His Excellency
Mr. Koffi Annan
Secretary General of United Nations
1775 K. Street NW, Suite 400
Washington, DC

United States of America
Your Excellency, Mr. Koffi Annan,
Secretary General of United Nations
Mr. Mahmood Ahmadi-Nejad, the newly
nominated President of the Islamic Republic of Iran is set to participate
and deliver a speech on behalf of the people of Iran in the United Nations
annual General Assembly meeting on
15 September 2005.
All Iranian people, journalists and
particularly foreign press monitors that had the opportunity to observe
this fallow play that was called the eight presidential election of Iran
on 24 June 2005 are well aware that:
-
The widespread ballot rigging for
Ahmadi-Nejad led his to main rivals, Karroubi and Rafsanjani in the
first and second round to criticize the heavily manipulative process.
-
The confirmed numbers of votes were
much higher than the actual number of ballots cast.
-
According to the accounts of number of
domestic press monitoring the elections, those appointed by the interior
ministry to monitor the polling stations were beaten and harassed by the
thugs of the bureau of supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.
-
In
Kurdistan
region, the participation level for the most part was under 20 percent
of the eligible voters. The majority of those votes cast were by regimes
army, security forces and other repressive forces that have been brought
to the Kurdish areas and are not Kurdish.
-
Aside from the investigations and
accounts of witness D that are underway in Vienna courts, which
implicates Ahmadi-Nejad’s direct role in the assassination of Dr.
Abdulrahman Ghassemlou and his associates on 13 July 1989 in Vienna,
allegations and investigations of him being one of the captors of the US
embassy officials and diplomats in the 1979 hostage crisis are also in
progress.
Based on these accounts and other
credible evidences, Ahmadi Nejad, appointed as the president of the
Islamic Republic of Iran by the most hardliner elements of the
conservative regime in Iran, is not only unmerited to speak on behalf of
the Iranian people in such a gathering, but also it is quite ethical to
have him brought to justice for all his offenses in an international court
under the supervision of the United Nation.
We consider the presence of Ahmadi-Nejad
and others alike in this annual General Assembly meeting of United Nations
as disrespect and disregard for the international diplomatic conventions,
and place the credibility of the United Nations under doubt by the people
of these countries. Kurdish people and other nationalities of Iran are
against his presence in the meeting, and we express our opposition with
this letter.
Yours sincerely,
Mustafa Hejri
Secretary General
Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan
