An opponent of the death penalty from Iran has won a prestigious international human rights award, its organisers said on Wednesday. Emad Baghi, founder of the Society for the Defense of Prisoners' Rights, was selected as laureate of the 2009 Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders. Baghi's documenting of death row prisoners in Iran, including juvenile offenders, has served as an important resource for United Nations and other rights groups outside the country.

Attention: not so smart,ass

What the hell are you babbling about? You give way too much credit to others (Zions, AIPAC, and god know who else) but because Mr.Baghi has done something positive for our own people, you label him something he is not?
How much do you get paid from IRT (Islamic Republic of Terrorists)? they hired you, they are not smart but ass.

Proof that SCE and similar are anti-Iran and pro-ZioNazis

These organizations help demonize Iran in the international arena by pretending to be working for human rights. They help create a case for sanctions which kills thousands of Iranians children under the excuse that a few murderers and rapists have more precious rights than the rest of Iran. And of course the Israeli right wing criminals and the AIPAC spy agency is right behind them cheering them on. Shame on such organizations and their irresponsible acts.
