As 2010 draws nearer to the end, it marks another year of bloody terror
and oppression of the Iranian peole. I am eagerly awiting Amnesty
International's country report which will highlight documented evidence
of executions, extra-judicial killings, rape, torture, false
imprisonment and oppression of religious and ethnic minorities. Amnesty
reported in 2009 that 'at least 346 people were executed, including at
least eight juvenile
offenders sentenced for crimes committed when they were under 18. The
actual totals were likely to have been higher, as the authorities
restricted reporting of executions'. The exact figures relating to executions in 2010 have not been published but Human Rights Watch reports that the human rights situation in Iran has become progressively worse, especially prison conditions:
Many of those arrested reported being beaten or tortured, and in some
cases sexually assaulted in prisons and secret detention facilities. A
parliamentary inquiry determined in early 2010 that Deputy Prosecutor
Saeed Mortazavi was directly responsible for the deaths of at least
three detainees from torture and neglect in Kahrizak prison, which the
judiciary had ordered shut down three years ago. Beginning in August, the Judiciary staged show trials of hundreds
of prominent reformers and activists allegedly connected with "rioters"
attempting to promote a "velvet revolution." During these trials, many
of these dissidents gave televised confessions that appeared coerced.
These confessions implicated the detainees in vaguely worded security
crimes described in lengthy indictments filed by Revolutionary Court
prosecutors. Some of those put on trial received lengthy prison terms
and several were sentenced to death.

It would be appropriate at this time to remember a few of our fellow compatriots whose young lives were taken from us by the terrorist apparatus of the Islamic Republic:
Mohammad Ali Zamani
Arash Rahmanpour
Zainab Jalilian
Farzad Kamangar
Shirin Alam Hooli
Frahaad Vakili
Mehdi Eslamian
Ali Haydarian
Shahla Jahed.
May their souls rest in Peace.
We should also keep in our thoughts Sakineh Mohmmad Ahstani and Hamid Ghasem-Shallwho who face imminent execution.
Will 2011 mark the year when the terrorist regime of the Mullahs? Will the so-called Free World beging to focus on the Human Rights condition in Iran and not the nuclear issue? Will the shameful Obama Administration and, in particular, Hilary Clinton decide to act more robustly with the terrorist thugs and stop sending terrorists olive branches in a vain attempt for repproachment with the IR? Will other countries learn from the excellent example set by Gambia and Nigeria and show contempt for the IR after insurmountable evidence that it was trying to smuggle arms to Gaza and terrorists in Lebanon? Will the international community come to terms with the fact with the true bloody nature of the IR? Let's hope so.
Death to the Islamic Republic. Free Iran

Dear Mehrban and Roozbeh
by Simorgh5555 on Sun Dec 19, 2010 03:00 AM PSTUpdated. Please feel free to add names of other Iranian innocents murdered by this regime which have not been mentioned. Also add any more names of Iranians whose lives are in danger.
But hear this.....
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Sat Dec 18, 2010 09:47 PM PSTThe Islamist regime is digging it's own grave with these desperate acts of execution. As Yolanda said, executions of Farzad kamangar and his comrades caused a general strike - the very first in history of islamist regime- in Kurdistan, uniting people against the regime as never before.The lines between the regime and people are clearly drawn and we are heading towards the final shodown. Just a matter of time.....
Thank you simorgh for reminding us of our martyrs. One day streets, schools and factories in Iran will be named after these brave souls who paid the ultimate price for their patriotism.
"Personal business must yield to collective interest."
Along with Farzaad Kamangar, Executed on May 9/2010

by Simorgh5555 on Sat Dec 18, 2010 05:10 PM PSTWhat? You don't have a KKK? Americans didn't have bumber stickers on their cars saying 'Nuke Iran until it glows'?Iranians didn't get rounded up and beaten over the hostage crisis? Iranians and middle eastersn do not get routinely harassed at airports in the USA following 9/11? (Ican understand, of course)
Go to the south of USA and the cities populated by African Americans devstated by hurricane Katrina and tell them "we don't have a severe problem".
Ask any Mexican migrant whether he feels welcome in the USA and that he has never suffered discrimination by a US immigration official.
You are hilarious!
I have never met a member of the BNP or the EDF here. They don't have many votes but there are a lot of Islamo-fascists like you living here. You would feel right at home as the UK panders to terrorist loving groupies like you.

by Sargord Pirouz on Sat Dec 18, 2010 04:57 PM PSTAh, so you're an Iranian immigrant with British citizenship.
My advice is contend yourself with British politics. And if you're so inclined to participate in Iranian politics, vote in Iran's elections.
And beware of the English Defense Leaque. They don't like your kind. (We don't have that severe a problem here in the US. Even the Tea Party isn't calling Iranians "Paki" or "Wog")
Simorgh
by Sargord Pirouz on Sat Dec 18, 2010 04:35 PM PSTWe've enough problems here in the US, Simorgh, with two wars we shouldn't be fighting that are killing a lot of innocent civilians. And we have a death penalty. And we've arrested tens of thousands of Iraqis without due process. And we continue to operate black site interogation/detention sites. And we still operate Guantanimo. And we don't prosecute Americans guilty of ordering torture. The list goes on. So why pick on lil' ol' Islamic Republic of Iran unless you have some anti-Iran agenda in mind.
I've asked you this now a couple of times, Simorgh: are you a British citizen?
