(May 9, 2010) Today's sudden execution of five Iranian political prisoners seems a policy of government to speak to the politically motivated killings leaves in order to strengthen their position towards the opposition through terror and intimidation. This left the organization International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran announce (ICHRI).
ICHRI condemned the execution of five political prisoners, among them Farzad Kamangar, a 34 years teachers and social workers, of the "armed warfare against God" (moharebeh) accused and convicted in February 2008 after a seven-minute process, condemned to death, were placed in the "no evidence". The other four are executed Shirin Alam Holi, Ali Heidarian, Farhad Vakili and Mehdi Eslamian.
"Kamangar's arrest was arbitrary. He should be killed in a staged process, without the possibility of defending themselves, "said spokesman Aaron Rhodes ICHRI.
"These secret executions are in fact nothing more than state sanctioned murders and prove once more the blatant contempt of the Islamic Republic further international human rights standards, "said Rhodes. Kamangar's lawyer Khalil
Bahramian said ICHRI over that he was in shock. The judicial authorities had assured him and Kamangar, that the charges against his client had been found to be groundless, Kamangar no longer threatened with execution. The contradiction between the assurances of the authorities, Kamangar was innocent, and his sudden execution Bahramian commented by saying, "I do not know what forces are behind these killings, which are capable of the rules and regulations of the judiciary to completely ignore . let '
"I still believe that this is a bad nightmare and I wake up and Farzad alive. It simply makes no sense, "he said. Kamangar's family said media should also, they had received similar assurances, and no one had informed them before or during the execution of the execution.
Shirin Alam Holi, a 28 year old Kurd, was also executed today. In several letters she had written from Evin prison, she had her alleged terrorism charges dismissed and said they had been tortured in order to put such false confessions in front of television cameras, while they had refused.
Bahramian, Alam also took Holi, said he had used in a letter to Ayatollah Khamenei for a review of their case by independent judges.
At least sixteen Kurdish political prisoners and eleven participants in the protests after the election at risk of similar unannounced and sudden executions.
ICHRI and other human rights organizations, teachers and workers rights groups have argued strongly for Kamangar life. In a letter dated 31 July 2008, ICHRI called on the former judiciary chief Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi to reduce the sentence, and a number of major legal irregularities to have violations of the prescribed procedure and investigate serious human rights violations to which it had come at Kamangar arrest, detention and his trial.
Kamangar was after his arrest in July 2006, seven months imprisoned without contact with the outside world. There is strong evidence that he was tortured.
As his lawyer said, found themselves either in the interrogation records, still in his court file, nor in the presentations of the prosecutors or the court order evidence that would have based the charges of Moharebeh.
Kamangar process took longer than seven minutes, with three minutes were taken from the reading of the indictment claim. Neither himself nor his lawyer could Kamangar during the hearing to speak.
