Below is the appalling character asassination of an Iranian woman, Sharzad Gholikhan, by a Miami news paper; Sharzad (a mother of 2) was arrested because her husband bought binoculars (that are legal to own but not to ship); and very few of the people expressing concern for the purported hikers convicted in Iran say anything about the treatment of this woman (or other Iranians mistreated by legal systems outside of Iran). That's shocking to me.
These are all quotes from a Miami Newspaper below -- I want you to imagine if the hikers were described in this way.
QUOTES FROM THE MIAMI PAPER - APPALLING JOURNALISM & CHARACTER ASSASSINATION:
"She dressed stylishly, in Western clothes, with makeup and jewelry."
"her shady ex-husband's international plot, an unwitting victim of both Muslim traditions "
"She was a slick operative"
"Gholikhan wanted to meet for an interview, but jailers at the Federal Detention Center in Miami forbade it."
"Sexual urges are accommodated by "temporary marriage".
" If a stranger man would ever see only one hair of yours," her grandmother would say, "you are going to be hanged in Hell forever and ever with only that one hair, because you sinned!"
" When she disembarked, five officers fingerprinted her and seized her passport and thousands of dollars in jewelry. "
And at trial, the prosecutor described Sharzad, 26 at the time of her trial, as intelligent, resourceful, cunning, manipulative, deceitful, and independent." How the hell would he know? The transaction for the binoculars took place in Austria. Imagine if Iran's courts had given statements about the *hikers* in this fashion - a lot of people would have criticized the courts in Iran, but people where are you on the issue of Sharzad? Your kids in the diaspora may face similar treatment in the future.
HERE'S THE AGENT'S TESTIMONY AS TO WHAT HAPPENED TO EVIDENCE OF HER GUILT:
"At the time, I believed it was recorded. Did I check to see that the equipment was functioning? That someone pressed record? I requested assistance from the Austrians to provide the evidence. I couldn't demand it. I could only ask for it." Later, Kriske (the investigator) contradicted himself, saying he didn't record the meeting because it would have been illegal under Austrian law.
Sharzad was denied the right to have her family visit her, even though she has 2 young children; she was also convicted twice (once in Austria she served 1 month in prison and now she is in a U.S. prison on the same offense).
Sharzad Gholikhan said she felt "the prejudice of the American nation."
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL SILENT ON THE ISSUE:
And to those who say that Amnesty International and other rights groups did not have the resources to call attention to her I simply ask what resources did Amnesty require to post a 1 minute entry on their website about an Iranian-woman (and mother of 2) imprisoned on the basis that husband tried to buy some night-time binoculars ? Don't you think Amnesty could have diverted $2 of the budget they allocated to the world-wide media blitz they devoted to the *hikers* ?
WHY THE CASE OF THE HIKERS DOES NOT BOTHER ME AS MUCH:
My view is that under any government and under any judicial system, there appears to have been enough evidence to detain, charge, and convict the so-called *hikers* -- I can very easily see how a Judge in another jurisdiction could reach a conclusion that they were guilty. That doesn't mean I agree with every case tried before the courts of Iran.
I ASK MYSELF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANTIAL FACTS OF THE CASE:
* Who in their right mind, would ever take a chance to go into hostile territory for a hike?
* From among that population of *hikers* in California, what are the chances that 2 people, at least one of the Jewish faith, would want to go in the precise location where sectarian military violence is taking place between several competing Muslim factions?
* (Note: Think about how bizarre it would be for an American to get caught hiking on the German border during World War 2 or vice versa.)
* Add that the countries that the *hikers* originate from are actively funding and promoting terror groups on the same border (U.S. & Israeli politicians routinely and publicly support MEK and PJAK).
* Add that the countries the *hikers* are linked to (the U.S. and Israel) are beating the war drums against Iran, threatening to bomb Iran to the stone age almost on a daily basis while they both maintain a military presence near that border.
* Add that the country the *hikers* originate from just invaded 2 of the neighboring countries (Iraq and Afghanistan).
* Add that one of the alleged co-participants (Sara Shourd) jumped bail and that fleeing is often admitted as evidence of consciousness of guilt in criminal trials (I provided a link for that).
* Add that the U.S. has a history of sending operatives into Iran to manipulate the political landscape (Have you forgotten about Mosadegh? ... I promise the Judge didn't.)
If you don't see how authorities can form a reasonable suspicion to arrest and charge the *hikers*, you're only kidding yourself. By automatically making it a *human rights* violation you're also cheapening genuine human rights violations; and endangering others.
A judge may very well have found -- based on the CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence -- that these 2 were involved in some form of intelligence gathering, meeting a contact at the border, delivering cash to operatives already in iran, or a number of acts that most other governments would object to under these same circumstances. In espionage cases, you never learn all of the details (or even in regular criminal cases).
The hikers were convicted after a trial and represented by a lawyer. Now you might not be happy with the trial that they got; however, they had lawyers and received some form of legal process (the Iranian woman represented herself). I raise this point also because the U.S. diminished its own moral authority to complain about trial standards when it started rounding up 'middle eastern' looking men, sending them to Guantanamo Bay Cuba WITHOUT TRIAL & WITHOUT A LAWYER for and INDEFINITE amount of time -- Not to mention that some of those 'detainees' were not even captured on the U.S. border (but in their home countries) and many were tortured: Have you forgotten the pictures of people standing naked holding electrical wires or having to rub human excrement on themselves? Have you forgotten the detainees that died while being interrogated?)
The *hikers* were properly arrested and the Judge used his common sense in reaching a verdict - that's what I believe happened. The reality is that a similar process takes place in U.S. courts every day (and even U.S. courts sometimes incorrectly convict a person).

Thank you BoosBoos
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Wed Aug 24, 2011 04:41 PM PDTThank you for writing this blog and bringing her plight to our attention. I do not know the details of this case I admit it. Not knowing means I am not going to put my foot in my mouth and take a major stance.
But I am going to do my homework and inform myself. I would suggest other people also do the same thing. Knee jerk reactions are not helpful. Most of us probably do not know what really happened in this instance.
I am bothered that so many people automatically assume she is guilty. While at the same time assuming the hikers were innocent. All I ask is to have an open mind and do the home work.
Selling out your own country is a shame
by BoosBoos on Wed Aug 24, 2011 04:10 PM PDTHere's the difference between an Iranian buying binoculars and the 3 hikers. Iran can purchase all of the binoculars in the world, but Iran can't attack the continental United States with binoculars (I don't care if the binoculars could see Santa Claus sitting on the moon in his underwear). In contrast, the U.S. and Israel have been sponsoring terrorists directly on Iran's border; coordinating assassinations of civilians in Iran; and waging a public-relations campaign to "bomb Iran" - To carry out and coordinate those activities you need boots on the ground (real people) and both Israel and the U.S. are DIRECTLY ON IRAN'S BORDERS (the binoculars are a million miles away from Washington D.C. - they can't directly affect someone sitting in Chicago). When the three so-called *hikers* were apprehended they were right on Iran's border. They were arrested for what they did and because it was a proximate security risk to Iran.
Now I understand that some people on here are not really Iranians - and that they are pushing the agendas of other countries (or perhaps even Iranian separatist groups). But I promise: patriotic Iranians "get it." Preserving national security is something that's independent of who is in office in Iran or who you want to be in office.

You should be an akhoondzadeh or very kaflah to believe that they arrest someone just because her ex bought a binocular.

مرداد 1384 روزی به یادماندنی در تاریخ مبارزات مردم کردستان
Hooshang Tarreh-GolWed Aug 24, 2011 02:03 AM PDT
روز 18 تیرماه سال 1384 مامورین جمهوری اسلامی یکی از مبارزان شهر مهاباد
به نام "کمال اسفرام" معروف به "شوانه سید قادری" را به قصد دستگیری
دنبال کردند. آنان پس از ناتوانی در دستگیری "شوانه" وی را به رگبار گلوله
بستند و زخمی كردند. دژخیمان این جوان زخمی را شکنجه دادند، او را کشتند و
جنازه مثله شده اش را با بی احترامی حمل کردند و به خانواده اش تحویل
دادند. قصد آنان از این عمل ددمنشانه مرعوب ساختن مردم بود، اما نتیجه عکس
گرفتند. اهالی شهر به محض مطلع شدن از جنایت مامورین رژیم، دسته جمعی در
مقابل منزل این جوان مبارز جمع شدند، با خانواده وی همدردی کردند و نفرت
خود از رژیم را نشان دادند.
روزهای
19 و 20 تیرماه مردم معترض مهاباد و به ویژه زنان و مردان جوان با
تظاهرات خیابانی و سردادن شعارهای ضد رژیمی به سرکوبگران نشان دادند که
اعمال جنایتکارانه آنان بی جواب نخواهد ماند. در روز 21 تیر تظاهرات دامنه
وسیع تری به خود گرفت و یورش نیروهای سرکوبگر رژیم با مقاومت و مقابله
رزمندگان شهر مواجه گردید. سرکوبگران تا دندان مجهز در تهاجم خود از
پشتیبانی هلیکوپتر برخوردار بودند. در کشاكش های بین سرکوبگران و معترضین
50 نفر از تظاهرکنندگان دستگیر شدند. روز 22 تیر اهالی مهاباد برای نشان
دادن اعتراض بیشتر به رفتار خشونت آمیز ماموران و میلیتاریزه کردن شهر در
کنار تداوم تظاهرات خود، مغازه ها را بستند و مراکز کار را تعطیل کردند
به
دنبال تظاهرات، رویارویی دلیرانه و اعتراضات توده ای در مهاباد، تظاهرات و
اعتراضات علیه جمهوری اسلامی به دیگر شهرهای کردستان ایران سرایت کرد.
مردم مبارز و جوانان انقلابی در شهرهای اشنویه، پیرانشهر، بانه، سقز،
سردشت، مریوان، سنندج، دیواندره و بوکان به تظاهرات و اعتراضات پیوستند و
با محکوم کردن اقدامات سرکوبگرانه رژیم خواهان تحقق خواست های خود شدند که
عبارت بودند از معرفی و مجازات آمران و عاملان جنایات اخیر، آزادی فوری
دستگیر شدگان و توقف کشتار در کردستان.
مقامات
جمهوری اسلامی به جای جواب دادن به خواست بر حق اهالی از یک طرف نیروهای
سرکوبگر و به شدت تقویت شده اش را به جان مردم انداخت.
این
مبارزات گرچه مطالبات روشن داشت، اما به طور پراکنده در شهرهای مختلف
کردستان پیش می رفت و جنگ و گریز خیابانی به حرکاتی پر تلفات تبدیل شده
بود. در شهر سقز افراد مسلح رژیم بر روی مردم تظاهركننده آتش گشودند، عده
ای جان باختند و شمار زیادی زخمی شدند. لحظه ای فرا رسیده بود که می بایست
قدرت مردم مبارز در یک حرکت سازمانیافته و هماهنگ به دشمن نشان داده شود.
کومه له سازمان کردستان حزب کمونیست ایران، به این منظور روز 16 مرداد
1384 را روز اعتصاب عمومی در کردستان اعلام کرد. فراخوان کومه له طی
اطلاعیه ای که در روز 11 مرداد منتشر گردید به اطلاع عموم رسید. در
اطلاعیه پس از اشاره ای کوتاه به چند هفته کشمکش پر از رشادت مردم کردستان
در مقابل سرکوبگران، خواست های مردم به صورت زیر جمع بندی شد:
معرفی و مجازات آمران و عاملان جنایات اخیر در شهر مهاباد و دیگر شهرهای کردستان.
آزادی فوری و بدون قید و شرط همه دستگیر شدگان.
عادی کردن فضای شهرها و بازگرداندن نیروهای تقویتی به مراکز خویش.
به رسمیت شناختن حقوق مردم برای تظاهرات و بیان عدم رضایت در جهت تحقق خواست های مذکور.
با
پخش فراخوان كومه له، فعالین و پیشروان کارگری و جوانان و پیشروان سایر
جنبش های اجتماعی در کردستان در جهت آماده سازی برای به پیروزی رساندن
اعتصاب عمومی دست به کار شدند، همزمان نیروهای رژیم برای ممانعت از تحقق
این اعتصاب عمومی اقدامات تهدیدآمیز و پیشگیرانه خود را آغاز كردند و
سازمان های سیاسی مخالف نیز از هیچ اقدام محلی برای جلوگیری از پیروزی
اعتصاب خوداری نكردند و حتی یكی از آنها كه متاسفانه نام كومه له را هم بر
خود نهاده است كار را به جایی رساند كه رسما از مردم خواست كه در این
حركت اعتراضی شركت نكنند. علیرغم همه این تمهیدات، روز 16 مرداد میلیون ها
زن و مرد معترض با بستن مغازه ها، کارگاهها، ادارات، مدارس و سایر مراکز
کار مشت محکمی بر دهان جمهوری اسلامی کوبیدند و بی اعتنایی خود را به
فراخوان های منفی به مخالفین نشان دادند. مردم معترض در شهرهای مهاباد،
سقز، بوکان، سنندج، اشنویه، پیرانشهر، بانه، سردشت، ربط، مریوان، کامیاران
و دیواندره و شهرها و مناطق روستایی دیگر كردستان به صورتی گسترده به
استقبال فراخوان آمدند. در شهرهای نقده و ارومیه نیز بخش قابل توجهی از
مردم شهر در اعتصاب عمومی شرکت نمودند.
این
اعتصاب پیروز و شکوهمند به عنوان یک روز تاریخی در پیشینه مردم مبارز
کردستان ثبت گردید. این اعتصاب بار دیگر نشان داد علیرغم تمام جنایات و
توطئه هایی که جمهوری اسلامی در کردستان مرتکب شده است، اراده مردم در
مقابله بار رژیم محکم تر و صفوف آنان متحدتر گشته است. پیروزی این اعتصاب
در همانحال که ریشه در چند دهه مبارزه مالامال از فداکاری مردم داشت، از
رهگذر جسارت و مبارزه پیگیرانه و یکماهه مبارزین شهر مهاباد و سایر شهرهای
کردستان تثبیت گردید. با این اعتصاب پیروزمند، سراسری، سازمانیافته و
سنجیده مبارزه مردم علیه رژیم وارد مرحله تازه ای گردید. در این مرحله کار
و مبارزه هدفمند، سازمانیافته و با برنامه نقشی موثرتر در مبارزات
کارگران و توده مردم ایفا نمود. رژیم که قدرت مبارزه متحدانه مردم را
مشاهده کرده بود، روز بعد از اعتصاب عمومی ریاکارانه هیئتی از اعضای مجلس
اسلامی خود را روانه شهرهای کردستان کرد تا به اصطلاح از مردم دلجویی
کنند. اعضای هیئت مذبور با یاوه های مقامات رسمی، نظیر امام جمعه و
فرمانداران شهرها، صفحاتی را سیاه کرده و عملا خواست های مردم را پشت گوش
انداختند، اما درس های اعتصاب عمومی به ذخیره پایان ناپذیر تجارب غنی مردم
برای تداوم جنبش انقلابی کردستان افزوده شد.
با
استفاده از این درس و تجربه غنی بود که یکبار دیگر مردم مبارز کردستان در
اعتراض به اعدام فرزاد کمانگر و یارانش، اعتصاب شکوهمند ۲۳ اردیبهشت ماه
سال 1389 را برپا داشتند.
حركت
مردمی 16 مرداد سال 1384 اولین اعتصاب عمومی و سراسری بود كه بعد از 26
سال در كردستان در چنین مقیاس شكوهمندی انجام می پذیرفت. این روز به تاریخ
پرافتخار مبارزات مردم كردستان پیوست. گرامی باد یاد این روز تاریخی،
پیروز باد جنبش انقلابی مردم كردستان.

I know what Komalah is up to; it's an armed separatist group (see link): Iranians will reject it. There are about 200 million speakers of Persian languages - including the Tajiks of Afghanistan who defeated the USSR at the height of its military power. Trust me, these armed Communist groups will only bring misery upon themselves from several directions, Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq ... you're setting yourself up for horrible failure.

B: The fact that CPI has been in forefront and a consistent leader of political, economic and military struggle gaginst IR for the past 32 years makes it one of the few, some would say THE ONLY, such formation in Iran, obviously very attractive for all who despise IR. That's a whole lot of Iranians. But above and beyond that, it's the utter poverty and lawlessness, misery and the all the corruption created by IR that has made CPI such a pole of attraction, especially for the youth.
C: CPI's bases and HQ were more than once attacked by Sadam's air force, with chemical weapons, only because of CPI independent political line, and our condemnation of the reactionary 8 year war between Iran and Iraq. Komala and CPI have long been admired and respected exactly because of our independent thinking.
D: Your 40 years old SAVAKi propaganda of calling all internal opposition, agents of foriegners is way too pathetic and old. It didn't work for Shah, it's not working for IR

Pushing a militant communist agenda is not something the majority of iranians will accept -- you have to come around to the fact that a minority of people cannot force a majority into this position.
The more you push - the more you also push kids into heartbreaking situations; actually the responsibility is on hard-headed militants that are really the pawns of other nations' agendas.

You're not going to get sympathy from me for PJAK Houshang
by BoosBoos on Wed Aug 24, 2011 12:31 AM PDTHooshang, every country regardless of who is in its governmentwill combat armed and seditious political factions (you can't take the law into your own hands and form a militia) -- it's no secret that PJAK (and the armed Kurdish movement that preceded it) sought to violate Iran's territorial integrity and partition Iran. That's the real reason those people are being shot in your picture. The present government of Iran doesn't have sympathy for that conduct; the Pahlavi government didn't have sympathy for that conduct; and no future government of Iran will have sympathy for armed separatist gangs that are against law and order and will cause injury to the nation and its people. It's no secret that Kurdish groups -- working with Israel -- constantly place content on the internet wishing the demise of Iran; the partition of Iranian land (more than 2,500 years as a part of Iran -- Iran is NOT Turkey); and they express hostility to the non-Kurdish people of Iran. What do you expect? Flowers and chocolates? It's no secret that PJAK and PKK are on the terror list of several countries, including the U.S. Even the U.S. fought its bloodiest war when the South tried to secede from the North -- the U.S. celebrates that victory and I will celebrate the victory of Iran (regardless of who is in power) over any armed separatist faction. I value Kurds as a people - but not the movement you are trying to advocate on behalf of through pictures that falsely seek sympathy. Let me remind you that Kurds also participated in the Armenian genocide (where 1.5 million Armenians were killed); I can't imagine any Iranian government letting Kurdish militant groups run wild through Iran. It's not going to happen. You can't build a new country on top of a preexisting country with a history of more than 2,500 years, like Iran. The sooner you realize that; the happier you'll be.

What is more curious about your "sensetivites" and inclination is the fact that in a country as repressed and oppresed as Iran, where every single day we have political prisoners sent to jail, or the ones in jail being tortured, abused or worse ( as we say in Persia: of all the prophets, you've chosen Jerjis). Hundreds and thousands of honorable, couragous, proud Iraninas are jailed in Iran, but no, you don't deem any of them worthy of your kind KKK attention, but as your very first blog on this site, you chose an IR smuggler to defend. Enough said.
"Welcomeback" Abji Nilo, we kinda of missed you, I guess!

by BoosBoos on Tue Aug 23, 2011 11:27 PM PDTHooshang Tarreh-Gol you have no argument? Just propaganda? Why are you so devoted to promoting three non-Iranian hikers while ignoring the plight of Iranians?
If you can't overcome substantive points, I'll assume you agree with what I wrote then ...
And why are you accepting $100 donations on behalf of the *hikers* on a Kurdish site?
Who is NP?
by BoosBoos on Tue Aug 23, 2011 11:21 PM PDTWho is Niloufar Parsi? It's somehow pertinent to the story? Confusing.
