  • Urgent Appeal - the Observatory

    1 URGENT APPEAL - THE OBSERVATORY New information IRN 005 / 0711 / OBS 098.1 Arbitrary arrest / Judicial harassment / Illegal search Iran September 12, 2011 The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a joint programme of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), has received new information and requests your urgent intervention in the following situation in Iran . New information: The Observatory has been informed by the Iranian League for the Defence of Human Rights (LDDHI) of the arbitrary arrest of Mr. Abdolfattah Soltani , a lawyer and founding member of the Defenders of Human Rights Centre (DHRC). According to the information received, on September 10, 2011, Mr. Abdolfattah Soltani was arrested outside the Islamic Revolution Court by police officers who were holding an arrest warrant. In the afternoon, his house and offices were also searched by four agents without warrant and who took CDs, papers, documents and his children's laptop. At the time of publication of this Urgent Appeal, Mr. Abdolfattah Soltani was still being held in solitary confinement at the Ministry of Intelligence’s Section 209 inside Evin prison, but his lawyer had not been informed of the charges against him. The Observatory strongly condemns the arrest of Mr. Abdolfattah Soltani and denounces this new act of harassment and intimidation against founding members of DHRC, which seem to merely aim at sanctioning their peaceful and legitimate human rights activities. Background information: In 2008, the DHRC, established by five lawyers including the 2003 Nobel Peace Laureate Shirin Ebadi was closed down. Moreover, on August 1, 2009, the Vice-Prosecutor of Tehran publicly accused Ms.

However, little attention has been given to the fact that the Islamic Republic’s current legislation and practice are in deep violation of international labor rights standards and economic and social rights. Heightened levels of engagement and business with Iran makes this an important time for the international community address the human rights in the country and the rights of workers in particular. Iran places extensive restrictions and criminal sanctions on expression, association, and assembly. Censorship of speech, art, the internet, and media is common. Civil society groups, including human rights organizations and labor unions, are routinely shut down. Peaceful gatherings and protests are typically disrupted and sometimes met with force. Authorities make widespread use of arrests and detention to deter disfavored expression, association, and assembly. The Iranian government routinely violates the rights of workers to peaceful assembly and association. The government effectively restricts the formation of independent unions works associations, which are forced to operate without clear legal status.
