Help free jailed students in Iran now!

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Wednesday December 19, 2007 16:03author by Asqar Karimi - Worker-communist Party of Iran Report this post to the editors

Below is an appeal on behalf of imprisoned students. International Solidarity has forced the Iranian Regime to release trade union activists. Send your protest letters/emails to the addresses at the end of this piece.

In the last two weeks more than 40 student leaders and activists have been rounded up by the Ministry of Information of the Islamic regime of Iran. We have been informed that at least 43 of the detainees are being held in the notorious Evin Prison, and the whereabouts of the rest is unknown. These students were arrested on or before 7 December 2007 in anticipation of protests on Student Day.
Imprisoned Students.
Imprisoned Students.

What is worrying in these arrests is the fabricated charges laid against the students. The Ministry of Information said: "The rioters had hand grenades, alcohol, illegal literature". Rajanews linked to Ahmadinejad said: "After investigations of universities by security forces, the communists with connections aboard were arrested. The plan was to create riots by using Molotov Cocktails and hand grenades". References to 'alcohol, banned literature, groups abroad', only show how oppressive the regime is, but mention of 'Molotov Cocktail and hand grenades' are dangerous security codes used in the past to execute thousands of dissidents or to impose long sentences. News of torture of students is worrying. The world must react to this atrocity.

We ask you to support the detained students, to force the Regime to release the prisoners. The people of Iran would appreciate the international solidarity with their struggle against the Regime. International pressure would make a difference to the situation of the political prisoners, and would limit the ability of the Regime to repress students, labour and women rights activists and the people of Iran.

The following is an extract from a letter by Jamshid Hadian of the Worker-communist Party of Iran to Canadian Student Unions. Full text at the link.

1- All the parents of the detained students got to visit them. This has obviously been granted by the regime under international pressure. However, the detainees have not yet gotten to visit with their lawyers.

2- The agents of Ministry of Intelligence raided the house of a student by the name of Mohammad Purabdollaahi and took him, along with 8 other students, with them. The names of the newly arrested students are as follows: 1- Mohammad Purabdollaahi; 2- Kaave Abbasiaan; 3- Anaahitaa Hoseyni; 4- Bitaa Samimizaade; 5- Amin Ghazaai; 6- Sorush Saabet; 7- Sorush Dashtestaani; 8- Bijan Sabbaagh; 9-Mortezaa Eslaahchi.

3- On Tue., Jan 15, another student, Masi Shirvaani was kidnapped in the street by Intelligence agents. The whereabouts of the newly arrested students is still unkown.


In every case the regime backs off one step under international presurre, only to take two steps forward in the direction of oppression in order to show off power and send out a message of we-are-still-in-the-saddle. And this proves only one thing: the international community has to keep pushing this anti-human regime back relentlessly. So, please regard one and all letter of support for the students, or any other form of protest, as a spotlight turned on the ruling criminals in Iran.

Jamshid Hadian
