  • Syrian Human Rights Defender Receives 2005 Martin Ennals Award
    AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL PRESS RELEASE Embargo Date: 11 October 2005 12:00 GMT Syrian Human Rights Defender receives 2005 Martin Ennals Award Aktham Naisse, President of the Committees for the Defence of Democratic Liberties and Human Rights in Syria will receive the prestigious 2005 Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders (MEA) for his work for over 30 years in the democratic movement in Syria. The award will be presented by Louise Arbour, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, during a ceremony on 12 October 2005 at the Batiment des Forces Motrices in Geneva, within the framework of the International North South Media Festival. Aktham Naisse is one of the founding members of the Committees for the Defence of Democratic Liberties and Human Rights (CDF), created in 1989, and the publication Sawt al-Dimokratiyyah (the Voice of Democracy). Aktham Naisse has written articles and courageously spoken out in national, regional and international forums. He was arrested six times for publicly demanding respect for human rights. In recent years Aktham Naisse was charged with ‘‘opposing the objectives of the revolution’’ and ‘‘disseminating false information aiming at weakening the State’’, risking a prison sentence of 15 years. Thanks to international pressure, he was finally acquitted on Sunday 26 June 2005 by the Supreme State Security Court. A few days before his trial Aktham Naisse wrote to the Martin Ennals Foundation: ‘‘I feel more motivated and happy because there are people interested in our problem, people that care for us and support us in our fight for human liberty. I have a great emotion because I know now that we are not struggling alone against human rights violation.’’ Background A unique collaboration among eleven of the world's leading non-governmental human rights organizations makes the MEA the main award of the human rights movement.

Abstract The 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran was based and formed upon the concept of Khomeinism, the religious, political, and social ideas of Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini. While the Iranian revolution was carried out with the slogans of independence, freedom, and Islamic Republic, Khomeini's framework gave it a specific impetus for the unity of people, religious culture, and leadership. Khomeinism was not just an effort, on a religious basis, to alter a national system. It included and was dependent upon the projection of a clash beyond a “national” struggle, including was a clash of ideology with that associated with the United States. Analysing the Iran-US relationship over the past century and Khomeini’s interpretation of it, this thesis attempts to show how the Ayatullah projected "America" versus Iranian national freedom and religious pride.
