To: Human
Rights Organizations and Activists of the World
On the occasion of 54th
anniversary of International Day of Human Rights, for your information, we
would like to draw a picture of human rights violations in Iran.
This report merely
covers the seven month period since March 2005, when the UN Human Rights
Commission failed to place Islamic Republic of Iran on the agenda of it’s
latest meeting in Geneva.
The following statistics
were collected from domestic news services and publications in Iran. One should
bear in mind that due to media censorship, lack of freedom of unofficial news
agencies, as well as limitations imposed on the activities of human rights
organizations in Iran, true figures of these violations tend to be much larger
that the ones reported below.
Reported
Human Rights Violations from April through October 2005
1- Student activists summoned and interogated 254 cases
2- Trial and conviction of students by
“Discilipnary
Committees” and judiciary 66 “
3- Detention of students 8 “
4- Banned student publications 6 “
5- Forced interogatin of journalists and blogers 46 “
6- Detention of journalists 10 “
7- Trial and conviction of journalists and
blogers 21 “
8- Banned publications and internet news sites 12 “

25- Mass

26-
Disqualification of presidential and parliamentary elections 1158 “
As demonstrated by these
statistics, it is obvious that, contarary to claims by the government, they are not merely isolated acts of a few
overzealous agents. They rather clearly show that the government of Isalmic
Republic of Iran employes all resources available towards the continuious,
systematic, and widespread violations of the human rights of Iranaian people.
Therfore, based on these facts, as well as the fact that
Islamic Republic of Iran repeatedly reneged on it’s commitments to
international human rights organizations, we urge you to do your utmost to
acheive the condemnation of government of Islamic Republic of Iran in the
General Assembly and Human Rights Commission of the United Nations.
