iranhr.net : Shirko Moarefi, a Kurdish political prisoner at imminent danger of execution

URGENT: Shirko Moarefi, a Kurdish political prisoner at imminent danger of execution

SOURCE: www.iranhr.net as of Friday 13 November 2009 ( http://www.iranhr.net/spip.php?article1423 )

Iran Human Rights, November 13: According to some sources in Iran, the Kurdish political prisoner Shirkooh (Bahman) Moarefi has been transferred to solitary confinement being prepared for execution. According to these sources Mr. Moarefi could be executed in the coming days.

Shirko Moarefi (30) is a Kurdish civil rights activist sentenced to death y the Iranian authorities convicted of “Moharebeh” (war against God).

Mr. Moarefi’s defence lawyer, Ahmad Saeed Sheikhi, told radio Zamaneh (an exile radio-website) that he has not been informed by the authorities that his client is going to be executed, but the ppossibility is there that Mr. Moaredi could be executed soon.

Iranian authorities have often executed prisoners without informing their lawyers.

Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, the spokesperson of Iran Human Rights said: “We are very concerned about Shirkoo Moarefi and 12 other Kurdish prisoners who are at imminent danger of execution.” He added:” We have also heard that many prisoners could be executed in near future in Tehran. UN must urgently send a special envoy to Iran to visit the Iranian prisons especially the prisons in Kurdistan and Tehran”.

Last Wednesday, Ehsan Fattahian, another Kurdish political prisoner was executed in Sanandaj (capital of the Iranian Kurdistan).

11AM Press Conference
(NY Avenue Presbyterian Church, 1313, NY Ave. NY, Washington DC)

MARCH TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

1:30PM Delivery of letter to Attorney General Eric Holder at the Justice Department

We demand that the Department of Justice conduct a civil rights investigation into the 28-year conspiracy — organized through police, prosecutorial, and judicial criminal misconduct — to railroad Mumia, an innocent man, to death. As US Attorney General, Eric Holder has the duty to monitor and remedy racist and corrupt practices in law enforcement and to safeguard our civil rights. He can challenge the Philly DA’s outrageous pursuit of Mumia’s execution and Governor Rendell’s promise to sign the death warrant. A civil rights investigation could lead to Mumia’s release!

Kurdish Political Prisoner Ehsan Fattahian

November 11th, 2009 · 1 further remark

URGENT: A KURDISH POLITICAL PRISONER IS SCHEDULED TO BE EXECUTED ON NOVEMBER 11 IN IRAN

Tuesday 10 November 2009

Iran Human Rights, November 9: According to sources in Iran, the Kurdish political prisoner Ehsan (Esmail) Fattahian (28) is scheduled to be executed on Wednesday November 11 in Sanandaj. According to these sources Ehsan Fattahian has started a “dry” hunger strike since Sunday November 8., in protest to the scheduled execution.

Ehsan Fattahian is convicted of “moharebeh” (at war with God) and connection with a Kurdish opposition group.

According to a statement by Amnesty International, Ehsan (Esma’il) Fattahian’s lawyer has been summoned to attend his execution on 11 November at the prison in the city of Sanandaj, the provincial capital of Kordestan. Ehsan Fattahian was detained some time between April and August 2008. Reports suggest that he may have been tortured in detention. Branch 1 of the Revolutionary Court in Sanandaj sentenced him to 10 years’ imprisonment to be served in exile, after a trial in which he was denied access to a lawyer. Both Ehsan Fattahian and the prosecutor appealed against this verdict, and in January 2009 Branch 4 of the Kordestan Appeal Court overturned the initial verdict. Instead he was sentenced to death for “enmity against God” in connection with his membership of an illegal armed opposition group – believed to be the the Kurdistan Independent Life Party (PJAK. This new sentence is believed to have been upheld by the Supreme Court.

Accordign to Amnesty International’s statement two other Iranian Kurdish men Habibollah Latifi, arrested in October 2007, and Sherko Moarefi, detained in October 2008, are also feared to be at imminent risk of execution, possibly in reprisal for a spate of assassinations and attempted assassinations of officials which took place in September.

Iran Human Rights urges UN, EU ad the international community to put pressure on the Iranian authorities in order to halt Ehsan’s execution.

a poem for Neda , by Davoud Bahrami

June 25th, 2009 · No further remarks

I couldn’t fall asleep last night
the drunken laughter of Khomeini
Deep down
From his sticky tomb
Was too loud

Neda,
When your blood
Shed the love worshiping ground of Iran
Still, I thought he was dead

The blush burst of the sun
On the impatient sky
At dawn, suddenly
Reminded me
Of his raised long cracked glass
Overfilled with the blood of Iranian youth
Commemorating Mohammad’s invasion
1,400 past years
And his grim smile toasting
At each cry of Allah-o Akbar

It is now another lovely day
And you are absent at your philosophy class
I wonder if it had made any difference
If you’d double majored in history
Would you had seen the innumerous Neda’s blood
Dripping from his fangs?

Davoud Bahrami
