Iranian of the Day

بهنام ابراهیم‌زاده فعال حقوق کودک و عضو “جمعیت دفاع از کودکان

بهنام (اسعد) ابراهیم‌زاده، کارگر زندانی در بند ۳۵۰ زندان اوین علاوه بر درد شدید در گوش، اخیرا به خاطر مشکل جدی در کلیه دچار درد و ناراحتی شده است.

این در حالیست که علیرغم اعلام کتبی بهنام ایراهیم زاده به مقامات پزشکی و اداری زندان، و نیز نامه نگاری‌هایی که اعضای خانواده‌اش با مقامات زندان و اداره کل زندان داشته‌اند هنوز برای مداوای بهنام و اعزام او به بیمارستان اقدامی انجام نگرفته است و این کارگر زندانی هر روز بیش از پیش از ناراحتی جسمی رنج می‌برد.

به گزارش کمیته هماهنگی برای ایجاد تشکل‌های کارگری، آقای ابراهیم زاده اکنون با احتساب ایام طولانی مدت انفرادی، بیش از نیمی از محکومیت خود را طی کرده و مقامات قضایی حتی به لحاظ قوانین موجود نیز امکان این را دارند که دستور آزادی کامل وی را صادر نمایند.

بهنام ابراهیم‌زاده فعال کارگری و عضو “کمیته پیگیری ایجاد تشکل‌های کارگری” و فعال حقوق کودک و عضو “جمعیت دفاع از کودکان کار و خیابان”، در تاریخ ۲۲ خرداد ۸۹ توسط ماموران امنیتی دستگیر شد و سرانجام بعد از چند مرحله دادگاه و مراحل قضایی و تنها به دلیل دفاع از حقوق کارگران و فعالیت در عرصهٔ لغو کار کودک به پنچ سال حبس محکوم شد.

Abolishing child labor is important along with

making sure they have everything they need to live and succeed.  So Jobs for the parents is important and investment in quality education and development of new industry. The Late Shah and his team were really the Angels our hearts had been dreaming of based on their actions for Iranians.  Life was getting better not all at once, but a little at a time, better and better always improving, always enjoying greater peace, progress and human rights, thanks to the late shah for working tirelessly for the children of Iran.  In reality the results his team produced had more support and consent among the people of Iran than any democratically elected government ever could produce.

Mehrban,

If you care then you have love of these kids in your heart. Is that too hard to comprehend?  People do not care .. I was in Iran and I was literally pissed off at people who would walk by these kids while they are in the cold weather begging. They would just walk by and completely ignore them. Now if that kid was one of their own would they walk by or they would do anything that they could do to stop it?  Now imagine if the entire nation starts to care and love these kids as their own and stop seeing them as the government problem and just another beggar on the streets.  Then change would surely come regardless of the type of government we have.  

I agree with you dear red wine

I was not just talking about donations. A long time solution is much more effective but we have to want this to happen. We have to want it with all our hearts and actually do something about it.  

Teaching them some skills is great but Child labor should be stopped. We have to let kids be kids. A nation should understand the problem and then demand its government to regulate it. We did not do that at the time of Shah , we are not doing it now and we will not going to do it in any future regime. Simply because we do not care.  People have hard time to donate even if they afford it yet alone do something permanent. 

Now anything is better than nothing and any organization that is taking some steps is at least walking on the right path.  

These kids don't need to be in our hearts!

They need to be in school and university or trade schools where they learn and have a chance to become productive and independent citizens.  Empty rhetoric of love is just that empty rhetoric.  

...

سوسن خانم جان،حرفهای شما زیبا و کتابی هستند،بچه‌ها باید یک حرفه و پیشه یاد گیرند تا به دامانِ جرم و جنایت پناه نگیرند،درینجا تمامِ راهکار‌هایی‌ که محققان و جامعه شناسان به پیش گرفتند شکست خورده و به درد خودهشان می‌‌خورد،با این حرف‌ها و کلمات و این گونه رفتارها به هیچ وجهی نمیتوان آینده‌ای نیکو برای این کودکان پیش بینی‌ کرد.

گرسنگی و توسری خوری‌های متوالی‌ دردی را درمان هیچ نیست و با الهی قربانت بروم،دستِ فلانی درد نکند،ممنون که ۱۰ دلار کمک کردی،این خانمه چه خوش قلبه،این آقائه چه مهربونه و غیره و غیره نمی‌شود آتیه خوبی‌ را برای این بچه‌ها تضمین کرد و ساخت.

باید کارِ اساسی‌ کرد،از اول این قدم را برداشت و خالص و مخلص کاری برای اینها کرد ،وگرنه همان بهتر باشد که به اموراتِ هندوانه به زیر بغل گذاشتن بپردازیم.

هر روزتان بهاری باشد.

If we just knew what LOVE is

We would not call it a small band-aid remedy.

These kids have never been in our hearts to begin with ... Their situation has been kept the same as before revolution. I have no hope in any future regime either. We, as a nation, have to bring this to our heart's attention until then nothing and absolutely nothing will be changed for these kids.   

...

کاش به همراه سواد آموزی اندکی‌ حرفه و تخصص یادِ اینان بدهند،آخر آموزشِ چند حرف و چند عدد به کجای زندگی‌ اینها مرهم می‌‌بخشد ؟!مگر مسئولان خبر ندارند که دیگر در دنیای امروزی (کشور‌های پیشرفته و در حالِ پیشرفت) این گونه مدارس کفایتِ کار نمیکند !؟

شرمنده... امروز مجالی برای هندوانه زیر بغل گذاشتن نیست .

"Underlying reasons"

To write beautiful enshas about child labour, political prisoners, stray dogs and LOVE does not help much but is a small band-aid remedy.  The policies of IR produce child laborers in a much faster rate than any organization could help out.   

Thanks anyway, it is better than nothing.

It is heartwarming, watching these kids being helped.

Thanks to all those involved.

However, the bigger picture, the underlying reason for this poverty affecting increasing number of our compatriots, whilst Hundreds of billions of Dollars of our oil income simply go "missing" (read syphoned off to ahmadinezhad and khamenei secret bank accounts across the globe...), is and remains the fascist islamist regime.

Nothing short of complete dismantlement of this inherently corrupt, criminal islamist regime and it's replacement with a Democratic republic would start the process of establishment of rule of law & eradication of poverty and crime from our beloved homeland.

Thanks for posting this ...

I agree that what they are doing is wonderful but what would be even more wonderful is abolishing the child labor in that country once and for all, which also seems to be much harder to achieve ...In any case, they are at least doing something.  So more power to these type of organizations in Iran . Sadly, for us who are residing in the west it is almost impossible to even financially support these type of organizations due to the new sanctions on Iran ... 

Sanctions are like watching your loved ones being bled to death while you have all sort of life saving equipments in your hands...  

Angels

This is so wonderful, how they are helping these children.
