NCRI calls on Italian PM to cancel trip to Iran - The National

NCRI calls on Italian PM to cancel trip to Iran - The National

The Iranian Resistance has called on Italy's prime minister to cancel a visit to Iran next week amid fears it will be used by Tehran to legitimize human rights violations in the country, Scotland's The National reported on Friday.

"Iran has an economy worth $400 billion (£283.8bn) and European countries are keen to re-establish trade ties," the paper wrote.

"However, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) said more than 2,300 people had been executed there during [Hassan] Rouhani’s regime – according to a UN special rapporteur, the highest figure over the past 25 years."

"The NCRI said the Tehran regime 'manipulates such visits against the highest interests of the people of Iran and against peace and tranquillity in the region'."

Shahin Gobadi of the NCRI told The National: “The Iranian regime is very egregious and only feeds Tehran’s propaganda. It has no interest in improving Iran’s conduct at home or abroad."

“Actions talk louder than words and under Rouhani the human rights situation is becoming much worse. Just yesterday a report by Amnesty International put Iran far ahead of any other country in terms of executions in 2015.”

“Look at Iran’s conduct regarding missile tests, or for sending weapons abroad. In recent weeks three ships containing Iranian weapons destined for Yemen’s Houthis were intercepted by the French, Australian and American naval forces in international waters.”

Mr. Gobadi said it was unlikely that Italy would condemn human rights issues in a meeting with Rouhani, in which case the premier’s visit should be called off, the report said. If it went ahead as planned, it would send a message to Iranians that such behaviour was acceptable.

IRAN:Excerpts of Amnesty International's 2015/2016 report on violation of human rights in Iran:

Womenremained subject to discrimination under the law, particularly criminal and family law, and in practice.

Women and girls also faced new challenges to their sexual and reproductive health and rights. Parliament debated several draft laws that would further erode women’s rights, including the Bill to Increase Fertility Rates.

Seeing this photo burns me down to my bones; Reyhaneh Jabbari’s mother

Reyhaneh Jabbari

In a letter posted on her facebook page, Mrs. Sholeh Pakravan, Reyhaneh Jabbari’s mother writes: 'It burns me deep down just seeing the pictures of the so called P5+1 sitting with the Iranian murderers of our loved ones. I don’t want to believe that they are just after those dirty oil dollars. I don’t want to think that it is my Reyhaneh who dances at the end of the rope while hanging from the noose, but those greedy eyes can only see the number on the dollars.'
Reyhaneh Jabbari, a 26-year old university student and decorator was hanged on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014 in Gohardasht prison by the inhumane regime of mullahs in Iran. She was accused of defending her honor stabbing a man who had attacked her during a sexual abuse when she was only 19 years old. She spent 7 years behind bars being harassed and tortured and beaten during this time and when she didn’t submit to her prison guards, met the ultimate punishment.
Amnesty International called it 'another bloody stain on the mullshs’ human rights record.'
Responding to the West’s attempts to open business with the dictators in Iran, Ms. Sholeh writes: 'Who could they close their eyes to so many being hanged in Iran. How can they know the number of executions, but turn their heads the other way?'
According to Amnesty’s records, 3 people are executed (hanged) every single day in Iran. 'How can they ignore their conscious, when they see the tears of Sattar’s mother, or Saied’s mother who has been looking for her loved one in dozens of prisons for months and months hopping to find her son? Or the tearful eyes of Neda’s mother whose daughter was shot by a government paramilitary force whose identity was later revealed by the people, but never was caught? And how can they ignore seeing the faces of dozens of young women splashed with acid by the government backed militants while not even one single suspect has been apprehended?'
She concludes her open letter to the world by saying that she is waiting for the day that world come to its senses and value the life of the people more than the value of dollar bill, the day that the most precious thing on earth would be human life and human dignity and not money…

Iran regime to hang man for crime allegedly committed aged 15

The regime in Iran plans to execute over the weekend an Iranian who was 15 years old when he was alleged to have committed a crime, Amnesty International has said.

Amnesty International 

"Juvenile offender Salar Shadizadi is at imminent risk of execution for a murder allegedly committed when he was 15 years old. He is scheduled to be executed on 1 August. Salar Shadizadi was arrested in February 2007 on a charge of murdering a friend. He was sentenced to death in December that year, under the Islamic principle of qesas (retribution-in-kind), by Branch 11 of the Criminal Court of Appeal in the northern province of Gilan. His sentence was upheld three months later, by Branch 37 of the Supreme Court," Amnesty International said in an Urgent Action appeal on Monday.

  Iran -  Hanging  youth

Two more prisoners were hanged Monday morning in Iran’s notorious Qezelhesar Prison in the city of Karaj, west of Tehran.

The two prisoners were identified as Saeid Ganji and Firouz Nouri-Majd.

Ganji, Nouri-Majd and at least one other prisoner in Qezelhesar Prison were transferred to solitary confinement on Sunday in preparation for their execution, and their relatives were contacted to meet with them in the prison for a final time.

There are reports that the number of prisoners awaiting imminent execution in the jail could in fact be higher.

Another 10 death-row prisoners in Iran have been transferred to solitary confinement in preparation for their execution.

Nine prisoners, being held in a detention center in Karaj, west of Tehran, were transferred to solitary confinement on Saturday in preparation for their execution. On Sunday, their relatives were told to come to the jail to meet for a final time with their loved ones.

The nine prisoners were identified as Omid Mohammadi-Dara, Mostafa Ghafarzadeh, Omidreza Karampour, Shahriar Hassan-Zadeh, Hossein Afghan, Yareh Hassan-Zadeh, Sasan Salari, Meysam Hosseini-Nejad, and Amanollah Baluch-Zehi.

At least 18 prisoners have been executed in Iran in the past six days.

Faced with escalating popular discontent and unable to respond to the rightful demands of the majority of the Iranian people who are living under the poverty line, the religious fascism ruling Iran - dubbed the ‘godfather of ISIS’ by the Iranian people - is ramping up suppression.

On Thursday, Amnesty International said that the Iranian regime has executed an astonishing 694 people between January 1 and July 15, 2015.

“Iran’s staggering execution toll for the first half of this year paints a sinister picture of the machinery of state carrying out premeditated judicially-sanctioned killing on a mass scale,” it said.

Since mullah Hasssan Rouhani took office as President, more than 1,800 prisoners have been executed in Iran.
