Justin Trudeau wants to prorogue Parliament to buy time before the election. Voters will punish him for it, says Prof James Allan, but it's a mistake he must be allowed to make without activist judges getting in the way.

Letter from death row political prisoners in Iran to EU and human rights organisations

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Monday August 27, 2007 17:27author by Mina Ahadi - International Committee Against Executionsauthor email Minaahadi at aol dot com Report this post to the editors

Here, Political Prisoners on death row in Iran ask for your help.Do not let them down. Full story at the link.

Work for the abolition of the death penalty and save the lives of those sentenced to death!”

For around two years now the Islamic Republic government has stepped up the execution and torturing of political prisoners and dissidents on the pretext of security. The largest numbers of executions have taken place in the provinces of Khuzestan, Kurdistan, Azarbaijan and Tehran. All those sentenced to death have been sentenced behind closed doors and without any regard for international conventions.

In Tehran, prisoners on death row, mostly political prisoners, have been transferred from around the country to Rejaee Shahr Prison. Two of those prisoners, Fazel Ramazani and Hajat Morad Mohammadi, both political dissidents and activists who had spent 9 years in prison, were executed along with prisoners which the government labels as “rogues and ruffians”.

We, the undersigned political prisoners, who have been sentenced to death, request the European Union, all international bodies and human rights organisations in democratic states to act urgently and appropriately for the abolition of the death penalty and the following up of our demands and those of other prisoners on death row.
