Mamosta Ayoub Ganji: Prisoner of the day

Sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 years in exile

RAHANA: Mamosta Ayoub Ganji is a writer and the former Friday Imam of Qoba Mosque in the City of Sanandaj in Kurdistan. He was arrested in May 2008. Ganji was allowed a short medical furlough for in 2010, after which he was returned to prison.

The Hamadan Special Clerics Court tried Mamosta Ayoub Ganji, a Sunni cleric, on charges of "acting against national security" and "propagating falsehoods with the intent to create public anxiety." He was defrocked and sentenced to a permanent ban on serving as a cleric, ten years in prison, and ten years in exile in Hamadan.

Almost four years after Mamosta Ayoub Ganji's imprisonment in Hamadan, judicial authorities refuse to allow his transfer to Sanandaj prison, or to allow him medical furlough.

Can Shi'ite authorities defrock members of Sunni clergy?

Can Shi'ite authorities defrock members of Sunni clergy? Only removal of the criminal regime will cure our country's ills!

Iranian courts are illegal

by Abarmard on

Iranian courts are unconstitutional. None of the accused individuals were represented based on their constitutional rights. There is no such thing as a "revolutionary court" in the constitution.

The leader and his assigned courts must be held responsible for injustice of the Islamic Republic Court system.

Doorood bar tamame Iranian e mobarez...

by Bavafa on

People of all walks of life in Iran have been getting the wrath of IRI for standing up for their rights and freedom.  This including writers, journalist, students and religious leaders.  They deserve our full support for their immediate and unconditional freedom. My hats off to each and every Iranian freedom seeking mobarez
