    Country Information and Guidance Iran: Prison conditions Version 1.0 February 2016 Preface This document provides country of origin information (COI) and guidance to Home Office decision makers on handling particular types of protection and human rights claims. This includes whether claims are likely to justify the granting of asylum, humanitarian protection or discretionary leave and whether – in the event of a claim being refused – it is likely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under s94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. Decision makers must consider claims on an individual basis, taking into account the case specific facts and all relevant evidence, including: the guidance contained with this document; the available COI; any applicable caselaw; and the Home Office casework guidance in relation to relevant policies. Country Information The COI within this document has been compiled from a wide range of external information sources (usually) published in English. Consideration has been given to the relevance, reliability, accuracy, objectivity, currency, transparency and traceability of the information and wherever possible attempts have been made to corroborate the information used across independent sources, to ensure accuracy. All sources cited have been referenced in footnotes. It has been researched and presented with reference to the Common EU [European Union] Guidelines for Processing Country of Origin Information (COI), dated April 2008, and the European Asylum Support Office’s research guidelines, Country of Origin Information report methodology, dated July 2012.

  • Addendum-1Redacted-Version.Pdf
    Addendum number 1 to the urgent request to open a preliminary examination in Venezuela, for crimes against humanity committed against the civilian population, since February 2014 Group of Families of Venezuelan Victims May, 2016 About the authors: The authors are a group of families of Venezuelan victims who have suffered various forms of violence at the hands of the Government of Venezuela (GoV), through various State entities and officers, and, in some instances, along with pro- government armed paramilitaries and organized crime gangs. Their testimonies in this communication, as well as the context in which their experiences occurred, drafted by Juancarlos Vargas1 and Sabrina Velandia2, stem from their first-hand experience and from corroborated and reliable open source information available. Due to the fear of being targeted for further violence, as so many families of victims have already been, these family members have chosen to remain anonymous at this stage, for security reasons, but remain available to be interviewed by the Office of the Prosecutor, on request. For further information, contact Juancarlos Vargas: [email protected] or Sabrina Velandia: [email protected]. The authors would like to thank Juan Carlos Gutiérrez for his support. 1 Juancarlos Vargas Alvarez is a Venezuelan attorney, and a former Fulbright Scholar and International Law Professor, with publications on Public International Law, International Human Rights Law and International Criminal Law. He holds a Master degree in International Law from Universidad Complutense de Madrid and he is currently a PhD candidate. 2 Sabrina Velandia Rosales is a Venezuelan attorney, graduated with high honors from Universidad Central de Venezuela.

  • The Biopolitical Theatre: Tracing Sovereignty and History in the 2009 Iranian Show-Trials
    The Biopolitical Theatre: Tracing Sovereignty and History in the 2009 Iranian Show-Trials by Setareh Shohadaei BA, Simon Fraser University, 2008 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Political Science with a concentration in Cultural, Social, and Political Thought Setareh Shohadaei, 2011 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee The Biopolitical Theatre: Tracing Sovereignty and History in the 2009 Iranian Show-Trials by Setareh Shohadaei BA, Simon Fraser University, 2008 Supervisory Committee Dr. R.B.J. Walker, Department of Political Science Supervisor Dr. Warren Magnusson, Department of Political Science Departmental Member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. R.B.J. Walker, Department of Political Science Supervisor Dr. Warren Magnusson, Department of Political Science Departmental Member This work looks at the 2009 Iranian show-trials through modern discourses of biopolitics, sovereignty, and history. I argue that, understood as a theatrical phenomenon, the show trials are situated within the Foucauldian mode of biopower. The latter entails a shift from a politics of death to the preservation of the bios. The show-trials also perform a particularly modern narrative of state sovereignty and teleological history. To consider them in this way requires a rethinking of Michel Foucault’s theory so as to include juridico-philosophical discourse within a biopolitical framework. I propose that, as a performative act, the confessions transform the very thing they are confessing. Through the work of Jean Baudrillard and Jacque Derrida, I argue that the confessions make possible a reconceptualization of the political space of sovereignty as simulacrum and that of the political time of history as hauntology.
