Göttingen,
11 December
2003
On
the international
day of human
rights, when
the Iranian
human rights defender Mrs.
Shirin Ebadi
is awarded
with the
Nobel Peace Prize
in Oslo, the
Soceity for Threatened
Peoples was
alarmed by information about
the execution
of two Iranian
Kurdish activists.
Mr.
Jalil Zewai,
who was
imprisoned in 1994
was executed on
December 4th 2003. Mr.
Ramin SHarifi
was arrested
on July 8th 2003 and
exectuted on
December 6th 20003.
We
urgently appeal
to you to condemn
these executions.
As a member state of
the European
Union your country will
be responsible for
the dialogue with
Iran. The dialogue
will only have a positive
effect on the
implementation of
the democracy
and human
rights in Iran or on
the civil and
human rights
situation if the
democratic western states namely
the EU member
states and candidates, do
protest forcefully
against severe
human rights
violations like
these mentioned
above.
Therefore,
we urgently
appeal to you
to do every thing
in your power to
prevent the
execution of nine more
political prisoners
of Kurdish origin :
1. Arshad
Reza-ee ,
born 1962, father
of three children.
2. Muhammad
Azeez Ghaddere,
born 1953, father
of two children.
3. Youness
Mohammad-Poor, born
1970.
4. Mozaffar
Kazammi, born
1975.
5. Ma’roof
Sohrabi, born
1976.
6. Adnan
Isma-eeli, born
1975.
7. Hassan
Jazayerchi, born
1954, father of one child.
8. Majid
Sadafi, born
1969, father of one child.
9. Kamil
Ostad Ahmadi,
born 1972, father
of two children.
Two
other political
prisoners of
Kurdish origin are
supposed to be
already condemned
to death :
Hassan
Mahmudi, 30 years,
improned since
1997.
Isamil
Mohammedi, 30 years,
imprisoned 2001.
Fully
trusting in the
good will of
the European
governments we
ask you to
inform us about
your intiatives in
this matter
and thank
you in advance
for any steps
you take to
save the
life of mentioned
persons.
Sincerely,
Tilman
Zülch, president
Society for Threatened Peoples
