یکی از خواص اعدام اعمال قدرت و ایجاد ترس در بنی بشر است و ایجاد ترس در مواقع افول دولت فرخنده و فقر مردم برای بقای نظام بسیار واجب و ضروری می باشد. از این رو آمار اعدام ها در کشورهای دیکتاتوری همیشه بالا می باشد و در دوران خشم و فقر مردم این آمار بالا و بالاتر می رود. حکومت های اقتدارگرا با توسل جستن به اعدام و به خصوص اعدام در ملاء عام میزان ترس را در کنه وجود مردم بالا برده و مدام بر عمر حکومت خویش می افزایند>>>

حضور بی‌تفاوت مردم در صحنه‌های قتل (مانند حادثه سعادت‌آباد) یا اعدام‌های علنی در ایران به درستی تکان‌دهنده و مشمئز کننده است. ولی مگر همه ما ناظر «سونامی اعدام» در ایران نیستیم؟ پس چرا در برابر آن بی‌تفاوت ایستاده‌ایم و واکنشی نشان نمی‌دهیم؟ و واقعا تفاوت کسانی که خبر این اعدام ها را می‌شنوند و دست کم انزجار خود را نشان نمی‌دهند با کسانی که به تماشای صحنه قتل ایستاده‌اند چیست؟ >>>
EXECUTION
16-Jan-2011 (63 comments)
Since the beginning of the New Year, Iran has hanged 47 prisoners, or an average of about one person every eight hours. Iran executes more people per capita than any other country, and in absolute numbers, is second only to China. On Saturday, 15 January 2011, Iran hanged a Kurdish prisoner some Iranian websites have identified as Hossein Khazri, a Kurdish political prisoner on the death row. A local official in the province of Western Azerbaijan told media that “a member of the Pejak (an armed Kurdish guerilla group)” was hanged in Urumiye prison on Saturday morning>>>
OCCUPATION
14-Jan-2011 (7 comments)
Most people know that Iran is occupied by an Islamist regime but not all understand to what degree this occupation pervades. As an Iranian film-maker who was born and raised under the reign of the Islamic regime, I can show in my work the injustice and inequality of my society. Ahmadinejad pushed for militarization of the regime and reestablished the Islamic fundamentalism in Iran, censorship was imposed rapidly and film making and cinema were under complete restriction by the government>>>
ALARM

Zaynab Jalalian, a 27 years old Kurdish woman, was arrested in Kermanshah in early 2007. She was dispatched to the infamous Sanandaj prison soon after. This is the same prison which bears witness to Ehsan Fattahian’s execution, and the tragedy of two sisters Nasrin and Shahla Ka'bi who were violently annihilated. The same place which is plagued by the memory of Shahriar who was forced to carry on his back the tortured body of his brother Ahsan (Nahid) to an untimely and unjust death by the bullets of a firing squad>>>
WHY

Is it possible that Ali Reza Pahlavi was forced to take his own life in protest? Is it possible that he was so psychologically tormented by the human rights violations and atrocities he saw in Islamic Republic and the unjust and unfounded accusations and bullying against his father, the King, that he took his own life as other young Iranians in Iran who have been tortured, imprisoned, and blocked from education and work? Prince Ali Reza's suicide note clearly expresses these feelings>>>
2011
02-Jan-2011
It has been a roller-coaster decade for the media in the Middle East and North Africa -- many who have turned to the Internet to write about human rights and corruption find themselves facing increasingly restrictive measures by the authorities. The meteoric rise of Twitter and Facebook as global communications phenomena created a sub-genre of communication theory and viewer/user interactivity which reshaped the way news organizations planned coverage>>>
EYEWITNESS
29-Dec-2010 (21 comments)
Since [Ali Khamenei's] accession to the throne, I have been in prison and I am unaware what is happening outside... At the same time when I was arrested, an interrogator claimed that there were only a total of 80 political prisoners in the entire country. Right now, there are more than 400 political prisoners only in Evin and Gohardasht prisons. I don’t know about the rest of the country. Besides, in those years, a few party insiders were politically active. Right now, even that does not exist. It isn’t very difficult to determine under what conditions non-political prisoners live>>>
LIFE

مارگریتا با نوازش سرم، بیدارم کرد. منگ کابوس با چشمان نیمه باز گفتم: «اعدام شدند؟» با قطره اشکی که از چشمان مارگریتای انگلیسی به صورتم چکیده شد، از روی تخت بلند شدم. زیر دوش رفتم تا از خواب - بیداری ام بیدار شوم. با اینکه آب کافی به روی تن و صورتم ریخته می شد، حس می کردم دلم می خواست آنقدر آب باشد که غرقم بکند>>>
PANAHI

When world-renowned filmmaker Jafar Panahi was sentenced to six years in prison earlier this week, the verdict reverberated both inside and outside Iran. Not only did authorities in Tehran hand down an exceptionally harsh sentence, they also decreed that the 50-year-old Panahi will be banned from filmmaking, screenwriting and traveling abroad for the next 20 years. According to his relatives, Panahi has also been banned from talking to the media. Along with Panahi, Muhammad Rasoulof, another filmmaker involved with Panahi’s movie, was also sentenced to six years in prison>>>
TERROR
22-Dec-2010 (2 comments)
رژیم ایران و جندالله، دو نیرویی که در دو سوی مسابقه قتل و ترور قرار گرفته‌اند، نشان داده‌اند که جز فرهنگ خشونت و انتقام راه دیگری برای حل مشکلات خود نمی‌شنانسد، و هر یک رفتار دیگری را توجیه کننده واکنش خود می‌دانند. و در این دور باطل خشونت، البته مردم عادی کوچه و بازار هستند که قربانی عملیات تروریستی جندالله می‌گردند، و زندانیان بی‌دفاع بلوچ که دسته دسته به چوبه‌های دار سپرده می‌شوند>>>

هموطنان: نگذاریم فریبکاری، ستمگری، و دروغ و تهمت زنی های مرسوم در برخی از رسانه های داخلی خود را به عرصه رسانه های جهانی بکشانند و با سوء استفاده از کم اطلاعی و ناشی گری خبرنگاران خارجی بر نقض حقوق بشر در ایران سر پوش بگذارند. جهانیان باید بدانند که زندانیان سیاسی و عقیدتی در ایران را دانشجویان، روزنامه نگاران، فعالان حقوق زنان؛ معلمان، وکلا و حقوق دانان، اصلاح طلبان سیاسی، مدافعان حقوق اقوام و اقلیت های مذهبی، کارگران و حتی روحانیان معترض و خشونت پرهیز تشکیل می دهند که حتی بر مبنای قوانین خود جمهوری اسلامی مرتکب جرمی نشده اند>>>
POINT

The new Sakineh confession broadcast on Press TV on Saturday, December 11, is the new episode of the strange "reality" show that the Iranian regime has staged around her case. Even though I have been following this case very closely, it has become difficult for me to keep track of all the new stories that the Iranian authorities have regularly added to it. It seems that they are trying to confuse the world, and I'm afraid that they have been very successful in doing just that>>>
BIRTHDAY

December 10th is my birthday, and it coincides with Human Rights Day. I am grateful to be alive and well, but every year I realize that when it comes to global human rights, things are not any better, and Iran has certainly topped the list in the recent past. I wish I could write a jolly piece but my heart and soul are not joyful these days. Iran last year ranked second in executions, between China and the United States>>>
AMNESTY

A new definition of PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE caught my eye in an email exchange with a friend at Amnesty International. While it included political prisoner, the definition was much broader than what Iranians usually have in mind. I asked Ann Harrison to further explain how Amnesty International defines prisoners of conscience. Ann Harrison, a Middle East specialist, has worked for Amnesty International's Middle East and North Africa Programme for over 13 years in total since 1989>>>
