Saeed Zeinali: Prisoner of the day
Rooz Online: Saeed Zeinali, 22, a Tehran University Computer Science graduate, was arrested at his home on July 10,1999, five days after the 5 July 1999 (18 Tir 1378) unrest at Tehran University dormitories in Tehran. He was allowed to make one phone call to his family three months later. Since then, his family have not heard from him, have not seen him, and have no information about his fate and possible detention location. His family's persistent pursuit of news about him has proven fruitless. In 2010, Zeinali's mother, Akram Neghabi, and his sister were arrested and detained inside the Intelligence Ministry's Ward 209 at Evin Prison for two months, following Akram Neghabi's September 2009 interview with Voice of America about her missing son's case.
In a 2011 interview with Rooz Online, 12 years after Zeinali's arrest, his mother said that the authorities have kept silent about whether Saeed Zeinali is still alive. She said about her son's arrest, "On July 10, 1999, three men came to our house. They came in and said we have some questions of Saeed. Saeed's father was at work. I kept asking them where they were taking Saeed. They said we have a few questions and that Saeed will be back soon. They took him. He called three months later and talked for two minutes. He said, 'I am well. Follow up my case.' He didn't say where he was, nor why they had taken him, or what he had done. We followed up with every conceivable organization thousands of times, but without any results. Six months after Saeed's phone call, I believe it was on the birthday of Imam Ali, they called us and said, "we are calling to give you [good] news about Saeed's health and to make you happy.' No matter how much we asked and we begged and insisted to know where they were calling from and where Saeed was, they didn't give us any answers." Asked whether the arresting forces told from which organization they had come, or whether they had presented an arrest warrant, she said, "They didn't say where they had come from. I was in such bad shape I didn't ask them. They said they had to search the house and they did. I was beside myself looking at Saeed's pale face. I didn't know then that I should ask for a warrant..."
"When we ask them about Saeed, they keep saying that they are following up his case. They have not told us yet where Saeed is and what has happened to him, is he alive or dead. Someone from Mr. Naghdi's Office [Head of Police Intelligence Unit at the time] told us back then that 'Your kid has been arrested by our Operations Unit, don't come here uninvited; whenever it's necessary, we will contact you ourselves,' but nothing happened. When Mr. Qalibaf became the Chief of Police, Colonel Fatemi called from his office and said to take a photo of saeed to them to Follow up his case. Saeed's father took the photo. We went the following week and they said that they would grant us visitation, but then they said that it was out of their control and that they were sorry. Four years ago, Mr. Salarkia [former Deputy Tehran Prosecutor in charge of Prisons] said that they had talked with the Intelligence Ministry and that we were going to be allowed to visit Saeed. We went to Mr. Mortazavi's [former Tehran Prosecutor] office. They told us to come back in ten days, and every ten days, they kept postponing. In the end they said, "Go. We will contact you whenever necessary, as we ourselves are not allowed to see him.' Over these years, we have a box full of correspondence reference numbers for the letters we have sent to different organizations rsuch as the Supreme Leader's Office, the Intelligence Ministry, the Interior Ministry, the Prosecutor's Office, and wherever imaginable, without any results," Saeed Zenali's mother told Rooz Online.
Asked whether they were ever able to find out Saeed Zeinali's detention location, Akram Neghabi said, "No. They never give us any answers about this. We went to the Prosecutor's Office so often, they contacted us from Mr. [Jafari] Dolatabadi's [Tehran Prosecutor] Office to take whatever letters and documents we have. We took them the documents but since then, whenever we go there they say that, 'Mr. Dolatabadi is following up this case and when we have any results we will inform you.' My husband went there again all day, but there is no news. They give us no answers, they just tell us to wait and that they will pursue it. Over the years, they have told us to go different places, and from there to other locations, and yet to others. There is no organization we have not visited. They don't tell us whether he is alive or dead, or where he is."
According to Rooz Online's 8 July report, there is no development in Saeed Zenali's case.

Down with the IRI

اگر فکر مکنید چنین ادعایی اغراق آمیز میباشد، فقط دقت کنید که چند نفر مستمر و پیگیر این ستون را دنبال میکنند، و یا در بهبود کیفیت آن، و گسترش افشاگری در مورد زندانی های سیاسی در ایران، میکوشند.
انگار تبلیغ گذاشتن برای تلفن به ایران در اینجا بدون هوا کردن پرچم کریه عنکبوتی، گناه کبیره است و غیر ممکن.تازه از انگشت شمار افرادی که روزانه بدین ستون میپردازند، دو جناح متضاد ( موافقان تحریم از یک طرف و حامیان "خجل" جمهوری اسلامی از طرف دیگر) در حقیقت دعوای خودشان را دارند، که آنرا به این ستون کشیده و به زندانیان سیاسی ایران نسبت میدهند.
حالا اگر این عدم توجه و درگیری از سوی اکثریت خوانندگان، از یک سو، و بهره برداری ابزارگرایانه از زندانیان سیاسی ایران از سوی دیگر، کافی نبود، در چند هفته اخیرشاهد یکی از کرخت ترین و بی حس ترین "شاه کار"های گردانندگان این سایت میباشیم، و آن به احتراز در آمدن یکسره و بدون انقطاع پرچم عنکبوتی جمهوری جهنمی اسلامی در این سایت.
ما را چه میشود؟

بیزحمت به زندانیان سیاسی ایران که جانشان را برای ایران و ایرانی به خطر انداخته اند احترام بگذار و اینقدر حرفهای لوس و بی سر وته نزن. مسائل دیگر را هم با مسائل ایران قاطی نکن.
تا حالا یک نفر از شما ها شنیده اید که یک زندان سیاسی و یا یک وکیل حقوق بشر در ایران حرفی راجب به مساله ای بجز زندانیان ایران بزند.
اگر برای این زندانیان احترام قائل هستید حرف های دیگر را وارد این بلاگ ها نکنید.

Mission; Hijacking of a blog on Iranian political prisoners,
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Tue Jul 10, 2012 10:25 AM PDTFully accomplished...
Just look at the two pathetic comments below me. What the heck have they got to do with the blog topic?
Friends: Please ignore the distractors. Just focus on the topic of this blog about our nations very best and bravest.

Death to islamist Republic.

by Demo on Tue Jul 10, 2012 10:04 AM PDTThe power of silence to protest is much more superior that the noisy lips supports! And especially if it is used among the opportunistic folks!
Démodé!
by Faramarz on Tue Jul 10, 2012 09:59 AM PDT"Fara-Maghz" is a nickname that I came up for myself when one of the "Banished Ones", Disenchanted was struggling to come up with a nickname for me, so I helped him. You need to at least acknowledge the source since you lack the humor or creativity to come up with something original.
But "Fara Maghz" means beyond brain, which is something difficult to grasp like the "God's Particle" for the "people of the single book" like yourself!
And then there is the pussycat!
Rape of political prisoners in Islamic Republic's jails.
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Tue Jul 10, 2012 09:32 AM PDTIs well known and documented. Mr Karoubi, himself a "regime insider", had the courage to speak out against these shamefull acts, post 20009 Fraudulent elections. As early as 1980's, Ayatollah Montazari , himself the most senior Shia cleric, wrote letters to Khomeini complaining about these shameful acts in the name of islam. Ayatollah Montazari was banished for the rest of his life, by Khomeini for speaking out on this matter. As recent as March 2012, Mr Ahmad Shahid, UN envoy on Human right abuse to Iran -Iran being unique in having a "special envoy on human rights" assigned to it by UN - Confirmed reports of Rape and Torture in Islamic Republic's jails.
Every Iranian knows what has been going on behind the locked doors of Evin and hundreds of other known and unknown prisons of Islamist regime. We all know about rape, torture and murder of political prisoners.
Those who have been living in vaccume for the past 34 years can just do a brief internet search on this topic. I did, and this is what I came up with , just the top few....
Doctors examining Kazemi's body found evidence of rape, torture and a skull fracture
or
New reports of Rape in Iranian prisons
or
Surviving Rape In Islamic republic's jails
or
IHRDC publishes report on Rape in Iranian prisons.
or

or

or

or

or
samples of shocking reports of Rape and Torture in Islamic regime's prisons
or
Ahmad Shahid (UN special Envoy )confirming reports of Rape and Torture in Irannian prisons.
or
....
Well, based on all the evidence, I for one fully understand and agree with the term "Islamist rapists" being used within the context of describing the behaviour of Islamic Republic towards it's citizens.
It is rather noteworthy…
by Bavafa on Tue Jul 10, 2012 09:21 AM PDTSome folks gladly come to this column of ‘Prisoner of the day’ to defend and counter any message about Israel atrocities, yet they never bothered to show up and express their support for the Iranian freedom seekers in IRI prison.
Talk about loyalty!!!!

Iranians of all walks of life taking a stand for their freedom and just rights. They are to be commanded and supported by all freedom loving folks.
Iranians need to stand united in their support for these brave souls, support their goals and aspiration for a free independent and prospers Iran.
Foreign nations which thru their apartheid policy practice the same insanity and unjust detentions cannot be a good example for the future of Iran and need not to apply.

dear friends (all users of the site)
by Souri on Tue Jul 10, 2012 08:33 AM PDTAs I said before, I stand my case. This is an Iranian site for expressing our views, on a base of free speech.
Unfortunately, I have no time nor interest to come here every day and prove anything to you.
Today I will be busy preparing a long trip for a couple of weeks.
So I will have less time and access to the internet, during my vacation until the end of the month.
I think I have already said what I must say in this regard, in multiple comments which I have posted in this column , since couple of days. Read all of them, if you need/want to be more informed.
Wishing you all the bests;

You talked to me, I talked to you.
You objected to me, I objected to you.
You gave your reasons, I gave my reasons to you.
Now, do whatever you want, honey. Nobody is holding you back from following your Israeli "valih faghih" of the site, who cares?
I stand my case.

Faramarz jon jooni, then google also the word "Islamist"....
by Souri on Tue Jul 10, 2012 08:14 AM PDTand "Islamist Rapist"....
To see that it comes only in iranianl.com.
and the words "Islamic + Rapist or rape" combined, come only in the links about other countries than Iran!
What is this game, with all of you?!!
This is stupid!
By repeating systematically the "Islamist Rapist Regime" you will limit the crimes of the IRI only to the "rape of the prisoners". Do you think this is the only crime they do?
Try instead the words "The Criminal Regime of the Islamic Republic of IRan)
And see if I will ever object to it!
You are all following Fred's doctrine, without paying attention to what he is really intend to do!
By repeating "slamist Rapist" every where, he wants to make this adjective familiar to the public ears! He has only a Zionist goal. Nothing for the love of Iranians in his heart. He wants to attack Islam and through this, the Palestinians.
This is not the priority for me!
And this should not be your and other true Iranians's priotity!
What do Iranian political prisoners have to do with Israel?!!
by Onlyiran on Tue Jul 10, 2012 07:54 AM PDTLet's assume that Israel rapes prisoners. What does that have to do with the plight of Iranian political prisoners? There are also millions of cases of rape in Congo. What does that have to do with us?
This whole false comparison of mentioning Israel in everything that happens in Iran, and to Iranians, is a well known IRI tactic that it has used for the past 33 years to survive. It's a despicable attempt at diverting attention which its supporters have become accustomed to using.
And this "Souri" character is now on a mission, thinking that she is proving a point, at the expense of jailed and tortured Iranians. Absolutely disgusting!

by Faramarz on Tue Jul 10, 2012 07:45 AM PDTImitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Sorry, the real Rapist Regime is Israel

Simorgh is very polite when he calls this a hypocrisy.
It's more along the lines of beyond absurdity.
Would it kill the admin to use an advertisment logo for cheap calls to Iran without that monsterous spider flag, reminding us of all the loved ones that have been killed by thugs of Isalmic Repoublic of Hell saluting to that hideous spider falg?

Islamist Rapists
by Fred on Tue Jul 10, 2012 03:42 AM PDTThe costly “reform” charade by regime forces was their last ploy. The only way left for emancipation of Iran and Iranians from 34 years of messianic Islamist Rapist barbarism is REGIME CHANGE.
Backbreaking airtight sanctions plus air/naval quarantine is a must, the tighter the squeeze, the sooner the disintegration of the entire Islamist murder Inc.
