The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran called on the Iranian Parliament and the Judiciary to immediately institute a moratorium on executions and to move swiftly to abolish the death penalty, in the face of skyrocketing executions following unfair trials and opaque judicial proceedings.
Since the beginning of the New Year, Iran has hanged 47 prisoners, or an average of about one person every eight hours. Iran executes more people per capita than any other country, and in absolute numbers, is second only to China.
On Saturday, 15 January 2011, Iran hanged a Kurdish prisoner some Iranian websites have identified as Hossein Khazri, a Kurdish political prisoner on the death row. A local official in the province of Western Azerbaijan told media that “a member of the Pejak (an armed Kurdish guerilla group)” was hanged in Urumiye prison on Saturday morning. He did not name the executed prisoner.
Khazri’s brother told the Campaign that the authorities have not provided any information to the family about the execution of his brother. Hossein Khazri had denied charges against him and said he was severely tortured.
“The Iranian Judiciary is on an execution binge orchestrated by the intelligence and security agencies,” stated Aaron Rhodes, a spokesperson for the Campaign.
“The execution of Kurdish activists, without fair trials and following torture, increasingly appears as a systematic, politically motivated process,” he said.
In addition to the execution of Khazri, Iranian media have reported a total of 46 executions in 2011: seven in Kermanshah on 1 January, sixteen in Ahwaz on 5 January, one in Asfaryan on 8 January, eight in Qom on 9 January, seven in Tehran on 12 January, five in Khorramabad on 13 January, two in Boroujerd on 14 January.
Khazri, who is around 29 years old, was convicted of being Mohareb, “an enemy of God,” on 11 July 2009, on the basis that he “endangered state security.” He reported in a letter to international organizations that he had been tortured while in prisons run by the Intelligence Ministry and the Revolutionary Guards, but according to Amnesty International, his request for an investigation was denied. He had refused to confess to committing any of the crimes for which he was convicted.
Another Kurdish activist, Habibollah Latifi, was about to be hung on 26 December 2010, but the execution was halted. The Campaign considers him still at grave risk.
On 9 May 2010, Kurdish activists Farzad Kamangar and Shirin Alam Holi were hung.
At least 14 other Kurdish prisoners are in danger of execution: Zeinab Jalilian, Shirkoo Moarefi, Rostam Arkia, Mostafa Salimi, Anvar Rostami, Rashid Akhkandi, Mohammad Amin Agooshi, Ahmad Pooladkhani, Seyed Sami Husseini, Seyed Jamal Mohammadi, Hasan Talei, Iraj Mohammadi, Mohammad Amin Abdollahi and Ghader Mohammadzadeh.
According to information received by and reported by the Campaign, the number of executions in Iran is apparently even higher than previously reported. Multiple and reliable reports indicate that secret, mass executions of more than a hundred have taken place there.
“When executions became the method of choice to solve political and practical problems, human life is being tragically devalued in Iran,” Rhodes said.
The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran called upon Iran to institute an immediate moratorium on executions and an independent review of all pending death penalty cases, including those of juvenile offenders who have allegedly committed crimes under the age of 18, and to take steps toward the abolition of the death penalty.

by norooz on Sat Jan 22, 2011 08:50 PM PSTI can post thousands of names and pictures of MEK members who were executed by IRI. I am not arguing the fact that IRI unjustly has killed many, but MEK and separatist Kurds also did the same. When the country was invaded, they sided and helped the foreign enemy and fought and killed Iranian soldiers. There is a difference between a political activist and a separatist/terrorist. Unfortunately, just like you, Houshang and these groups, IRI doesn't know the difference either and treats them all the same.
Now, if you got something that makes sense I'll be happy to listen, Otherwise, don't wast my time with Omar Karimi novels.

by No Fear on Sat Jan 22, 2011 08:26 PM PSTThese kurdish terrorist sympathizers are pathetic. The link that this bozo attached to prove the crimes of IR, actually has pictures of MKO members that were executed in the early days of revolution.
These are the same people ( MKO ) who were paid and ordered by sadam to move in kurdistan to prevent seperatists from gaining full control over the territories.
He is desperately clinging to anything he can find to make a point.
Here is a video of these terrorist scumbags crimes. May we see their bodies hanging from cranes in the middle of their towns.

by norooz on Sat Jan 22, 2011 08:18 PM PSTKeep the discussion civilized!!! Or I ........
I looked at the pictures you attached. There is nothing there proving the man holding the head is from sepah or the decapitated head is Kurd. It could very well be the other way around or a fabrication or from south American guerrilla fighters.
I tell you why: Sepah wears boots not tennis shoes or regular shoe in combat. Also their clothes were not the color of the man holding or stepped on the head. If you insist, I can scan the shoes and find out who manufactured them and find the killer. I'll do it for you.
Now, the question is, How this Kurd "sarbaseiran" (written under the pictures) has been able to take the sepahi's picture holding a head or the other heads in the box? This is how propaganda works. They show a few real images of the news papers next to some others to make you believe.
Now, say good night and go to bed.

These are pictures of Sepah members ( your cousins) holding the heads of people that
THE MEMBERS OF SEPAH HAVE JUST MURDERED AND DECAPITATED.
How shamelessly could you lie and for how long? How about all those massacred and decapitated by IR and Sepah in Khuzistan, Torkman Sahra, Baluchestan,...
How does it feel to apologize for the biggest drug dealers in the world? Do you get any portions from that?
You days are numbered.
P.S. What took place in that village was a totoal massacre! Sepah killed EVERY LIVING THING IN THOSE VILLAGES FROM HUMAN BEINGS TO COWS, GOATS, CHICKENS, HORSES, EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING THAT MOVED.AND WE STILL STRIVE.
WE SHALL OVERCOME.
Mash Ghasem
by norooz on Sat Jan 22, 2011 06:55 PM PSTIt is very much possible that in retaliation of the killings and decapitation of soldiers as I described, the armed forces went to those villages to arrest them which then would become a war zone and civilians can get killed too.
I read the article you attached about the interview with Omar Karimi. Here are some of Omar's story and my comments.
Keep in mind that Omar is a man who doesn't even know how old he is or what the population in his village is.
This disaster occurred in the disturbed atmosphere following the revolution when armed Kurdish groups were fighting the government's forces, but according to the existing information and eye-witnesses' explanations, the villagers of Qarana were unarmed and were not members of the opposition parties.
Omar Karimi, how old were you at the time?
I am a villager. Villagers do not have proper birth certificates and at that time I had just returned from military service and so I was probably about twenty three.
What was the population of Qarana?
I cannot say. We were eighty families. We numbered ourselves by the number of animals we had.
So the people of Qarana were armed?
No, maybe four or five families had a gun.
When the attackers came to Qarana, the village’s cleric, Mullah Mahmud, went, Koran in hand, and said, “By God, we are not armed and had no role in the attack on the Do Ab Police Station. Have mercy on us, we’re Muslims too.” They apparently released him twice but in the end they decapitated him.
My comment: First Omar says, no. then four or five family with guns! They apparently released Mullah Mahmoud twice, but decapitated him!!!
Did anyone take any pictures so that there would be a document of the crimes committed?
No one in the village has a camera. We were very terrified and no one thought about this. I asked around a great deal. The people are still afraid to speak up about this. But apparently a few people who had left the village took some pictures some days later.
My comment: No one had any camera, but apparently some one did and took pictures!!!
Has anyone ever asked to interview you?
By God, you are the first person who has sought me out, me and Kak Soltan, who is living in Sweden and with whom you’ve spoken and one other person who has settled in Norway and who was then ten years old are the only witnesses of this event. Media connected with the parties in Kurdistan have made a few reports on this matter, but their information is somewhat confused. This story is being forgotten and no one has done anything about it. A book has apparently been written on it, but it is hard to obtain.
My comment: Omar doesn't know his name or the population in his village, but he had read the reports and found them confused!!!
You mean the book by Mr. Behzad Khokhhali? I examined it. It is mostly a collection of articles from the newspapers of the time. Ettelaat and Keyhan wrote articles about it.
Yes. But the problem is that it only mentions two villages, Qarana and Qalatan, while I, being a resident of that region, can bear witness that several other villages had also been attacked, but they are not written about anywhere or recorded. Our few documents are disappearing.
My comment: Omar is familiar with the book and knows Mr. Behzad Khokhali and has read the book because he knows that the book has only mentioned two villages, But Omar forgot that he doesn't even know how old he is or the population of his village!!! Too many discrepancies, contradictions and lies by Omar!!!
My conclusion: It is clear that Omar and the interviewer are the same person, who wrote a novel to portray the terrorist/separatists as innocent heroes and the armed forces who fought Iraqis, gave their lives to save Kurdistan and Kurds, while they were being stabbed in the back as evil !!!!! kind of like the Movie "300"
Slaughter in Qarana, Thirty-one years after the tragedy
by Mash Ghasem on Sat Jan 22, 2011 12:37 AM PST"We spent several days searching for corpses for several days. They
removed the corpses from the village and threw them into the surrounding
valleys. They brought the corpses to the wilderness to make it as if
they had been killed in hit and run battles. Their faces could not be
made out. We determined the victims' identities from their clothes. When
we pulled on a hand or parts of the body to carry it, it would separate
from the body. The villagers were terrified and were in a state of
shock for several months."

by norooz on Thu Jan 20, 2011 10:15 PM PSTYour information are based on claims by US navy? Same people who shot down Iranian passenger plane and were honored and promoted by president Reagan? Same people who supported Saddam and killed many Iranians and change their claims about Fallujah to build a stronger case to attack Iraq? Same people who use chemical weapons in Iraq? If you read the link I attached and more links that exists, you will see that number of governments and organizations have done extensive research and they found no evidence against Iran. I am not saying IRI hasn't committed crimes, they have against Iranians, but Fallujah wasn't one of them. I agree that MARDOM SALARI is an issue, but we don't have the problems that we have in Kurdistan, in Azerbaijan and the difference is that Azerbaijan doesn't want to be divided from Iran. At least not yet. Perhaps with US support and empty promises they might.
When I wrote about some people changed team, I was referring to Khouzestan. They speak Arabic and before Saddam attacked Iran, he started some Arab nationalist propaganda campaign on radio and some people fell for them.
I write what i have seen and believe and don't really care if you believe or not. I figured you all write bunch of false and unsubstantial comments 24/7 and some readers might be interested in truth and common sense.

If kurdistan or Khouzestan
by norooz on Thu Jan 20, 2011 08:05 PM PSTIf kurdistan or Khouzestan were on their own, none of them would have survived the attacks. Some were happy about the attacks, but once they were looted, kidnapped and raped by Iraqi troops, they realized how wrong they were.
Hooshang,
Iran also used chemical weapons in halabcheh? Had Iran used such weapons do you think west would have let it go just like that?
There are many studies that rejects that claim. below is just one of them. isn't that interesting? US accused Iran of the massacre until they wanted to sell the war on Iraq.
Joost Hiltermann, who was the principal researcher for the Human Rights Watch between 1992–1994, conducted a two-year study of the massacre, including a field investigation in northern Iraq. According to his analysis of thousands of captured Iraqi secret police documents and declassified U.S. government documents, as well as interviews with scores of Kurdish survivors, senior Iraqi defectors and retired U.S. intelligence officers, it is clear that Iraq carried out the attack on Halabja, and that the United States, fully aware of this, accused Iran, Iraq's enemy in a fierce war, of being partly responsible for the attack.[13] This research concluded there were numerous other gas attacks, unquestionably perpetrated against the Kurds by the Iraqi armed forces. According to Hiltermann, the literature on the Iran-Iraq war reflects a number of allegations of chemical weapons use by Iran, but these are "marred by a lack of specificity as to time and place, and the failure to provide any sort of evidence". Hiltermann called these allegations "mere assertions" and added that "no persuasive evidence of the claim that Iran was the primary culprit was ever presented."
//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halabja_poison_gas_attack
But halanche was repeated again in Fullujah and some other places by the same government who was accusing Iran for the massacre in Halancheh.

by Hooshang Tarreh-Gol on Wed Jan 19, 2011 11:31 PM PSTyour avatar.
As far as:
Iran-Iraq War : Iranian Kurdestan actually had the least "recruitment" , almost close to zero, for the war ,thanks to Komalah's political work amongst the people, and people's own refusal to becoming canon fodders for the mullahs.
Islamic Republic's use of Chemical weapons: As the late, great Edward Said had mentioned and written on Halabcheh, there were ample evidence that Islamic Republic as well had used Chemical weapons against Iraqis.
What your most obtuse mind CAN NOT UDERSTAND is that Komalah's most powerful resource is the public trust and respect that Iranian people have bestowed upon it.
And last but not least: do not forget Komalah has organized two General Strikes ( a most non-violent, creative, effective mode of action) so far:
I have a feeling the next one shall be a nation-wide General Strike: think Iran circa 1979, or Tunisia right now.

by No Fear on Wed Jan 19, 2011 10:58 PM PSTWe have not forgotten that all three branches of Komoleh were killing Iranian soldiers during the Iran iraq war. Hopefully, each one of those traitors will have their bodies hanging from a crane when captured.
Its really pathetic when we were defending kurdish cities from Sadam's bombing, and even transfering iraqi kurdish chemical victims from Shalamcheh ( iraq ) to hospitals all over Iran and giving them care ( I am an eyewitness ), and later housed so many iraqi and Iranian kurdish families in hotels all over Tehran, kurdish groups like Komoleh and PDKI along with PJAK were busy killing Iranian soldiers who were defending their families.

by cosinox on Tue Jan 18, 2011 12:49 AM PST1st of all a death penalty is something that shouldn't be at all. If someone did something bad it is more reasonable that he will work for the community then being dead.2nd If your country has a death penalty he should at least have the right to say a word or 2 in front of a judge before murdering him, unless they don't won't him to say what he has to say. Maybe we the Israeli's people should just kill all the Arab people in Jail who did/planed Terror attacks on Israeli soiled (Just for the record In Israel we don't have a death Penalty) Maybe this is the only way that Muslims know? What do you think?
Facts and lies:
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Mon Jan 17, 2011 08:39 PM PSTFacts:
1) Koomeleh is not a separatist organisation. They are a socialist, secular party with membership not only in Kurdistan, but all over Iran. They are immensely popular im Kurdistan though. Look at their web site!
2) The Kurdish people never bought into this big lie of "Islamic Republic" from they dot. And they have been paying a very high price for it ever since. Whole Kurdish villages, men women and children have been looted and murdered by the islamist bassij force over the years. Kurds are not separatists. Any separatist sentiments however can be only fueled by murderous terroristic, racist behaviour of islamist regime. Just check the statements made here by Islamist cyber agents and imagine if you were kurd. I am not a kurd myself but reading these statements I can imagine how a kurd would feel reading these.....
3) Islamic regime is desparate and angry with the fact they can not murder Iranians in secret any longer. Hence we will see this kind of hysteric reaction we are seeing here from their cyber agents each time we publicize their crimes. The louder they scream for murder of Iranians, kurd, balooch and fars, the more we expose them. That guaranteed!
Lies:
what the nameless , faceless, cowardly , west residing agents of regime on this site, norooz, no fear and the rest say!
Free all political prisoners in Iran. fars, kurd, balooch... all of them now!
Stop executions in Iran Now!

by norooz on Mon Jan 17, 2011 08:16 PM PSTStruggle for freedom and democracy is one thing, but to divide the country is another. When people decide to take arms and kill to divide the country, what do they expect to get? During the war when I was in Kurdistan, just in one night "Komoleh" separatists decapitated 17 soldiers in one village a mile from where we were. These separatists are no Gandhi.
With all that said, they should have the right to an attorney and defend themselves in a just court. Unfortunately, when attorney gets 11 years for doing her job, how can we be sure that these individuals are all guilty? And just what the hell is the charge "Enemy of God"? some of the people that are being executed and tortured are religious and some devoted Muslims. So which God are they the enemy of? Or is it really the enemy of Khamenei?
While back a commentator wrote, it takes not a nation or a group but one man with a sniper to put them on the right track, one criminal at a time. Who knows, he/she might be right.

Not surprising ...
by No Fear on Mon Jan 17, 2011 01:05 AM PSTIran is neighbor to afghanistan, world top drug producer. Everyday you see news article in Iran about a drug bust. Every year thousands tons of heroin and opium is discovered and the dealers and smugglers are captured. We are by far the leading country in the world when it comes to drug busts.
Well .. its only natural that we have record numbers of executions of drug smugglers. Its our law and it must be enforced. If the international community is so freakish about these executions, then maybe its time we give these smugglers a free pass through our territory so they can dump their afghan heroin all over europe.
There are other scum bags that deserve the same fate as well. They are the terrorist groups that surround our country. We are not on good terms with Taliban on our eastern borders. We have to worry about jundollah and the rigi clan to south east. We have to deal with the kurdish seperatists scum bags to our east along with the rajavi and MKO clans. I believe Iran is the only country that is dealing with so many terrorist organizations at once.
Well ... I don't have a problem with capturing and executing them either. I don't think any country will have a problem with capturing terrorists and breaking their necks.
And please .. they are not " political prisoners".
What are you saying? That they are killing iranians because they want freedom in Iran? Are you serious?
PS: That kurdish scumbag ( Hossein Khezri ) killed a police officer in an attack on a border crossing post in Gol Sheikhan, Urumiyeh. He deserved what he got.
You got a problem with that?
