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.

Mullahs’ Regime Executes 3 Baluchi fellow political prisoners in Zahedan, Iran


According to the reports received by the “Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran” (HRDAI), three Baluchi fellow prisoners Abdolbaset Rigi, Abdoljalil Kahrazehi and Yahya Chari Zehi were hanged in Zahedan prison at dawn this morning on charge of Moharebeh (enmity against God).
On Sunday, October 21, 2012 in a blind and inhumane revenge by Ali Khamenei’s mullahs’ regime, three fellow Baluch political prisoners were hanged in Zahedan prison. Two of them were moved into solitary confinements from the torture chambers of Ministry of Intelligence and the other, Abdolbaset Rigi, 25, was removed from the general ward of the prison around 15:00 PM on Saturday 20th of October and was sent to the solitary confinement for executing the inhumane death sentence.  
Political prisoner, Abdulbaset Rigi was an Internet activist who published the human rights violations’ news in Sistan and Baluchestan province. He was arrested 3 years ago and spent about 11 mouths in solitary confinements of Department of Intelligence Ministry under the most severe physical and psychological tortures and was forced into televised confessions against himself.
On the other hand, he was only sentenced to death in the lower court and even his conviction had not upheld by the Supreme Court. The courageous political prisoner, Abdulbaset Rigi actively leaked out the human rights violations’ news occurring in the Zahedan prison.       
Previously all the families of political prisoners in Zahedan had been threatened by the Department of Intelligence Ministry that if anything happens in the province, their imprisoned children will be executed. In fact, a few days ago the Zahedan city prosecutor Mohammad Marzieh said the local news agencies that he will soon take revenge.
Political prisoner Abdulvahab Rigi, brother of freedom fighter martyr Abdulbaset Rigi, who was arrested in September 2010 at age 17, in May this year following a hunger strike by Baluch prisoners to protest the medieval conditions of Zahedan prison, was exiled to Qazvin prison alongside dangerous criminals. He is also sentenced to death.
Almost all Baluch political prisoners simply because their relatives had been involved in political activities are being held in prison as hostages.
Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran condemns execution of three fellow Baluch political prisoners as a crime against humanity and urges the UN Secretary General, the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights to refer the supreme mullah Ali Khamenei’s case to the international courts for ending violations of human rights and crime against humanity in Iran.
