Topic: Another round of executions in Iran

Your Excellency:

My compatriots and I are greatly concerned about the continued violation of human rights in Iran. The clerical regime continues to repress citizens, arresting activists and dissidents, and threatening them with executions, in an attempt to intimidate our compatriots.

On numerous occasions I have issued statements to the press and sent urgent letters to your esteemed office stressing the dire conditions of my compatriots who have been maimed and tortured in prisons. I wish to draw your attention in particular to the case of the following individuals:

Mr. Ahmad Daneshpour Moghaddam
Mr. Mohsen Daneshpour Moghaddam
Mr. Abdulreza Ghanbari
Mr. Mohammad Ali Saremi
Mr. Jaafar Kazemi
Mr. Mohammad Ali Hadj Agha-ee

The crime of these prisoners, has been their protesting of the last “so-called” election, and have consequently been sentenced to death. Their execution is imminent!

Sadly, there are many others whose detentions and even executions are unbeknownst to the world media and governments.

Many, if not all political prisoners in Iran are routinely brutalized and held in solitary confinement in spite of the specific objections of the United Nations. Unfortunately, the clerical regime has so far ignored these warnings as well as all the urgent appeals made by international human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

As we are all aware human rights and fundamental freedoms are one of the sacred basic purposes of the UN Charter. Thus, I urgently request your Excellency’s personal intervention on behalf of all political prisoners in Iran, to put as much pressure as possible on the clerical regime to immediately stop such practices and free all political prisoners without delay.

With best regards,


Reza Pahlavi
