflicting testimony of the four male witnesses was proof of Nazanin's innocence.

4. The defence referred back to Nazanin's prior court testimony. He reminded the court that at the time of the incident the prime attacker who was later killed pulled Nazanin off of the motorcycle, pulled her head covering and started touching her breasts. Nazanin warned him that if he did not let her go, she would stab him with the knife that she pulled out but the attackers took Nazanin’s niece Somayeh and forcefully removed her head covering and jacket too. The defence said “any other girl faced with this situation would also have been frightened"

5. The defense stated that there was no evidence of anyone else being present in the vicinity. He said, "How was it expected of Nazanin to leave her niece, whose clothes were partially removed, alone at the scene with 5 men and seek police help?" He ended his defense and said: "If we start punishing those who bravely defend themselves, we weaken such spirit in the society"

II) Afterwards Nazanin's second attorney, Ms. Shadi Sadr started her defense, which seemed to have greatly influenced the audience.

In Nazanin’s previous hearing, the Judge had said that Nazanin could not have been defending her honour and chastity- as she so claimed- because medical reports showed that she was no longer a virgin. Ms. Sadr explained to the court that Nazanin had already been raped once at the age of 15 and the physical marks from this occurrence had also been verified by the court physicians. She said that Nazanin had filed this tragic experience with the police but it was totally disregarded. She said, "When 17 year-old Nazanin was faced with the same difficult situation, she refused to be another victim of rape nor could she allow her younger niece to experience the same horror". She said " If the judges visit Nazanin's home which is located in one the poorest neighborhoods of city of Karaj they would understand that everyday Nazanin is obliged to walk through bare and deserted lots to get home where at anytime she could face an attacker. Therefore, it is considered very logical that she would carry a knife for self defense, especially after her prior difficult life experiences."

The prosecutor in his cross-examination reminded the court that in the previous hearing the judges had determined that the murder was intentional because even if it were considered self-defence the degree was not proportional. He stated that the defense attorneys are making their arguments in reference to defense of

a) LIFE,

b)PROPERTY AND c)CHASTITY, but since the first two claims are not on file this only leaves c)self-defense of her chastity. He then went on to say: “How could a girl who goes to such a deserted location with two boys be so sensitive about her honor?"

The defence responded to the prosecutor’s comments, which was interrupted by shouting of the family of the deceased to the extent that they went to attack Nazanin's family and were forced out of court.

Regardless of the commotion, Nazanin's family seemed content with how the hearing went. The judges adjourned the court.

****Note: None of the above testimony has been confirmed by Nazanin’s lawyers. Although they are hopeful, they say to remain cautious until the final written verdict is announced. It is believed that this should be given sometime next week.

To:  The Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan,The United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, Louise Arbour,The Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, and The Head of the Judiciary of IRI Ayatollah Mahmoud Has

We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned for 18-year-old Nazanin who faces execution by the Islamic Republic of Iran.

On January 3, 2006, 18-year-old Nazanin was sentenced to death for murder by court in Iran after she reportedly admitted fatally stabbing one of three men who attempted to rape her and her 16-year-old niece in a park in Karaj (a suburb of Tehran) in March 2005. She was seventeen at the time. Her sentence is subject to review by the Court of Appeal, and if upheld, to confirmation by the Supreme Court.

According to reports in the Iranian newspaper E’temaad, Nazanin told the court that three men had approached her and her niece, forced them to the ground and attempted to rape them. Seeking to defend her niece and herself, Nazanin stabbed one man in the hand with a knife that she possessed. As the men continued their attack, she stabbed another of the men in the chest, which eventually caused his death. She reportedly told the court “I wanted to defend myself and my niece. I did not want to kill that boy. At the heat of the moment I did not know what to do because no one came to our help”. She was nevertheless sentenced to the maximum punishment possible under the law, death by hanging.

Urgent action is needed to help save a young life whose only crime was an attempt to defend herself. Nazanin and many like her are caught between two undesirable options. On one hand, Iranian Penal Code severely limits the possibility of using ‘self-defense’ as a legitimate defence to aggression. On the other hand, if Nazanin had allowed the rape to take place, she could still be imprisoned, flogged or stoned for having sex outside of marriage unless four male witnesses to the actual rape would testify on her behalf.

Moreover, Iran is a signatory to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and is therefore under obligation NOT to impose the death penalty on those under the age of 18. Nevertheless, Amnesty International has recorded 18 executions of child offenders in Iran since 1990. In 2005 alone, at least eight executions of child offenders were recorded. Nazanin was 17 years old at the time of commission of the offense and therefore Iran is in breach.

We urge that the death sentence imposed on Nazanin be commuted immediately;
We urge the authorities to carry out a thorough review of the case, in particular the limits of self-defense as detailed in the Iranian Penal Code;
We urge the authorities to ensure that the victim’s family is made aware of its right, under Islamic law, to request a pardon of the condemned;
We appeal to the Islamic Republic of Iran to honor its commitment to the ICCPR and ICC, to which they are a state party.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

About the Case

The injustice of this case propelled Nazanin Afshin-Jam to take immediate action and start a petition to help save the life of her namesake. The petition now has over 200 000 signatures from around the world.

Since initiating the Save Nazanin Campaign with Mina Ahadi- the Head of the International Committee Against Execution and Stoning- and through the help of other human rights groups and individuals, they have been able to engage the UN, Canadian Parliament, the EU, Amnesty International and others to pressure the Iranian Officials to spare the life of this child.

On June 1st 2006, the Head of Judiciary Ayatollah Shahroudi announced a stay of execution and the call for a complete new retrial. Nazanin Fatehi’s retrial will take place January 10th, 2007 (20th of Dey 1385 in the Iranian calendar).

In this new trial the Islamic Republic Court will either:

    a) spare the life of Nazanin and release her from prison or
    b) announce a prison sentence of x number of years or
    c) re-condemn Nazanin for execution or
    d) ask Nazanin to negotiate "Dieh" (Blood Money) with the family of the alleged rapist and have her released subject to her paying that amount.

In the meantime the Nazanin Fatehi Trust fund has been set up to help cover her legal fees and campaign costs. See Donations page.

The fate of Nazanin Fatehi is still up in the air, please continue to spread the word about her case and the plight of other women in similar circumstances such as Delareh Darabi, Kobra Rahmanpour, Ashraf Kalhori, Fatemeh Haghighat-Pajouh and Malak Ghorbani and continue to pressure the Iranian Government to free these women.

From her prison cell, Nazanin Fatehi wanted to thank everyone that has been working so tirelessly on her behalf and everyone who has signed the petition.

Thank you,

Nazanin Afshin-Jam & Team at www.HelpNazanin.com

Det mindst tænkelige flertal i Folketinget ...

Beslutningsforslaget vedtaget med 61 stemmer (V, DF og KF) mod 50 (S, SF, RV, EL, KRF og SIU).

Folketinget meddeler sit samtykke til, at danske militære styrker stilles til rådighed for en multinational indsats i Irak.

Dermed bærer Danmark et både politisk og moralsk medansvar for de katastrofale følger, krigen har fået.

Krigens følger er omfattende og veldokumenterede, så dette er blot et lille udpluk:

Dræbte irakere

Bush, Blair og Fogh vil helst ikke snakke om de irakiske ofre for krigen. Politikken er: “We don’t do body counts”, som den amerikanske general, Tommy Franks, sagde.
Derfor er de tilgængelige opgørelser foretaget af ikke-statslige organer med begrænsede ressourcer – og dermed større usikkerheds-margin. At antallet af ofre er endog meget omfattende er imidlertid uden for diskussion. Vi bringer her enkelte links:

• The Lancet, oktober 2006: 655.000 irakere døde som følge af krigen
  Rapporten bruger samme metode, som normalt anvendes til opgørelse af ofre for krig og naturkatastrofer andre steder i verden.

  Pr. 11. nov. 2006 er 3.082 koalitions-soldater døde, heraf 2.842 amerikanske, 121 britiske, 6 danske og 113 andre.
  Tallene omfatter hverken private "sikkerhedsfirmaer", privatiserede tidligere militære funktioner eller soldater på "greencard-aftaler" (soldater der loves amerikansk statsborgerskab, hvis de gennemfører og overlever deres kontraktperiode).

Livsvilkår for de afviste asylansøgere som ikke kan tvangshjemsendes

Asylansøgeres gennemsnitlige opholdstid i 2005 var 1000 dage, dvs omkring tre år (10). For mange af de mennesker som lever på de motivationsfremmende foranstaltninger er opholdstiden meget længere, nogle gange op til 8 år.

Under deres ophold i asylsystemet i Danmark flytter en asylfamilie mange gange. I en nylig rapport fra Socialforskningsinstituttet (SFI) om asylbørnenes vilkår fandt man, at de 20 undersøgte familier i gennemsnit var flyttet rundt mellem asylcentrene 6.3 gange (11).

Mange flytninger betyder bl.a. at børnene “har færre muligheder for at få varige venskaber med jævnaldrende børn og med andre voksne end deres forældre.” (11, s. 10). Det betyder igen at børnene er afhængige af deres forældre og søskende mht. at lære almindelige sociale regler og praksis.

Og dette er fatalt. For ventetiden ødelægger mange af forældrenes evne til at tage sig af deres børn.

Asylafviste bliver syge af ventetiden
Det er veldokumenteret, at lange opholdstider har betydet at familier, som var velfungerende da de ankom til Danmark, er blevet syge/brudt sammen under deres ophold i Danmark (10,11).

I SFI rapporten observerede man, at blandt 13 af 14 familier som havde boet på centre i mere end to år var der fysiske og psykiske lidelser hos forældre med brug af psykofarmaka og/eller smertestillende medicin (11).

At man derudover sætter de afviste asylansøgere som ikke vil rejse ‘frivilligt’ på motivationsfremmende foranstaltninger, pålægger disse familier yderligere stress (10).

Hvad laver de afviste asylansøgere?
De prøver at følge med i om der er noget nyt i forhold til deres sag. De melder sig hos politiet to gange ugentligt, hvor de skriver under på fortsat ikke at ville rejse frivilligt. Og så venter de.

For når man er afvist asylansøger må man ikke arbejde. Der er mange eksempler på unge mennesker over 16 år som intet laver – de har nemlig ikke mulighed for at uddanne sig og de må ikke komme i praktik. De går og spilder livet.

Og så følger man med i hvilken familie, der nu er blevet tvangshjemsendt på asylcenteret.

Tvangshjemsendelser
Løbende tvangshjemsender myndighederne afviste asylansøgerne. Nogle af sagerne kommer op i medierne som f.eks. moderen fra Bosnien med anoreksi, som blev tvangshjemsendt med sine to børn d. 26 okt og den 15-årige forældreløse dreng fra Sri Lanka, som er gået under jorden for at undgå tvangsudvisning.

Desuden har rigspolitiet siden slutningen af juli 2006 tvangshjemsendt en stor gruppe mennesker fra Kosovo, som havde været i Danmark fire, fem, seks år. Tvangs-hjemsendelser til Kosovo er nu mulige, da FN flygtningeorganisationen UNHCR i juni 2006 publicerede en statusrapport, hvori der står at visse befolkningsgrupper såvel som kronisk syge ikke længere behøver beskyttelse af det internationale samfund.

Det vi får fortalt fra beboerne i forbindelse med tvangshjemsendelser er, at typisk vækkes en familie af politiet tidligt om morgenen og får 15 minutter at pakke i. For nyligt er man begyndt at frihedsberøve et familiemedlem, for at sikre sig at familien ikke ‘går under jorden,’ indtil rejsepapirer er i orden.

Et eksempel på hvor meget systemet presser på mht tvangshjemsendelser er at en kørestolsbrugende 76-årige kvinde (Kosovo-albaner) på Avnstrup blev hentet af seks politibetjente i midten af september for at sættes i Sandholmlejrens fængsel, indtil hun kunne tvangshjemsendes. Hun kom hurtigt tilbage på Avnstrup og er nu blevet tvangshjemsendt med hendes søn og familie, som var tilbage på Avnstrup.

Der er flere forskellige medier som Politiken og DR plus mennesker og foreninger, som lige nu undersøger, hvordan det går de familier der er blevet tvangshjemsendt til Kosovo. Læs/lyt til bl.a.asyladvokat Hans Boserups beretning fra Kosovo og betragtninger om Danmarks asylpolitik og Mona Ljungberg fra Støttekredsen for Flygtninge under Fare nylige besøg i Kosovo.

 Om stening(billedet stammer fra Iran) :

Stening foretages (jævnfør islamisk lov) overfor kvinder, som er kendt skyldige i hor eller er blevet voldtaget.
Steningen foregår ved. at der graves et hul på 1meters dybde. Kvinden bindes og vikles ind i et hvidt klæde. Derefter anbringes hun i hullet. Jord skovles omkring ben og underliv, som stampes omkring hende, så hun under steningen ikke kan flygte. Dernæst sættes landsbyens mindste børn til at kaste små sten på hende. De store børn fortsætter med større sten, hvorefter de vokse kaster store sten, indtil hun ikke rører sig mere. Denne specielle metode er fastsat for at trække dødens indtræden ud i så lang tid som mulig. Stening som islamisk straf ifølge sharia går dels tilbage til hadith, dels til profeten Muhammeds egen praksis. Da hans tilhængere kom til ham med en kvinde, som var grebet på fersk gerning, spurgte de ham, hvad de skulle gøre, hvorefter han greb en sten og kastede den mod hende.
Stening er som en del af islamisk lov de seneste 10 år genindført i stadig flere muslimske lande herunder Pakistan, Sudan, Somalia, Saudi-arabien, Iran, Gaza og 12 nordlige delstater i Nigeria.

Stoning

December 20, 2006
Digt af :Tina Ehrami

There is no saviour

From the soil,

That swallowed you like quicksand.

Don't blame Mother Earth,

She damns humanity tonight.

.

There is no saviour

When your hands are tied,

And your body suffocates, cold and dark,

While your head is left out to bleed.

.

There is no saviour

From the sharp stones that hit your face

Until your crimson blood enrages the madman,

So he can empty his bucket of guilt over your virgin veil

.

There is no saviour

When the stars and the moon turn their backs

To hide away from this orgy of insanity

Don't blame the sky,

She cries for all you, your sisters and mothers.

.

There is no saviour

When your face is gone and your scream

Reaches only as far as the valley of the deaf

And the only thing that remains,

Are the seconds of your sobs echoing in our ears.  

PETITION - Help Put an End to Stoning in Iran

Dec 12, 2006

Dear friends,

As you are already aware, stoning is a particularly brutal form of execution. It is imposed as a punishment for "adultery" in Iran. Currently, up to nine women and two men in Iran are under sentence of execution by stoning, including one woman who was convicted of adultery and who claimed she was forced into prostitution. Various human rights organizations, human rights lawyers, activists, and concerned individuals have called on the Iranian government to abolish the barbaric and violent practice of stoning.

We hope that you, too, will join us in this important effort by urging the Iranian government to commute all sentences of death by stoning and ask Iranian officials to abolish the practice of stoning for ever.

Please remember that YOUR SIGNATURE DOES COUNT. Recent petitions, such as the one provided here, have effectively saved the lives of at least two women who were originally sentenced to death by stoning. Please do not turn your back to the innocent prisoners of Iran who are denied even the most basic rights of every human.

Should you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.


With kind regards,
