Risuonare la nostra voce più forte

Chi costituisce un pericolo alla nostra sicurezza nazionale? Le Madri o i governanti?

La minoranza al potere in Iran si sta stringendo la morsa contro i gruppi politici, attivisti sociali e anche gente comune e sta aumentando la repressione e lo stato autoritario in modo più selvaggio, giorno dopo giorno. Molti sono stati incarcerati, sono scomparsi, feriti e uccisi ,solo per chiedere la giustizia e le loro famiglie non hanno una reale possibilità di eventuali indagini.

I torturatori e gli assassini continuano liberamente con i loro crimini, ma le donne e le madri che scelgono di non restare in silenzio e lottano per il proprio e per loro figli i più elementari diritti umani e sociali , sopportano l'intimidazione costante, vengono accusati di azioni contro la sicurezza nazionale e i tribunali ingiusti le trovano colpevoli e le danno pesanti condanne. In questo momento, due di loro sono in carcere.

Jila Mahdavian, madre di Hesam Tarmasi, è stata condannata a cinque anni di carcere, due anni senza e tre anni di libertà vigilata, solo per avercercarto di scoprire dove è il suo figlio e la sua solidarietà con le madri in lutto. Sua figlia, Maryam Najafi è stata anche condannata a due anni, che include un anno e mezzo con e sei mesi senza libertà vigiliata. Il suo giovane figlio Hesam, è stato imprigionato per un anno per la partecipazione al movimento Verde nel 2010 e si è ammalato dopo il suo rilascio, in condizioni sospette e per ragioni sconosciute.

Jila Karamzadeh Makvandi, una poetessa e uno dei sostenitori delle Madri in lutto, è stata condannata a quattro anni di carcere, che comprende due anni senza e due anni di libertà vigilata, per il suo sostegno e per una poesia scritta per le madri delle vittime, lei era stata arrestata il 27 dicembre e è in carcere per eseguire la sua condanna.

Leila Seifalahi, medico e sostenitore della Madri in lutto, è stata condannata a quattro anni di carcere, che comprende due anni senza e due anni con la libertà vigiliata.
Akram Neghabi, madre di Saied Zeinali, è stata imprigionata e messo sotto processo perche seguiva le condizioni di suo figlio. Davanti agli occhi dei familiari , Saied che era sutente è stato arrestato e sequestrato a casa e da quel giorno, nessun funzionario ha dato alla famiglia qualsiasi informazione su di lui.

Parvin Mokhtare, Madre di Kouhyar Goodarzi, è stata condannata e iincarcerata per 23 mesi senza Libertà vigiliata per che seguiva la condizione del suo figlio. Kouhyar è un studente universitario e attivista dei diritti umani che in questo momento è in carcere.
Mansoureh Behkish ha perso sei membri della sua famiglia durante le esecuzioni degli anni 80. Lei è stata anche convocata, intimidatata e minacciata numerose volte perche chiedeva la giustizia e per suo sostegno alle madri in Lutto e peressere stata a cimitero di Khavaran a Behesht Zahra. Dopo il suo ultimo arresto, lei trascorso un mese dietro le sbarre e il 25 dicembre, è stata testata da giudice Salavaati ed è in attesa della sentenza.
.
Nader Ahsani, un altro sostenitore delle Madri di Park Laleh, ha trascorso un anno di carcere e dopo essere stato rilasciato, è stato invitato a comparire presso il tribunale e stato condannato a due anni di libertà vigilata.
Ci sono madri ed i familiari delle vittime che in più occasioni sono stati convocati, arrestati e provati e sono ora in una situazione indecisa. Ci sono altri, che anche in numerose occasioni sono stati interrogati e intimiditi.
Fatemeh Alvandi, madre di Mehdi Mahmoudian, un prigioniero politico nel carcere di Rajaie Shahr a Karaj, è stata arrestata e interrogata dalle forze di sicurezza il 3 gennaio ed è stata rilasciata poco dopo. Lei ha chiesto al'ufficio procuratore negli ultimi due anni il rilascio temporaneo del suo figlio, a causa della sua malattia.

Chiediamo , se una delle richieste o delle azioni delle madri e dei loro sostenitori sono stati illegali e hanno messo in pericolo la sicurezza nazionale? Non è il diritto di un madre seguire condizione di suo figlio sotto ogni legge e sotto ogni religione e sostenere le madri non è un dovere di ogni membro della società internazionale?

I governanti pensare alla sicurezza nazionale come la sicurezza per i loro delinquenti, assassini e torturatori ed è per questo che sono spaventati dagli sforzi delle madri e tentano di intimidirle in ogni passo del cammino.

Noi, Le Madri di Parco laleh e sostenitori in tutto il mondo, pur insistendo sulle nostre tre richieste fondamentali della liberazione di tutti prigionieri politici- di coscienze, abolizione della pena capitale e un'indagine aperta e giusta e di prova di tutti coloro che hanno ordinato ed eseguito le uccisioni negli ultimi 33 anni, chiediamo ai amanti della libertà e dei diritti umani di sostenere noi e far sentire più forte la nostra voce e nella nostra richiesta per la libertà di Parvin Mokhtare e Jila karamzadeh Makvandi e fermare le pressioni contro le madri e i loro sostenitori.

Le Madri di Parco laleh e loro sostenitori in Iran e all'estero

At the end of the program and before receiving the award, Khadijeh Moghadam, began her speech with leafing through a book about the last 33 years and the conditions of a woman, a mother, and a human rights activist. She talked about the sit-ins of mothers in front of the Evin prison in 1979 followed by the release of the political prisoners during the Shah’s regime, and the fact that these same loved ones were put back in prisons of the Islamic Republic.

She spoke about the killings of political prisoners during the decade of 1980 and mass graves in “Golzar-Khavaran, the emergence of the “One Million Signature Campaign”, the “Khavaran Mothers”, the “Mothers for Peace”, the “Laleh Park Mothers”, the arrest of mothers and their supporters that has happened over a hundred times.

Khadijeh Moghadam repeated the words of Dayeh Saltaneh, the mother of Farzad Kamangar, who, after her son was killed, said: “Don’t call us Grieving Mothers, call us Proud Mothers!” Finally, she offered her award to all the grieving and hurt mothers of the last 33 years and to an icon of maternal resistance, the mother of Behkish family, whose six family members were killed by the Islamic Republic.

Mourning Mothers suppressed for their fight against impunity

Mourning Mothers suppressed for their fight against impunity
The authorities in Iran are relentlessly pursuing their suppression of every form of peaceful dissent including protests of families of victims and their supporters as well as moderate political activists. Supporters of the “Mourning Mothers” (see Background Information) as well as moderate political activists are being increasingly targeted.
Mourning Mothers suppressed for their fight against impunity

Jila Karamzadeh-Makvandi (f), a supporter of the “Mourning Mothers”, was arrested on 27 December 2011 at the Passport Department in capital Tehran and taken to Evin Prison to serve her two-year prison sentence.
Leila Seyfollahi (f) and Nader Ahsani (m), two other supporters of the Mourning Mothers, are also at risk of arbitrary arrest, as their prison sentences have been upheld. The three were arrested, together with several other supporters of the Mourning Mothers, in February 2010, and spent over a month in solitary detention before being released on bail. They were tried in February 2011 on charges of “assembly and collusion to commit crimes against the national security and propaganda against the state.” The court ruling accused them of involvement in establishment of “an illegal organisation against the national security, namely the Mourning Mothers” and claiming to be “human rights defenders.”

The Islamic Revolution Court initially sentenced Jila Karamzadeh-Makvandi and Leila Seyfollahi to four years in prison each and Nader Ahsani to two years imprisonment. It was reported in early November 2011 that the appeals court had sentenced Ms Karamzadeh-Makvandi and Ms Seyfollahi each to two years in prison as well as to two years suspended prison sentence, and had upheld Nader Ahsani’s two-year prison sentence.

Jila Mahdavian, and her daughter Maryam Najafi, two supporters of the Mourning Mothers, were summoned to the Islamic Revolution Court on 25 December 2011 and were notified that they had been sentenced to five years and 6 months in prison, respectively. Maryam Najafi also received an 18-month suspended prison sentence. They have 20 days to appeal their sentences.

The two had been arrested on 9 October 2010 and spent 50 days and 13 days in detention, respectively, before being released on bail. They were tried by the Islamic Revolution Court on 30 November 2011. Charges against Jila Mahdavian included “taking part in disturbances, acting against national security, membership of the Mourning Mothers, testifying in German courts against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and attempting to leave the country illegally.” Maryam Najafi was charged with “acting against the national security and attempting to leave the country illegally.” Ms. Mahdavian’s son Hessam Tarmassi was stabbed with poisonous knife after being released from 11 months of detention in 2009-2010 and is reportedly still ill.

Mansoureh Behkish, another supporter of the Mourning Mothers, stood trial at the Islamic Revolution Court on 25 December 2011 on charges of “propaganda against the system” and “assembly and collusion to undermine national security through establishment of the Mourning Mothers group.” She rejected all the charges. The court decision is pending.

Having lost six members of her family in the secret executions of the 1980s, she has been arrested several times during the past couple of decades. She was arrested on the street on 12 June 2011 and spent a month in solitary confinement before being released on bail.

Political activists prosecuted for exercise of right of association

Moderate and peaceful political parties and groups and their activists have also been increasingly targeted and many of their members are now serving prison terms.
On 27 December 2011, Ebrahim Yazdi, the 80-year-old leader of Freedom Movement of Iran (FMI) and former foreign minister, was reportedly informed of an 8-year prison sentence. Ebrahim Yazdi has been detained three times since the 2009 presidential elections, including a six-month detention from October 2010 to March 2011. He appeared in court on 2 November 2011 on charges of “assembly and collusion against the national security, propaganda against the state, establishment and administration of the FMI.” He described the Islamic Revolution Court unconstitutional, rejected its jurisdiction to try him and refused to offer a defence bill.
Another senior member of the FMI and former mayor of Tehran, Mr Mohammad Tavassoli, and Dr Ali Rashidi, a leading economist, senior member of the “National Front of Iran” and former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Iran, have been in arbitrary detention since 3 November 2011.

Background Information

Mothers of Park Laleh (Mourning Mothers of Iran) are women whose children have been executed, killed, or disappeared since the early 1980s. They have been organising silent public protests in Tehran’s Laleh Park in the aftermath of the post-election violence in June 2009. They have demanded the State’s acknowledgement of the 1980s mass secret executions in the prisons, the right to know the burial places of their beloved and they stand for abolition of the death penalty, freedom of all political prisoners and prisoners of conscience, and public trial of all those responsible for the crimes committed since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979. They have been increasingly targeted with harassment, arbitrary arrest and detention, and imprisonment.

Freedom Movement of Iran, a nationalist group, was established in 1961 and its members faced prosecution and suppression under the former Shah’s regime. Its leaders formed the first post-revolution government but resigned later and some of them served prison terms under the present regime.

National Front of Iran is a secular nationalist organisation that was also suppressed under the Shah and later under the present regime. Its members were ministers in the first post-revolution government.

Karim Lahidji, vice-president of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and president of the Iranian League for the Defence of Human Rights (LDDHI), said today: “The Islamic Republic of Iran has consistently denied the right to freedom of assembly and association and violated Articles 21 and 22 of the ICCPR. Independent organisations of workers, students, teachers, journalists, human rights defenders and even moderate political groups are banned, and even groups of victims such as the Mourning Mothers that seek to make the authorities accountable for their crimes are increasingly targeted and their supporters persecuted. The authorities must urgently heed the ‘Concluding observations of the UN Human Rights Committee’ to ensure that the right to freedom of assembly and association is guaranteed to all individuals without discrimination and release immediately and unconditionally anyone held solely for the peaceful exercise of this right.”

طنين صداي ما را رساتر كنيد!

طنين صداي ما را رساتر كنيد!
امنیت ملی را چه کسانی به خطر می اندازند ؟مادران یا حاکمان؟

اقلیت حاکم بر ایران، روز به روز حلقه فشار و سرکوب را بر گروهها، سازمانها، احزاب، فعالان اجتماعی و حتا مردم عادی تنگتر و تنگتر کرده و دیکتاتوری و استبداد خود را به شکلی وحشیانه تر اعمال میکند.

در حالی که مردم حق نفس کشیدن ندارند و بسیاری از آزادی خواهان تنها به جرم حقطلبی؛ زندانی، مفقود، مجروح و کشته می شوند و خانوادههایشان حق هیچ گونه شکایت و پیگیری واقعی را ندارند.

در حالی که شکنجهگران و قاتلان، آزادانه به جنایتهای خود ادامه میدهند، زنان و مادرانی که برای رسیدن به حداقل حقوق انسانی و اجتماعی خود و یا برای دفاع از حقوق قانونی خود و فرزندانشان حاضر به سکوت نشده اند، بارها مورد آزار و تهدید قرار می گیرند؛ یا به اتهام اقدام علیه امنیت ملی، مورد محاکمه قرار گرفته و با اتهامات بي اساس و مجازات های سنگین در بیدادگاه ها مجرم قلمداد می شوند؛ هم اکنون نیز دو نفر از آنان در زندان به سر می برند.

ژیلا مهدویان مادر حسام ترمسی به جرم دادخواهی از وضعیت فرزندش و همدردی با مادران عزادار به پنج سال زندان، سه سال تعزیزی و دو سال تعلیقی و دخترش مریم نجفی نیز به دو سال حبس، یک سال و نیم تعلیقی و شش ماه تعزیری محکوم شده است. حسام پسرش، جوانی است که برای همراهی با جنبش سبز در سال ١٣٨٨ یک سال زندان را تحمل کرد و پس از آزادی با وضعیتی مشکوک بیمار شد و هنوز هیچ کس نمی داند که علت بیماری او پس از آزادی از زندان چه بوده است.

ژیلا کرم زاده مکوندی ، شاعر و از حامیان مادران عزادار، به جرم همدردی و سرودن شعر برای مادران و جان باختگان به چهار سال حبس، دو سال تعزیزی و دو سال تعلیقی محکوم شده و در تاریخ ٦ دی ماه برای اجرای حکم ، بازداشت و روانه زندان شده است.

لیلا سیف اللهی، پزشک و از حامیان مادران عزادار، نیز به چهار سال حبس، دو سال تعزیزی و دو سال تعلیقی محکوم شده است.

اکرم نقابی، مادر سعید زینالی به جرم پیگیری وضعیت فرزندش به مدت دو ماه زندانی شده و محاکمه شده است. سعید دانشجویی بود که در ٢٣ تیر ١٣٧٨ مقابل چشمان خانواده اش در منزل بازداشت و ربوده شد و تا به حال هیچ مقام مسئولی پاسخی مبنی بر زنده بودن یا کشته شدن او نداده است.

پروین مخترع، مادر کوهیار گودرزی به جرم پیگیری وضعیت فرزندش به ٢٣ ماه حبس تعزیری محکوم و زندانی شده است. کوهیار دانشجو و فعال حقوق بشر است که هم اکنون در زندان به سر می برد.

منصوره بهکیش، از خانواده های جان باختهگان دهه ٦٠ است که شش تن از خانواده اش کشته شده اند. او نيز به جرم دادخواهی و همدردی با مادران عزادار و حضور در خاوران و بهشت زهرا، بارها احضار و مورد اذیت و آزار قرار گرفته است و در آخرین بازداشت یک ماه را در حبس گذرانده است و نهايتا در ٤ دی ماه ، توسط قاضی صلواتی محاکمه و در انتظار حکم نهائي است.

نادر احسنی، یکی دیگر از حامیان مادران پارک لاله، پس از تحمل یک سال زندان و پس از آزادی، دوباره به دادگاه احضار و به دو سال حبس تعزیری محکوم شده است.

تعدادی دیگر از مادران و خانواده های جان باختگان و حامیان ، بارها احضار، بازداشت و محاکمه شده و در وضعیتی بلاتکلیف بسر می برند و تعدادی دیگر از آنها نیز بارها مورد بازخواست قرار گرفته یا تهدید شده اند.

هم چنين خانم "فاطمه الوندی" مادر مهدی محمودیان، زندانی سیاسی محبوس در زندان رجایی شهر کرج نيز ١٣ دي ماه، توسط ماموران امنیتی بازداشت و مورد بازجویی قرار گرفته و سپس آزاد شده است. نامبرده طی دو سال گذشته بارها از طریق دادستانی پیگیر مرخصی استعلاجی برای فرزند بیمارش بوده است.

مي پرسيم : کدامیک ازخواسته ها و حرکت های مادران و حامیان، غیرقانونی بوده که امنیت ملی کشور به خطر افتاده است؟

جز اینکه پیگیری وضعیت فرزند در هر دین و آیین و قانونی، حق هر مادری و همراهی و حمایت از مادران، وظيفه ي تک تک فرزندان جامعه جهانی است.

حاکمان، امنیت ملی را امنیت اوباش، قاتلان و شکنجهگران می دانند و به همین دلیل این چنین از حرکت مادران به وحشت افتاده اند و به اشکال مختلف آنها را مورد اذیت و آزار قرار می دهند.

ما مادران پارک لاله و حامیان در سرتاسر دنیا، ضمن پافشاری برسه خواسته اصلی خود مبنی بر آزادی تمامی زندانيان سیاسی – عقیدتی، لغو مجازات اعدام و محاکمه عادلانه و علنی آمران و عاملان کشتارهای سی و سه سال گذشته؛ از مردم آزادیخواه و نهادهای حقوق بشری می خواهیم برای آزادی پروین مخترع و ژیلا کرم زاده مکوندی و توقف فشار بر مادران دادخواه و حامیانشان در ایران، ما را همراهی و طنین صدای ما را رساتر کنند.

نوشته اي از مادر مصطفي كريم بيگي



"فردا بوسه ی مرگ را بر لبانم جشن خواهم گرفت، این است اوج تنهایی من ..."

اس ام اسی که در انتهایش اوج تنهایی مصطفی جوانه زد و اوج دلتنگی من. اگر آن روز می دانستم که روزی از همین روزها این اس ام اس لباسی از واقعیت بر تن می کند، بی شک رج به رج این لباس را از هم می شکافتم. نمی دانم چرا هیچ گاه در خیالم نگنجید که عاشورای حسینی، روز مظلومیت حسین، سالروز خاطره تشنه لبان خسته دل، روز عزای جوانانی از جنس پاکی و بلور شود.

جوانانی از جنس مصطفای من که پاکی را با او معنا کردم. مصطفایی که هنوز خیابان ها را در جستجوی معصومیت چهره اش گام برمی دارم. مصطفایی که بی اراده تصویر بودنش هر روز مقابل چشمانم جان می گیرد. مصطفایی که عاشق بود و عاشق رفت. او که هنوز نبودنش در قوه ی تخیلم شکل واقعی نمی گیرد.

آن قدر زیبا از آزادی و آنچه که حقمان است و باید ستاند می گفت که فکر می کنم خدا آنچه را که مصطفی فریاد می کرد چه زود شنید و عطایش کرد.

مصطفای من جان در راه حق و آزادی داد، جان در راه عشق داد. گرچه باور نبودنش سخت است، باور جای خالی اش جان فرساست، اما فرزند من با خون خود عشق بازی کرد و در خون خود غلتید. دلتنگی اش با هیچ چیز پر نخواهد شد، دلتنگی همه ی مادرها با هیچ چیز پر نخواهد شد.

دلتنگم... دلتنگیم... دلتنگی هایمان را باد با خود می برد و می رساند به گوش همه ی جاهای خالی، همه ی نبودن ها... اما کاش برساند به گوش همه آنانی که پاسخشان برای دست های خالی گلوله بود و باتوم، گلوله بود و چرخ های بی رحم و بی تفکر.

عاشورا دیگر برایم تکرار تاریخ مظلومیت حسین نیست، صدای فریاد خاموش شده ی مصطفی و مصطفی هاست اما آنچه باقی است دیگر سکوت نیست، رود خروشان خون های به ناحق ریخته شده است.

باشد تا روزی آزادی، آزدگی و تولد نور را در تاریکی استبداد کشور غم زده مان جشن بگیریم.
