Recently, the “Janbakhtegan and Sarbazan Organization” became aware that Mr. Ebrahim YEZDI, born 1931, is leaving Iran, and on his way to United States of America. The “Janbakhtegan and Sarbazan Organization” is looking forward for arrival of Mr. Ebrahim YEZDI on US soil, and making request to President of United States of America, as well as, law enforcers to apprehend Mr. YEZDI upon his arrival on US, Canada and European soil forthwith.

Mr. YEZDI has a long history of violating universal declaration of human rights, and the “Janbakhtegan and Sarbazan Organization” would like to prosecute Mr. YEZDI for below violation of human rights in Iran which is going back to 1979.

When Mr. YAZDI opened fired at Honorable General RAHIMI, Mr. YAZDI made sure that Honorable General was still alive, and took a knife, and severed his right arm in order to torture and to inflict further pain on him. 8. There are witnesses that they will testify against Mr. YEZDI. Mr. YEZDI violated below universal declaration of human rights. Article 3.

Article 11. (1) Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence. (2) No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a penal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time the penal offence was committed. There is a request to public to support this petition and putting public pressure on US President George BUSH, as well as, law enforcers to execute the law, and bring Mr. YEZDI before court for crimes that he committed back in 1979. Today, Mr. YEZDI’s victim cannot be here to defend themselves against his brutality, but justice can be serving when he will be found guilty for his crime, and sorrowing family will have disclosure in their life that Mr. YEZDI was not allowed to walk away from his crime. The “Janbakhtegan and Sarbazan Organization” acted in good faith at all time. Thank you, Kind regards Signed Shirin NESHAT

Please note Mohammad Mousavi (#13 on petition) was executed on April 22, 2007. Also Saeed Kamberzaii (17) was executed on May 28, 2007. Since the start of petition , Stop Child Executions Campaign has recorded more children facing executions in Iran.

For an updated list (currently 74 ) please visit: http://www.stopchildexecutions.com/the_row.aspx or http://scenews.blog.com/1931411/

To: Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and Head of the Judiciary of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi

PERSIAN TRANSLATION: www.stopchildexecutions.com MORE INFORMATION: http://www.stopchildexecutions.com/

We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about the continuous practice of capital punishment for alleged offences committed by Iranian youth under the age of 18. Article 6.5 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) declares: “Sentence of death shall not be imposed for crimes committed by persons below eighteen years of age”. Article 37(a) of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) provides that: “Neither capital punishment nor life imprisonment without possibility of release shall be imposed for offences committed by persons below eighteen years of age”. As a signatory state, the Iranian government is under international obligation to comply with both articles. However, Amnesty International has documented 21 executions of child offenders in Iran since 1990. In many cases, these minors have been imprisoned until the age of 18 and then executed. In January 2005, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, which monitors states' compliance with the CRC, urged Iran to immediately stay all executions of child offenders and to abolish the use of the death penalty in such cases. In the summer of 2006, the Iranian Parliament reportedly passed a bill establishing special courts for children and adolescents. However, it has not yet been approved by the Council of Guardians, which supervises Iran's legislation to ensure conformity with Islamic principles. During the past four years, the Iranian authorities have reportedly been considering legislation to ban the death penalty for child offenders. Recent comments by a judiciary spokesperson indicates that the proposed law would only prohibit the death penalty for certain crimes, and not all crimes committed by children. In spite of these efforts, the number of child offenders executed in Iran has risen during the past two years. As of March 2007 at least 25 child offenders remain on death row in Iran.

Their names and ages (where known) at the times of their alleged crimes are as follows: 1. Delara Darabi, 17 2. Beniamin Rasouli, 17 3. Hossein Toranj, 17 4. Hossein Haghi, 17 5. Morteza Feizi, 16 6. Sa'eed Jazee, 17 7. Ali Mahin Torabi, 16 8. Milad Bakhtiari, 16 9. Farshad Sa'eedi, 17 10. Hossein Gharabaghloo, 16 11. Shahram Pourmansouri, 17 12. Hedayat Niroumand, 15 13. Mohammad Mousavi, 14. Mostafa, 16 15. Mahmoud, 17 16. Hamid, 17 17. Sajjad, 17 18. Farzad, 15 19. Asghar, 16 20. Iman, 17 21. Ne'mat, 15 22. Hamzeh S, 17 23. Saber 24. Reza Alinejad 17 25. Sina Paymand 17 We the undersigned, call on the Iranian authorities to: - Provide a complete list of all individuals under the age of 18 who are sentenced to death. - Immediately halt executions and prevent any further application of such penalties against child offenders. - Take immediate measures to permanently abolish the death penalty for all child offenders in accordance with Iran's obligations as a state party to the ICCPR and the CRC. We the undersigned, urge The United Nations, The United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights and The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child to: - Demand that the Iranian government immediately comply with its international obligations as defined by ICCPR and CRC.

Support Iran's Jailed and Tortured Students!
February 06, 2008 marxist.com Militaant

Behind a cynical and bogus campaign for ‘national unity’ in the face of pressure from the United Sates, the Iranian regime has raised the level of repression against many sections of society. Whether it is the bus drivers, teachers, sugar mill workers, labour activists, women, journalists, or anyone who voices the slightest criticism against the policies of the most rotten and reactionary dictatorship of the twenty-first century, they are subjected to the most brutal and vicious forms of physical and psychological torture in its jails.During the past few months the most consistent resistance to this regime has come from various student groups. The regime’s attacks against this movement have resulted in at least one death in custody, at least three confirmed cases of severe physical torture, and general abuse and lack of contact with families.The main event that triggered such a response from the regime was a gathering at Tehran University on 4 December in commemoration of Students’ Day. Around 500 students and left-wing activists took part in the event. Initially 26 people, mainly from Tehran University’s Radical Left group, were arrested but since then over a dozen other students from various universities have been arrested. Although a few have now been released on bail the majority remain in prison and their incarceration is dampening the morale of all movements in society.To show solidarity with the imprisoned students a number of Iranian opposition groups are organising pickets outside the Iranian regime’s diplomatic missions on Saturday 16 February 2008, from 12-2pm. We urge all student activists, trade unionists, socialists and defenders of human rights to support this united move of the opposition in highlighting the plight of the students still in jail.A victory for the students can open the way for more victories by workers, women and other oppressed and exploited sections of society. Join us on 16 February in support of the students. For more information on the picket in your city, or on how you can become involved, contact militantmag@gmail.com or check our English language blog.On 16 February our main slogan will be: Free all jailed students now!

To: Prince Reza Pahlavi

TO: Prince Reza Pahlavi We the undersigned, people of Iran and Iran lovers, would like to formally request you to rise to the challenge and take up the leadership of the people of Iran's movement for setting up a secular and democratic regime and to save our beloved homeland from further destruction and point of no return from the abyss that is awaiting her. In most of your speeches and in your writings you have repeatedly mentioned that your ultimate goal is to see a democratic Iran, the country of your esteemed father and grandfather. Iran is blessed with great many tribes, languages, colours and political ideologies. However who can deny that our country is now drowning in poverty, drugs, prostitution, religious dictatorship, bankruptcy, severe social injustice and international isolation. There is also a grave danger of Iran being attacked militarily by outside forces and / or being split up into several smaller nations. It is in such dark days, that all Iran lovers must accept the responsibilities handed over to them by their forefathers and rise to the occasion to free their country. Some of your supporters, and indeed many others may not be keen on parliamentary monarchy but believe in your sense of justice and democracy. Iranians have waited long enough for you to rise and lead them back to freedom, democracy and prosperity. What ever the reasons may be for your reluctance to take the leadership role to unite the opposition, we simply urge you to please reconsider because in light of the dangers that are facing Iran today, we need you to lead the way and stand as the unifying force for the opposition. For the vast majority of the people the current situation in Iran is intolerable. Before Iran is attacked and pushed back into the dark ages or fragmented into different states we request you, not as the leader of the monarchists or Shah of Iran but as a liberal thinker Iranian and one who is known and respected by many countries in the world to make a declaration and call all forces interested in a free, secular and democratic Iran to unite under one flag and make a push to free our beloved country.

Long Live Iran

شاهزاده رضا پهلوی : ما امضا کنندگان نامه زیر که از میان ملت میهن دوست ایران برخاسته ایم ، رسما از شما درخواست کوشش هر چه بیشتر در پذیرش رهبری ملت ایران، برای رهایی از چالشی که در پیش رویشان قرار گرفته است می کنیم. رسالت بزرگ شما رهبری و هدایت ملت ایران بسوی مردم سالاری و جدائی دین از سیاست است. رسالتی که میهن را از تخریب و ویرانی بیشتر نجات داده و از گذار به نقطه غیر قابل بازگشت بسوی پرتگاهی که در پیش روی ملت ایران است، مصون دارد. جنابعالی بارها در سخنرانی ها و نوشته ها یتان فرموده اید که هدف اصلی شما رساندن ایران به آزادی، مردم سالاری و ادای دین به میهنی است که آب و خاک پیش¬ کسوتان و خاندانتان بشمار می آید. از ویژه گیهای میهن ما ، برخورداری از گوناگونی فرهنگی و نژادی ، گفتاری و آرمان های سیاسی است. اگرچه امروز بر هیچ کس پوشیده نیست که کشور ما در دام منجلاب فقر و فساد ، اعتیاد ، روسپی گری ، دیکتاتوری مذهبی ، بی عدالتی اجتماعی و انزوای جهانی گرفتار آمده است. بدیهی است در چنین مقطع شومی که کشور ما درخطر یورش بیگانه گان و تجزیه طلبان قرار گرفته ، وظیفه هر ایران دوستی است تا رسالتی را که نیاکانش به او واگذار کرده اند را ارج نهاده و با تدبیر و تلاش در این راه مهم گام بردارد تا میهن خویش را از خطر بزرگی که گریبان گیرش شده است، برهاند. شاید برخی از هواخواهان و دوست داران شما ، اعتقادی به نظام پادشاهی و یا مشروطه نداشته باشند. اما ، باوری عمیق به هدف شما جهت سوق دادن ایران به سوی آزادی، مردم سالاری ، رفاه و عدالت اجتماعی دارند. ایرانیان به اندازه کافی صبر کرده اند و در این زمان وظیفه تاریخی جنابعالی است که آنان را بسوی آزادی، مردم سالاری و رفاه اجتماعی هدایت نمائید. هردلیلی که باعث خود داری شما از پذیرش هدایت مردم جهت یکپارچگی در راه آزادی و رهائی ایران شده است ، ما خواستار بازنگری شما در تصمیم خود می باشیم . با در نظر گرفتن خطرات بزرگی که گریبان گیر میهن ماست ، ملت ایران به حضور شما به عنوان راهنما و عامل یکپارچگی اقشار مردم نیازمند است . برای بیشتر مردم ایران ادامه شرایط و وضیعت کنونی تحمل ناپذیر است ، بیش از این که میهن مان مورد یورش بیگانه گان و یا تجزیه گرایان قرار گیرد و یا سیر قهقرائی را به سوی دوران تاریکی بپماید ، از شما نه به عنوان یک پادشاه و رهبر فراکسیون پادشاهی ، بلکه به عنوان یک ایرانی آزاده و روشنفکر و فردی که مورد احترام سیاستمداران ملل دنیاست ، درخواست می کنیم فراخوانی به تمامی ایرانیان آزاده ، سکولار و مردم سالار ارائه نمائید ، تا همه آنان زیر یک پرچم گرد آمده و کشور عزیزمان را به آزادی برسانند.

Although we belong to different organizations and political believes however we all are against capital punishment. By signing this petition we are joining our voice together and crying out:No to Execution, Yes to Life!
To join the movement against capital punishment, you can go to our web site, www.channnelonetv.com, and by filing out our petition you can add your name to the movement “No to Execution, Yes to Life”.
