A face for human rights in Iran went to Eindhoven

A face for human rights in Iran went to Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

Matter if it rains or the sun shines, western people involve themselves for showing solidarity to the people in Iran.

Saturday, 2nd of October 2010 Amnesty International together with members of the International Committee for the rights of derwishes and students in Iran gathered peoples pictures for human rights in Iran and informed passersby about the situation of political prisoners and their situation in prisons like Evin, Kharizak and others.

A face for freedom in Iran and a face for human rights in Iran are actions that started in The Netherlands and that happen throughout Europe in greater cities. Thousands of faces have been gathered and put on posters in order to show solidarity with brave people in Iran whose human rights have been harshly violated. More than one year after the protests to the presidential elections in Iran the regime has intimidated the population with brutal violence show trials and omnipresence of police and anti riot forces. Although mass media in the West does not cover much about the prevailing silent protest in Iran and all over the world against the military Coup d'etat from last year, people in the streets of Eindhoven were informed about the hardness of life and the opressions of the regime in Iran.

Belgium is aware of the inhuman system in Iran

Amnesty International and the International Committee to support the rights of Sufis and Students in Iran took actions in Brussels and Gent

Amnesty International Belgium went to the streets on the 18th of september to inform and to protest against the danger of a woman in Iran being stoned. The case of Sakineh Ashtiani has become well known abroad through the work of her lawyer Mohammed Mostafei who had to flee Iran for fear of persecution and torture. Amnesty declared in Brussels that stoning is an incredible cruel punishment that not only is a torture for the person being stoned but also involves onlookers in the public murder.

Several celebrities in France have already protested against the danger of Mrs Ashtianis sentence of being stoned.

Friends of the International Committee for the rights of dervishes and students in Iran travelled from Germany, Netherlands and France to Gent for another action called "A face for human rights in Iran". As in preceding actions they gathered more than hundred faces of people dedicated to the human rights in Iran. In Gent a cultural festival took place with people from various countries visiting. On the Kouter marketplace regional artists displayed their work and participated with dedication at the action of the Committee. Next action will be on 2nd of october in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

‘A FACE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IN IRAN’

KOUTER (in front of ING Bank), GHENT, BELGIUM 18 September 2010 -From 13:00 till 16:00 hrs

The prisoner's worst nightmare is the thought of being forgotten.

Please join us in claiming respect for human rights in Iran. During the solidarity action of Saturday, September 18, you can show the people of Iran that you have not forgotten them. You can support the Iranian people by having a picture taken of your face. Every face is a symbol of freedom, equality and brotherhood with those who are risking their lives for these values.

We urge the Iranian authorities to:

· Ensure that families and lawyers of those held and imprisoned are notified immediately of their arrest and whereabouts, and allow them immediate and regular access. Detainees and prisoners should be granted adequate medical care;

· Ensure that no one detained is tortured or otherwise ill-treated;

· Release all prisoners of conscience. These include human rights defenders, journalists, students, and political activists;

· Release all other detainees held for political reasons unless they are to be tried promptly on recognizably criminal charges and without recourse to the death penalty, in proceedings which fully meet international fair trial guarantees. Those imprisoned after unfair trails should have their cases reviewed as a matter of urgency;

· Review, as a matter of urgency, vaguely worded laws that do not amount to recognizably criminal offences and which restrict the legitimate exercise of the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly;

· Facilitate, as a matter of urgency, visits to Iran by relevant UN human rights mechanisms, particularly the UN Special Rapporteurs on torture, on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions and on freedom of opinion and expression, to allow independent international scrutiny of the human rights situation so that their assessments and recommendations contribute to ensuring that those responsible for ordering or committing violations are held to account.

Stand up for the unjustly imprisoned, stand up against executions by stoning and be their voice!

Next actions:

• October 2, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
• November 13, Frankfurt, Germany
• December 4, Strasbourg, France
