iranhumanrights.org: Interference by security and plainclothes agents in the funeral of prominent Iranian political activist Ezatollah Sahabi, including beatings of mourners, led to the death of Sahabi’s daughter Haleh, who suffered a fatal heart attack at the event today. “The shameful actions of government thugs in this incident reveal a deep contempt for traditions that belong to all Iranians, and they have resulted in a tragedy,” said Hadi Ghaemi, spokesperson for the Campaign. The Campaign called upon the Iranian Judiciary to investigate the incident at Ezatollah Sahabi’s funeral, and for Iran’s highest political and religious authorities to forbid security forces from any physical or psychological assaults or any other form of interference in funeral observances, regardless of the political views of the deceased and their families. A journalist present at the funeral procession of Ezatollah Sahabi, a prominent political activist, dissident, and a member of the Freedom Movement, told the Campaign that there was a large group of plainclothes and security forces present at the ceremony who beat a number of mourners >>>

Let us not forget...
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Thu Jun 02, 2011 08:22 AM PDTThat the case of haleh and her father (both RIP) gets such prominence, because Mr. sahabi himself was once a minister in the Islamist regime. In other words they are killing their own people now.
A brief glance at the web sites of other opposition groups' "Martyrs pages" would provide the reader with a heart breaking list of names and pictures of thousands of children, young, old, man woman, student Doctor, professor, manual worker, fars, Gilak, arab, kurd, balooch, Turkman, etc. who have been raped, tortured, murdered by this criminal islamist regime for "crimes" as simple as reading the wrong pamphlet or listening to the wromg music.
The day will come, when these islamist murderers have to answer back for their crimes in Iranian people's revolutionary courts. They'll need Devil's help on that day, because God, I'm sure would not be on their side.

Good answer Azadeh
by Soosan Khanoom on Thu Jun 02, 2011 07:44 AM PDTI agree ... with those brainless thugs anything is possible and shamelessly are able to do anything .....
Even if they had not done it this time they deserve to get the blame for it cause in reality does not matter who did it anymore. What matters is that these things have been going on in that country for a long time and no one has been even willing to stop it ....
They shall not survive not just because of this single questionable event but by many unquestionable crimes that they have done with out even hiding the crimes. As a matter of fact IRI is so proud of those .... one painful example is what they did to the girls political prisoners as MG brought it up ...
The time will
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Thu Jun 02, 2011 06:57 AM PDTThe time will come when Khamenei and Mollahs will face justice. Maybe Khamenei will be lucky and die before then. He will be there with Khomeini in hell. Rest assured when IR goes Mollahs will be hanging off trees.
People will *** on the Mollahs; Imams and Islam. Rastgoo you are wrong about people. No one wants to see this *** happen. Islam is done for in Iran and the world. More they murder the more they expose the real face of Islam.
Re: Shame on all of us!
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Thu Jun 02, 2011 06:51 AM PDTSir, shame on yourself. I did not rape anyone. I did not support Islamism. You are the one who advocates Melli Mazhabi not me. So you can ***. This "poor" man spent his life bringing about the IR.
Now his innocent daughter paid for his crimes. Yes Khomeini needed JM; MKO; and Melli Mazhabi to get to power. He needed them to not support Bakhtiyar. People like you were the reason we have IR. So look in the mirror and find the problem.
I opposed the stupid revolution. I and a few people like me did not participate in marches for Khomeini. Now you have the nerve to blame us? Is there no shame in Melli Mazhabi Islamists. Well I do not think so and I am right.
Re: Why did IR's thugs had to
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Thu Jun 02, 2011 06:46 AM PDTBecause they are good Muslims and want their 70 virgins. A good Muslim is required to rape and murder. As their molester prophet Mohammad did.

Shame on all of us!
by Shokaran on Wed Jun 01, 2011 11:39 PM PDTNo, I am right! Shame on all of us who just can criticise and blame everybody for this mess except ourselves!..Do you think Khomeini needed Nehzat Azadi to get on power?...Do you think without them people wouldn't support ayatollahs??...If you think that way you are absolutely wrong!..I am 51 years old and I can remember those days like yesterday!...This poor man spent all his life fighting against dictatorship of any kind and just because he wasn't successful all these fat bottom guys behind their computer sitting in their warm and secure place in West thumb him down! Duhhhh!.....What did "YOU" do for your country?
P.S. Killers are not even worth of being shameful!Tragedy after tragedy
by Jahanshah Javid on Wed Jun 01, 2011 11:21 PM PDTAs if the loss of a great man like Ezzatollah Sahabi was not enough. As if it's not painful enough to witness how good honest intelligent people like Sahabi are unable to serve and enjoy their country. The loss of Haleh Sahabi is profoundly heartbreaking.
SHAME ON KILLERS
by Shemirani on Wed Jun 01, 2011 11:21 PM PDTSHAME ON KILLERS !!!!
.... certainly not on US !!! Control your anger Shokran !!!!!! we may not admire (and agree) the father idea's and job but noone is happy with this news !!!!!
Down with this Republic we have for 3 decades !! More then 30 years of murdering our people,Taze be ma mighan Haters Vaghean ke shakh dar miaram az in mantegh shoma !!!
Shame on YOU!
by Shokaran on Wed Jun 01, 2011 10:48 PM PDTI was wondering those people who were criticising Sahabi & Co. Political life where did they hide their heads after reading this news?
P.S. Keep your heads in your arse as long as you can!!
IRI is the most stupid group of people on earth in 1 place,
by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on Wed Jun 01, 2011 09:12 PM PDTReally they are just thugs and rag heads with no brains,
Infact to call them dumb or stupid is such an understatement considering they are even too stupid to be called stupid.
We are talking about Supremely Stupid.
There is no explanation to their actions, they were born lying and stealing and now that their is no Shah to put them in their place, they are busy bullying everyone hoping they are to be feared. Terrorised is a better word.
Their aim is to create a society based on fear, they forget they are supposed to be running a country and thinking of their own future, at this rate, they won't have a country to call their own.
People in Iran have wanted to hang the IRI and its supporters with telephone wires since the very first days after the revolution as everything started turning south,.

شاید بتوان قبول کرد که درصد قابل توجهی از مردم ایران آنهم بخاطر نبود رسانه آزاد متوجه نیستند که این کشور به دست چه آشغالهای حرامزاده ای دارد اداره می شود ولی اینکه بگیم درصد قابل توجهی از توده های محروم ایران از این رژیم راضی هستند بیشتر به یک جوک شبیه است تا حقیقت. این رژیم اگر حتی ده درصد از حمایت مردم را داشت این همه از تشییع جنازه یک فوتبالیست و یا پیرمرد 82 ساله نمی ترسید. رژیمی که کارش شده جنازه دزدی نمی تواند دوام بیاورد و دیر یا زود سقوط خواهد کرد
If what Azarin says is truth
by Soosan Khanoom on Wed Jun 01, 2011 07:40 PM PDT"I know someone from Sahabi family. He confirmed that his cousin has been murdered after being stabbed with a knife/sharp object…"
Then I have one question ..... why would IRI want to do that and what is in it for IRI?
IRI could have arrested her with no alibi and IRI could have sentenced her to lashes and then death calling her " Mohareb Ba KHoda " .. IRI has done it before... iRI will do it again and iRI does not give a damn what International human rights community think about it ...
now why would IRI send someone to stab her to death in the middle of funeral or wherever Azarin heard that the crime has happened? Why would IRI want to go to that extreme knowing people may actually get upset and start demonstrating ? Has the regime missed the demonstrators and wanted them back on the street?
I am a little bit confused? can someone put 2 and 2 together here without starting bashing IRI ..... IRI deserves any hate it can get from us but right now I think something fishy is going on here and I can not figure it out .... it just does not make sense .....
Give Rastgoo a break, he does have a point
by shahabshahab on Wed Jun 01, 2011 07:19 PM PDTI do not know who this Rastgoo is, but his comments in this blog have a good touch of reality, like it or not.
The Iranian people are not all Azadikhah, as much we all would like to believe. The majority DOES have a dictatorial/sheepish trait in them ,making they easy to ruke and and easier to fool.
Even Syrians, who were quite backwards see the idea of freedom as a worthy cause, whereas many Irabians actually admire a dictator of one form or another.
Now, don't start accusing me of anything. These are facts, facts, facts. I have experienced these all my life.
If you want to do something positiive, change Iranian people's culture to not be so selfish.
That would be a start.
"rastgoo": the burden of proof is on you.
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Wed Jun 01, 2011 05:45 PM PDTWhen you make statements such as" "anti regime are no more than 40%" and "the poor and working class are not against the regime".
Prove it! and "remember, non_ circumstantioal facts"!
p.s. and take your time, as I see one person here, unable to think before opening his massive mouth, "zogh zadeh shodeh" with your claims :)

Re:Read Rastgoo's
by aynak on Wed Jun 01, 2011 05:38 PM PDTOh yeh? Is that why you were pissing your pants as soon as the news came out last night, by copying the tabnak piece? Tabanak which did not dare put the news of Sahabi's (father) death in its paper, jumped on trying to give their own spin on how Haleh was murdered. Suddenly her heart stopped that simple, was what these murdering thugs reported.
Fact of the matter is, you are scared shit of people. That is why you don't allow for a funeral, and have to burry the bodies at night. But it will only take time for people to regroup. Fundamentally, those inside Iran, have changed and their views of Khamaneh-ee has changed. That's why he is resorting to measure only dicatotors of worst kind will take on their last leg.
People's FEAR of a rapist regime that has no mercy for anyone young or old, sick or healthy, must not be mistaken for their indifference. But the same way they overcame their fear of Shah and Savak, they will overcome their fear of Khamane-ee and these thugs. Sooner than you think.

They can get away with it
by Rastgoo on Wed Jun 01, 2011 05:08 PM PDTBecause they are the majority. The rule of the "arazel va oobash" is sanctioned by the majority of Iran's people. The anti-regime (Green or otherwise) are no more than 40%. That's why the Arabs can overthrow their governments and we can't. The poor and the working class are not against the regime. We all have to wake up and smell the coffee and stop fooling ourselves that the regime will fall any day. I would love to be refuted by facts. Please by all means indulge me. Remember non-circumstantial facts.
killing another one of their own.

by afshinazad on Wed Jun 01, 2011 01:20 PM PDTWhy some people are surprise and I wonder what is wrong with our people.
Are we Iranian still debating who screwed us 100 year ago or 50 year ago or 33 year ago?
We must learn from Syrians, who are the bravest people alive today on earth, after over thousand death and tens of thousands in prison, still marching and if we Iranian had a same courage we could of removed this cancer and monsters out of our country. But we are not brave enough.
how can they do this

Look at what our country has come to after 32 years of this facistic islamist regime. Getting murdered for daring to attend your elderly father's funeral. This man and his daughter (both R.I.P) and lots of those raped and murdered post 2009 uprising, were devout, decent muslims.
