Widespread Arbitrary Arrests and Disappearances Continue

Prominent human rights lawyer among new detainees

Arrests by unidentified agents, detentions in undisclosed locations

(8 July 2009) While Iranian authorities have issued statements about the release of some of the approximately 2,000 citizens that local human rights monitors believe are detained, they have continued to arrest other prominent individuals, in violation of due process standards, according to the International Campaign for .

Today, unidentified agents arrested Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, a prominent human rights lawyer and founding member of the Defenders for Human Rights Center (DHRC), at his law office at 4 pm Tehran local time. Shirin Ebadi, the 2003 Nobel peace laureate, is the director of DHRC. Another DHRC lawyer, Abdolfattah Sotani, has been in detention since 16 June.

The unidentified agents also arrested four of Dadkhah’s colleagues working at his office at the time: Malihe Dadkhah (his daughter), Sara Sabaghian, Bahareh Dowaloo, and Amir Raiisian, and took them to an undisclosed location. They also locked up Dadkhah’s office without any explanation or providing legal documents for their actions. Daadkhah has been representing many of the recent detainees.

“The Iranian government is trampling over every rule of due process. Not only are hundreds of detainees in incommunicado detention, in solitary confinement, and possibly under torture, but their lawyers are rapidly being added to their ranks,” said Hadi Ghaemi, the Campaign’s spokesperson.

“The situation is grave and is resembling some of the most atrocious crackdowns in recent memory such as the aftermath of General Pinochet’s coup in Chile in 1973, when hundreds were detained, disappeared, or were executed,” he added.

The Campaign has learned that the health of another detainee, Bijan Khajehpour Khoei, may be in danger. Khadjehpour, a business and economic consultant as well as an internationally well-known independent political analyst, was arrested on 27 June by unknown persons. He is a diabetic who is required to follow a strict diet. He is the founder of the strategic business consultancy Atieh Bahar Consulting.

Khajehpour was arrested at Tehran’s airport following his return from abroad. The authorities have not provided any information to his family regarding the reason for his arrest or whereabouts. Khadjepour was abroad during post-election protests and is not known to have participated in any political activities. His professional activities have been fully transparent to the government.

Fayzolah Arabsorkhi, a member of the central body of the Islamic Revolution Mujahedeen Organization and the former deputy minister of commerce, was arrested on 7 July, by unknown persons who detained him without presenting any warrant; his location is unknown.

Jalal Mohammadlou, a member of the youth branch of the Iran Participation Front in Tehran, was arrested on 5 July while he was being taken to the hospital. As reported widely by international media, Clotilde Reiss, a French national, was arrested on 1 July and charged with espionage. She is reportedly in Evin prison in Tehran.

“At least Ms. Reiss’s family knows where she is, and what she is charged with, information that is not provided to hundreds of Iranian families whose members have disappeared,” Ghaemi said.

A number of students have also been arrested, including Hesam Salamat, who had been expelled from Tehran University, on 6 July; Ali Taghipour, the former technical secretary of the student association in Mazandaran University, was arrested on 30 June; and Nima Nahvi, a student at Anoushirvan Engineering University in Babol, who was arrested on 1 July while he was leaving the campus and taken away by Intelligence agents.

Almost no information about the legal or physical situations of these individuals or any other detained persons can be confirmed, as officials refuse to divulge information, or allow contacts and legal counsel.

Human Rights Organization Provides the Names of Prominent Detainees, Calls for Their Release

Incommunicado Detentions Raise Fears of Torture and Ill-Treatment

(23 June 2009) The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran today published lists of Iranian citizens it has confirmed killed and detained since the disputed 12 June presidential elections. The lists are not comprehensive and show the names of only some of the well-known detained citizens and only four of the dead.

The lists name a total of 240 detained persons, including 29 who were detained and then released, as well as 102 political figures, 23 journalists, 79 university students, and 7 university faculty who are still in detention. The lists include only the names of four citizens amongst many who were killed. Government sources have referred to 170 people detained prior to 15 June, 457 detained persons on 20 June, and 27 dead. Other sources claim these numbers are much higher. Given the strict restrictions imposed by the government, the Campaign’s possibilities to confirm detentions are limited.

According to information received by the Campaign, many of those detained were arrested by plainclothes agents at their homes or other places, not at protests, and taken away in unmarked vehicles, which has led to extreme anxiety on the part of relatives about accountability for their safety. The Campaign has not received any reports of arrest warrants being presented, nor have family and friends of those in detention been informed of their whereabouts.

“We are deeply concerned by the neglect of due process in these arrests, by the fact that detainees are held incommunicado, and by the risk that detainees may face torture, which would provide forced confessions supporting official claims about the demonstrations,” stated Aaron Rhodes, a spokesperson for the Campaign.

The Campaign called for the immediate release without charge of all those detained in the context of peaceful demonstrations following the election.

UPDATE: Arbitrary Detentions in Iran Expand

(17 June 2009) Ebrahim Yazdi, General Secretary of Nehzat e Azadi, was arrested today at 15:00 Tehran time, the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran said, while he was in Pars Hospital in Tehran in the Intensive Care Unit. It was reported that his home was searched.

Saeed Laylaz, the prominent economist who challenges existing economic policy, was arrested on 17 June in his home.

Mohammadreza Jalaieepour, a student at Oxford University and an active member of the youth branch of Jebheh Mosharekat called Puyesh Mouj e Sevom (third motion wave), a leading reformist political front, was arrested on 17 June in Tehran Airport, as he was about to leave Iran.

Nehzat Azadi, or “Freedom Movement,” is one of the national political parties that urged all citizens to participate in the election in the national interest. Before the 12 June election, Motamedi Mehr, a member of the political office of this party and the Committee to Defend Free and Fair Elections, was arrested on 10 May 2009.

Mohammad Tavasoli, the director of the political office of the party, was arrested on 16 June. Other members of Nehzat Azadi in Tehran and other cities were arrested, as previously reported by the Campaign.

Mass Arrests and Detentions Signal Increasing Repression

“A purge of reform-oriented individuals….”

(17 June 2009) The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran reported today that several dozen notable figures including Saeed Hajjarian, Mohammad Ali Abtahi, Behzad Nabavi, and Abdolfattah Soltani were arrested on 16 June 2009. Hajjarian was an advisor to former president and Abtahi was director of Khatami’s office during his presidency and is now a senior adviser to Mehdi Karroubi. Nabavi is a former member of parliament and Minister of Industry and Mining. Soltani is a leading human rights lawyer and member of the Defenders of Human Rights Center.

The detainees include numerous political figures, intellectuals, civil leaders, human rights activists, and journalists, as well as a large but unknown number of ordinary citizens who have taken part in street demonstrations since the disputed 12 June presidential elections.

“Iranian intelligence and security forces are using the public protests to engage in what appears to be a major purge of reform-oriented individuals whose situations in detention could be life-threatening,” according to Aaron Rhodes, a spokesperson for the Campaign.

“The authorities are responsible for the health and safety of these people and should be held accountable,” he added.

The Campaign expressed serious concerns for the health and safety of Hajjarian, who was the target of an assassination attempt by extremists. In 2000, he was shot in the head, suffering serious brain and spinal cord injuries. He is in urgent need of continuous medical care and authorities have not provided any information about his whereabouts or conditions. Hajjarian has been under the constant care of several doctors, including Dr. Taghi Kimya-Asadi, a neurologist in Washington who travels often to Iran.

Dr. Kimya-Asadi told the Campaign: “He has been left with great difficulty walking, suffering much pain and discomfort. He is in need of multiple medications, including Mysoline, Inderal, & Trileptal, that I prescribed for him, among others that have been prescribed by his other medical doctors in Iran. He is in need of constant nursing care, as well as physical therapy. Detention is extremely detrimental to his well-being and puts his life in danger. Especially if there is any interruption in his medication which may cause a serious life threatening situation in the case of sudden withdrawal. At home, he is under the constant medical supervision of his wife, who is a medical doctor.”

According to Nobel Peace Laureate Shirin Ebadi, her colleague Abdolfattah Soltani, one of Iran’s leading human rights lawyers, was arrested by security officers who entered his office posing as clients. He was a member of the Arbitrary Detentions Investigation Committee. The other member of this Committee, Alireza Tajik and Kayvan Samimi were arrested two days ago. Shiva Nazarahari, a human rights defender, and Mahsa Amrabadi, a journalist, are also among the detainees.

Also arrested was a former spokesperson for Khatami, Abdolah Ramezanzadeh, who also served as governor of Kurdistan, and Mostafa Tajzadeh, a political figure who was in charge of conducting elections in the Interior Ministry when Khatami was in office. Other members of Mehdi Karroubi’s campaign staff in Tehran and Tabriz, including Bagher Oskouiee and Amir Mardani, have also been arrested.

Other well-known political figures who have been arrested include Mohsen Aminzadeh, Mohammad Atrianfar, and Mohammad Tavasoli.

Three other political activists Taghi Rahmani, Reza Alijani, and Hoda Saberi were arrested on 14 June, but may have been released since.

Other detainees are members of the Nehzat Azadi, one of the oldest political parties in Iran, including Ahmad Afjeiee, Emad Bahavar, Mojtaba Khandan, Saieed Zeraatkar, Rouholah Shafiee, Ali Mehrdad, and Mohammad Reza Ahmadinia. Also arrested were members of the reformist party, Jebhe Mosharekat Islami (Islamic Participation Front), including Ali Pour Khayeri, Shahin Nourbakhsh, Ali Taghipour Mohammad Shokuhi, Ashkan Mojaleli, Maysam Varahchehre, Mahdieh Minavi, and Farhad Nasrollahpour.

There has apparently been a systematic detention of members of various civil society formations. Members of the central council of the university alumni group ADVAR, which is influential among students, were arrested including Ahmad Zaydabadi, General Secretary, Hadi Kahal, and Hamed Iranshahi.

Reports received by the Campaign from the City of Tabriz indicate that over 100 prominent civic figures in the city have also been detained including Dr. Jalil Sharabianlu, Dr. Ghafar Farzadi, Majd Jabari, Rahim Yawai, Abbas Pourazhari, Dr. Lay Farzadi, Shabeti, Shamlu, Dr. Ghafarzadeh, Dr. Soltaniazad, Dr. Panahi, Dr. Seyflou, Dr. Dadizadeh, Mehdi Yarbahrami, Mansour Ghafari, Hojatollah Amiri, Amir Hossein Jahani, Rohdah Rahimipour, and Mehdi Khodadadi.

Several reports from throughout the country indicate that many activists have disappeared, including Payam Haydar Ghazvini, Nasim Riahi, Mojtaba Rajabi, and Atar Rashidi in Ghazvin province.

The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran calls for the immediate release of all arbitrarily detained persons. The Campaign urges the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to urgently seek information about these cases and to demand assurances for their health and safety.
