Torture and threatening to exile of Baluchi fellow political prisoners

Torture, By Reza Olia

According to the reports received by the "Human Rights Activists for Democracy in Iran", three Baluchi political compatriots were transferred to the Intelligence Bureau of Zahedan central prison and were put under interrogations accompanied with physical torture and threatening of enforced exile.   
On Wednesday, November 28, 2012 the political prisoners Habib Riginejad Shouraki and Ayyoub Rigi together with one of the non-political prisoners called Yarmohamad Sholehbar who had contacts with the in jail were called to the intelligence bureau of Zahedan central prison and were interrogated and physically and psychologically tortured were threatened for enforced exile to Khalkhal prison (northwest of Iran).  
Habib Riginejad Shouraki and Ayyoub Rigi, the political prisoners were returned back to the ward 4 after several hours of interrogations. These two prisoners are kept in the prison as hostage for the mere reason of being from the Rigi Tribe. Mohamad Marzieyeh, the General Attorney of Mollah Ali Khamenei’s in Sistan and Baluchistan province has frequently threatened the tribes’ families that he will hang the hostage members in case any single accident of any kind happens against the regime in the province.     
Yarmohamad Sholehbar, the third prisoner was transferred into the solitary confinements of the prison quarantine. During the move into his cell he was intensely tortured and was jailed in a cell lacking any kind of primary hygiene requirements; His diet has been reduced to the limit of viability.
This prisoner is currently being held in solitary confinement in handcuffs and shackles. He is now spending his lifetime in prison for several months without any foreseeable decision by the officials. One of the reasons for his transfer to solitary cells was his protest against inhumane prison conditions, severe reduction of the prisoners’ diet and catastrophic health status of the prison and medical negligence towards the inmates. 
The prisoner Yarmohamad Sholehbar is now in hunger strike since moved into the solitary confinements and is certain of continuing it.  
A Torturer called “Gholami” who is the chief of the intelligence bureau of Zahedan province is responsible for the inhuman physical and psychological tortures against the political and non-political prisoners who raise strong objections to the inhuman conditions of the prison. 

Human Rights Activists for Democracy in Iran condemns the brutal torturing and threatening of the defenseless prisoners to exile them from their residence to the far distanced points and urges the UN Secretary General, High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights to refer the case of crimes against humanity of Mullah Ali khamenei to International judiciary authorities courts for trial to end the against humanity crimes of the Mullahs’ regime in Iran.

Physical and psychological torturing and enticement of Baloch political prisoners to confess against Molavi Abdolhamid

Molavi Abdolhamid, Iranian Baloch Sunni Leader

According to the reports received by the “Human Rights and Democracy Advocates in Iran” the Baloch fellow political prisoners in torture chambers of the Intelligence Ministry (IM) have been put under pressure through physical and psychological tortures as well as subornation to confess against the Sunni leader of Sistan and Balochistan province, southeast of Iran.     
Almost most of the Baloch political prisoners in Zahedan prison undergo brutal physical and psychological tortures by the interrogators to confess against Molavi Abdolhamid. The IM interrogators normally fasten the political prisoners to a bed called the “miracle bed”, tie his hands and feet and put electric shocker on the sensitive parts of the prisoner’s body for prolonged periods of time; biting by the cable, prolonged hanging, denuding the prisoners and filming of them, threatening them for arresting their mother, sister, spouse, children and father and torturing them before the eyes of the prisoner and numerous other tortures.          
During these barbaric tortures the prisoner is asked to assume the responsibility of the operations occurred in the province and state that Molavi Abdolhamid had been the commander and encouraging figure behind such actions    
The IM interrogators and especially Mohammad MArziyeh, General Attorney of Zahedan, call the political prisoners who are supposed to be executed the next day and propose them that they would be released immediately if they repeat in front of the TV camera what the interrogators dictate. From these prisoners was Abdolbaset Rigi, the freedom fighter martyr who was recently executed. Several previously executed political prisoners had received such proposition before.   
From the most notably officials who play major role in bloody suppression of the Balochi people and execution of the Baloch fellow political prisoners and plotting against Molavi Abdolhamid, Mohammad MArziyeh, General Attorney of Zahedan, Colonel Zakeri, one of the security officials of the province, Commander Bashir Ahmad Rigi (who is said to be the 4^th in security officials’ ranking of the Province) and Mahgoli, the branch 1 head of Zahedan Revolutionary Court can be mentioned. Mahgoli issues all the death sentences and heavy punishments that are issued against the Baloch political prisoners.      
Human Rights and Democracy Advocates in Iran condemns torturing and enticement of the Baloch fellow political prisoners to confess against the Sunni leader, Molavi Abdolhamid for the purpose of case building and damaging this religious and political figure. We urge the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights to refer Ali Khamenei’s case to the international courts for trial.

Call for saving 10 Baloch political prisoners who are on the verge of execution

According to the reports received by the “Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran”, 10 Balochi fellow political prisoners are on the verge of execution in supreme mullah Ali Khamenei’s prisons. 

General department of Intelligence Ministry (IM) and Mohammad Marziyeh, the attorney general of Zahedan have informed these prisoners’ families that they intend to make the Eid ul Adha bitter for them and have mentioned the names of at list 10 prisoners that they are planned to be executed throughout the next days.

The names of Balochi fellow political prisoners whose families have been threatened for executing their children death sentence decree are as follows:

1- Rigi, Hamzeh, 19 years old Political prisoner; He was arrested nearly 3 years ago by the IM interrogators and is jailed in solitary confinements until now; He has undergone the toughest physical and psychological tortures by the IM interrogators. He has been on hunger strike for 25 days now in protest at being held for prolonged time in solitary confinements. He has been convicted to death sentence and is waiting for being executed.

2- Rigi, Abdulvahab. He was 17 years old when he was arrested in October 2010. He was exiled to Qazvin prison as of April this year and was jailed together with dangerous non-political prisoners despite his young age. He has been sentenced to death in initial trial. He is a brother of the Late Abdolbaset Rigi, the freedom fighter martyr who was executed a few days ago in a blind retaliation together with 2 other political prisoners in Zahedan prison.

3- Rigi, Mehrollah. He was 17 years old when he was arrested in October 2010 in a raid by the MI officers and was put under intolerable physical and psychological tortures by the IM interrogators. He was tried without a lawyer for a few minutes and was convicted to death. This teenager political prisoner is now exiled in Semnan jail.

4- Miyaei, Salman, 26; he was arrested in late 2010 in Chabahar; after months of spending in solitary confinements and undergoing physical and psychological tortures, he was sentenced to death; this political prisoner is now exiled in Khoramabad prison and is awaiting for being executed.

5- Shojaei, Navid, 26 years old; he was arrested in March 2011 and after months of physical and psychological tortures by the IM interrogators, he was trialed without attorney and the right of self-defense in Zahedan branch of Revolutionary Court and was sentenced to death; this political prisoner is now jailed in Zahedan prison and is awaiting for inhuman punishment of execution.

6- Riginezhad Shoraki, Habibollah; 32 years old (Born in 1980); he was arrested 4 years ago following a raid by the IM officers and spent about 18 months in IM department solitary confinements under physical and psychological tortures. He was charged with kidnapping and upon arrest, he was tied to a bed that was called “the miracle Bed” by the IM interrogators. His nails were pulled out and he was tortured by the electric shocker many times for long periods and they used different types of torture to make him confess false confessions. In the court, the plaintiff admitted that this prisoner was not among the kidnappers. This political prisoner was taken hostage for mere his family name ‘Rigi’ and just because he was a next-door neighbor to Abdolmalik Rigi. The ex-interrogator of IM which is currently the head of the Revolutionary Court, Zahedan branch has issued death sentence against him. He is now in ward 4 of Zahedan prison, waiting for his inhuman punishment of execution.

7- Bahram Zehi, Ayoub, 29. He was arrested in November 2010 in Sarbaz city. He was convicted to death sentence by the Revolutionary Court, Zahedan branch and was exiled in May this year, possibly to Khorramabad jail.

8- Vekalat, Ayoub, 20. He was arrested in 2009 in Chabahar city. He was convicted to death sentence by the Revolutionary Court, Zahedan branch and is waiting for his inhuman punishment of execution.

9- Hosseinzehi, Bashir Ahmad, 27. He was arrested in 2010 in Saravan city. He was convicted to death sentence by branch 1 of Zahedan Revolutionary Court. He is now in ward 4 of Zahedan prison, waiting for his inhuman punishment of execution.

10- Shahuzehi, Abdulkhaliq; He is now waiting for execution of his death sentence.

All the Baloch patriot political prisoners in Sistan and Balochistan province are tried in branch one of Zahedan Revolutionary Court by a parson called “Maagholi”. This against humanity criminal is one of the ex-interrogators of Intelligence Ministry. He, addressing one of the Baloch fellow political prisoners who objected him for inhuman behavior, said: “I have executed about 100 people and have ordered amputation of many prisoners. Now you are objecting me! You will be regretful for your objection.” Finally he issued death sentence decree for this intent prisoner.

Most of the Baloch fellow political prisoners are arrested for mere familial relationship and are charged with false allegations, aiming at issuing execution sentence against them. Mohammad Marziyeh, the attorney general of Zahedan has told the political prisoners’ families that he will hang their captive children in case any anti-regime operation occurs in the province. He fulfilled his words and hanged three political prisoners during the past few days.

Mullah Ali Khamenei’s regime currently being on the brink of public protests, for the purpose of creating an atmosphere of fear has unbelievably intensified group execution of the political prisoners and other youngsters with different justifications. Therefore, for the purpose of clarifying the truths, we urge the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to send the UN Special Rapporteur for investigating about the false allegations attributed to the political and non-political prisoners in order to legitimate the uninterrupted wave of executions.

Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran warns about the imminent execution of 10 Baloch fellow political prisoners and requests the compatriots inside Iran and abroad to adopt widespread objection measures to halt Mullah Ali Khamenei’s machine of execution. We urge the UN Secretary General, High Commissioner for Human Rights, and UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights to refer Ali Khamenei’s case to the international courts for trial to end the against humanity deeds of Iranian regime.

Tension and public anger throughout the Baluchistan province due to the intelligence ministry interrogators’ intent for exhumation of an executed political prisoner

According to the reports received by the “Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran”, following the inhumane execution of 3 fellow Baluch political prisoners in Zahedan city, the provincial capital of Baluchistan Province of Iran, the interrogators refused to surrender the corpses of the executed prisoners to their families, but Rigi family ignoring the inhumane behavior of the interrogators and insisting on their basic rights, attempted to take Abdulbaset’s body from the mortuary, and moved it to the cemetery for the funeral ceremony.

On the other hand, the intelligence ministry interrogators and the Mullahs’ regime security forces in the province are extremely angry because of their inability to satisfy their inhumane intention for secretly burying the bodies. Hence, they seek as of yesterday, to exhume the grave and transfer this freedom fighter martyr’s corps to an unknown place for burying. It should be noted that exhumation is known as the worst insult to a dead based on the dominant culture in this region.

The Rigi family and the city residents are present there, beside the tomb of their loved ones and have been able to obstruct the regime’s agents intention until now. They have insisted that in case the officers want to execute their will, massive protests would certainly occur throughout the province with unpredictable dimensions.

The Prosecutor in a completely false statement yesterday attributed the Zahedan mosque explosion to Abdulbaset Rigi for justification and legitimacy of these inhuman executions; this is while no reference is made to such accusations in the existing lawsuit.

Abdulbast Rigi was an internet activist who leaked out the human rights violations’ news. To clarify the issue, the Mullah’s regime must allow an impartial international investigation committee to look into the facts, not behind the doors of torturing chambers, and nor in the rooms, so called the ‘courts’ in which the Intelligence Ministry interrogators issue death sentence verdicts against defendants. The prosecutor's statement also claimed that their sentences were upheld by the Supreme Court; however, neither the accused nor their families were aware of such a lie.

The bodies of 2 other executed fellow Baluch political prisoners, Abduljalil Karazehi, 24, who was arrested in December 2010 in his hometown, Khash city, and Yahya Charizehi, 24, arrested in Iranshahr, were not delivered to their families and buried in unknown places. The regime agents deprived these two families of their right for holding a funeral ceremony for the corpses of their loved ones.

In order to halt such prevarication and inhumanity executions under different justifications, especially against the political prisoners, “Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran” urges the UN to send a fact-finding committee for investigating and clarifying the facts and ending the mass execution of political prisoners in Iran.

“Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran” condemns the execution of these three fellow Baluchi political prisoners as a crime against humanity, and urges the UN Secretary General, High Commissioner for Human Rights, and UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights to refer Ali Khamenei’s case of against humanity deeds to the international courts for trial.
