Your Excellency,Kofi Annan:

Regarding the gross violation of human rights and abuse of political prisoners in Iran, I beg to inform you


1.6 political prisoners have been on hunger strike since JAN/24/05.Their only demand is to be separated from murderess and drug smugglers in Rajaee prison in Karj and their return to political prisoners section in Evin prison. They demand their captors define the "political Crime" and respect separation of criminal and political prisoners. The lives of ( Farzad Hamidi...) are in danger, They have asked me to raise their voice for you and the world.


2.Abbas Khorsandi is a political activist who suffers from hart conditions, He has been arrested since JAN/ 28/05 for peaceful and legal activities. He has been blind folded and kept in solitary confinement in 209 prison. He has contacted his family once for only 2 minutes during his arrest and had complained about mid nights interrogations

3.Heshmat Tabarzadi is a journalist and a brave political activist who had raised his voice against the brutality of Islamic Republic and violation of human rights in Iran for years. He has been condemned for his non violent struggle to 14 years in prison by Revolutionary court section 26.


4.I have been a spokesman for United Student Front(Jebhe motahed danesh jooee) and in charge of a student committee to defend political prisoners. I have been arrested and jailed many times and I was in solitary confinement for year and half for my activities. I was also an editor of a weekly magazine "Jame" which has been confined by government because the second page was about human rights and regime could not tolerate that. The infamous Revolutionary court section 26 has sentenced me for 7 years and I have been prohibited from social rights for 5 years.
I demand from you and all the world conusees to pay attention to the human rights violation. Political prisoners violation and illegal arrests and imprisonment in Iran. Right now there are many prisoners like (Akbar Ganji - Naser zarafshan - Heshmat tabarzadi - Ahmad batebbi - Manochehr mohammadi - Mehrdad heydar pour - Bina darab zand - Farzad hamidi - Arjang davoodi - Mehrdad lohrasbi - Abbas deldar - Hojat bakhtiari - Saeed masori - Hojat zamaníµ‚í½ Arash sigarchi - Mojtaba saminejad - Mojtaba lotfi - Majid abdollah zadeh -ahmad reza shiri - Ali afshari - Abdollah momeni - Amir heshmat saran - Behnam aminíµ‚í½ kambiz deljavan - Golam reza amaaníµ‚í½ ...) and some have been released with heavy bails but they might be returned to prison any minute like (Behrooz Javid Tehrani - shiva nazar ahari - haniye nemati - saeed kalanaki - kianosh sanjari ...) . Unfortunately regime intimidates the political prisoners by heavy sentencing, transferring them to prisons that criminals are kept and we are anticipating the increase of unjust pressure on political activists and prisoners. Therefor we demand justice for political prisoners and Iranian people.
