LETTER
10-Oct-2010 (8 comments)
Our people have made a pact with our students and the university. They have signed a pact for freedom of expression to survive, for joy and happiness to enter each household, for violence to be denounced so decisively that it will never again find any opportunity for expression, for the chains binding opinion and thought to be broken forever… for liberty and democracy and human rights and prosperity to be implemented. Our people have a hard pact and you, the students, have a hard task in front of you. But I know that your determination will prevail and dictatorship, even if it once again channels all its power into violence, will be defeated>>>

همه زير كرسي مي‌خوابيدند. كرسي از ابتكارات ننجون بود. وقتي كارمندان شركت نفت هم به انقلابيون پيوستند و اعتصاب كردند و نفت و گاز و بنزين توزيع نمي‌شد، بابا راه ديگري براي گرم كردن خانه نداشت. برگشتيم به عصر قجر و كرسي ذغالي. ما مشكلي نداشتيم. عمودكتر هميشه از جاي نامعلومي نفت پيدا مي‌كرد. برايم اهميتي نداشت از كجا، اما آن‌قدر نبود كه خانه‌ي بابا را هم گرم كند.

I call upon public opinion and educated and impartial human beings to judge the way the laws and trial procedures were implemented in my arrest, detention, interrogation, trial, and sentencing. I wish for that judgment to be placed on a page of the history of this era in order to show the way I have had to endure the present situation, putting my best asset, my life, out of my control like this. If we focus on the fact that everyone’s life is his most valuable asset, we will heed caution in issuing prison sentences or illegal detention orders>>>

اقدام آمریکا در تحریم هشت مقام امنیتی و قضایی جمهوری اسلامی بیشتر جنبه نمادین دارد و در عین حال حامل دو پیام مهم است. یکی خطاب به حاکمان در ایران که دایره فشارهای بین‌المللی بر آنان روز به روز تنگ‌تر خواهد شد، و دیگری خطاب به مردم ایران که آمریکا با آنان دشمنی ندارد و نه تنها حساب آنان را از حساب حکومت جدا کرده و بلکه در دفاع از آنان حاضر است بر حکومت فشار وارد کند>>>

از مجاهدان وبلاگستان یاسر میردامادی می‌تواند یاسر احمد (ص) باشد. اکبر گنجی هم باید ابولهب باشد. اسمش را می‌گذاریم اکبر لهب. تبت یدا اکبر لهب و تب (نوبه). خلاصه اینکه برای همه جا هست. ریا نباشد برای خودم هم سهمی در نظر گرفته‌ام. انگشتان ناقصی دارم (گریه حضار) که آن را هم تقدیم می‌کنم و مقام تایپیست وحی‌های منزل به احمد (ص) را برای خودم کنار می‌گذارم. تعریف از خود نباشد در این کار استعداد هم دارم>>>

I try to call Tabarzadi’s family every few weeks. There is so little that can be done outside of Iran to help his case. However, what I have realized through this last imprisonment, is that very little is known about him in the English-speaking media. In Iran he has a large following. He is known for his work before and after 18 Tir. This morning when I spoke with his son, Hossein, I asked him what we could do, and he said, let people outside of Iran know about my father>>>

It is from a position of relative privilege that I sense a strong religious and civic obligation to address the most pressing injustices that face our nation today and beseech the rest of my community to do the same. I know that many Muslims, as well as Jews and Christians, may think that homosexuality is wrong based on their readings of their religious texts. And while I wholeheartedly disagree with them, I still appeal to them to follow the greater teachings of our respective faiths>>>
MARRIAGE

In the past month the government has pursued the passage of laws through parliament that would roll back what limited legal rights women are granted in Iran. In late August, a controversial bill, ironically dubbed the "Family Protection Bill," was reintroduced to the Iranian parliament after languishing three years while tabled for review. Articles 22, 23 and 24, seek to impose heavy taxation of women's alimony and dowry, remove the requirement to register temporary marriages, and eliminate the need for a husband to prove financial solvency or ask his wife's permission before marrying another woman>>>
STONING
29-Sep-2010
Last year, under public pressure, Ahmadinejad outrageously declared that Neda had been killed by protestors rather than the regime’s own security forces. This year, he has outrageously announced that Sakineh was never sentenced to death by stoning. The reason for his absurd claim is not that there is any truth in it but because of the massive international protest movement against stoning and executions in Iran led by the International Committee against Stoning and the International Committee against Execution>>>

خانم رهنورد در مصاحبه اخیر خود با نیک‌آهنگ کوثر در سایت «خودنویس» از این قتل عام تحت عنوان «جنایت» و «لکه‌های سیاهی ... که به آب زمزم و کوثر سفید نتوان کرد» یاد کرده است. فراموش نکنیم که رهبران اصلاح‌طلب در جمهوری اسلامی تا همین یکی دو سال گذشته حتا به ندرت حاضر می‌شدند در مورد این فاجعه سخنی بگویند. و اکنون زهرا رهنورد در عین این که از همسرش به عنوان یک «مذهبی دوست‌دار امام خمینی» یاد می‌کند ابایی ندارد که قتل عام سال ۶۷ را جنایت و لکه سیاه بنامد.>>>
INJUSTICE

More than a year and a half after being arrested and held without charges, a sham trial began in January of this year in which the lawyers defending the seven religious leaders were given barely an hour’s access to their clients. Strung out over half a year, six hasty courtroom sessions were held, each one characterized by a lack of due process. The abbreviated but slow-moving trial came to an abrupt end on June 14 with convictions for all seven prisoners on charges of espionage, propaganda against the Islamic Republic and the establishment of an illegal administration>>>

Hossein had had some conversations with Press TV about working in their Tehran office. Even during the days before his arrest, he would sometimes go to their office since we didn’t have high speed internet at home. Before his return to Iran, the High Council of Iranian Affairs Abroad promised Hossein that his trip would be without problem. He had cleared his trip with this Council which is governmental and which is in contact with the Intelligence Ministry. That’s why even though Hossein knew that they would call him to be questioned, he did not expect to be arrested>>>
