Post-election protester in poor mental and physical condition in prison

Ayub Qanbarpourian, who was arrested after the elections, is in very poor mental and physical condition in prison but the Tehran Prosecutor and prison officials have refused to grant him a leave from prison.

He has been detained for more than a year and has been only able to see his family a few times because they live in another town and cannot easily come to Tehran.

He was sentenced to five years of prison after months of being kept in a state of limbo in cellblocks 350 and 209 in Evin Prison.

This 20 year old political prisoner is from Koh Dasht Village in Lorestan and worked as a construction worker in Tehran. He was arrested for participating in the peaceful demonstrations in protest to election results.

Qanbarpourian supported his family after he lost his father and his family has been facing financial hardships in the past few months.

He is currently detained in cellblock 350 in Evin along with many other political prisoners. His family and fellow prisoners are severely concerned for his mental and physical condition to the point that everyday, a number of political prisoners in this cellblock take the responsibility of looking out for him in prison.

According to reports, Mehri Javan Mahjoub, who was a former political prisoner in the 80’s and is the wife of political prisoner Abedi Ba Khoda was arrested yesterday and taken to the Lakan Prison in Rasht.

Mahjoub Doust, 52, was summoned to the 4^th branch of the Revolutionary Court on Tuesday November 16 and was interrogated for a prolonged amount of time for having a computer and satellite receiver in her home and for describing her husband’s condition to the international media and human rights organizations. A 50 million toman (50,000 dollar) bail order was then issued for her. She was only given 2 hours to provide the bail money and she said that she could not afford to pay this amount stressing that she had not committed any crime for which she would have to pay bail for.

Mahjoub Doust was kept in Police Station number 5 in Rasht until 7 pm and was subsequently transferred to the Lakan Prison in Rasht without being officially convicted.

Before this, agents of the Ministry of Intelligence had raided her home and seized some of their personal belongings.

Mahjoub Doust is suffering from numerous physical ailments such as heart problems, arthritis and migraines.

She was the caretaker of her husband, Abedi Bakhoda who was on a medical leave from prison to receive surgery and was hospitalized at home. She was responsible for most of his nursing including giving him injections. Abedi Bakhoda was shot in the spinal cord in the 80’s when security forces were trying to arrest him and has become crippled. He is confined to a wheelchair and cannot move. Security forces have arbitrary and illegally arrested Mahjoub Doust to put more pressure on this family, especially her husband. (Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran – Nov. 17, 2010)

Religious freedom deteriorates in Iran: US

The US government said Wednesday that respect for religious freedom deteriorated in Afghanistan and Iran while China and Indonesia earned mixed scorecards.

In its report on international religious freedom for the last year, the US State Department also raised sharp complaints about Myanmar and North Korea as well as US allies Egypt and Saudi Arabia…

The report said 'government respect for religious freedom continued to deteriorate in Iran, with which the US government is locked in a showdown over its nuclear ambitions and human rights.

‘The government severely restricted freedom of religion and reports of government imprisonment, harassment, intimidation, and discrimination based on religious beliefs continued during the reporting period,' the report said.

Iranian Muslims who were not from the majority Shiite group faced 'substantial societal discrimination,' it said.

‘And government rhetoric and actions created a threatening atmosphere for nearly all non-Shia religious groups, most notably Bahais, as well as Sufi Muslims, evangelical Christians, members of the Jewish community,' it said. (AFP - Nov 17, 2010)

وخامت حال جسمي و روحي ايوب قنبر پوريان

ايوب قنبرپوريان يکي از زندانيان حوادث پس از انتخابات ،وضعيت جسماني و روحي بسيار نامناسبي دارد اما با اين حال دادستان تهران و مسئولان زندان با مرخصي او مخالفت مي کنند .

به گزارش کلمه، او که بيش از يک سال در زندان است تنها چند بار توانسته با خانواده و بستگان خود ملاقات کند، چرا که خانواده اش در شهرستان زندگي مي کنند و به سختي امکان سفر به تهران را پيدا مي کنند.

او پس از ماه ها بلاتکليفي و زنداني بودن در بند ۳۵۰ و ۲۰۹ به پنج سال حبس تعزيري محکوم شد .

ايوب قنبرپوريان ، ۲۰ ساله و اهل يکي از روستاهاي کوه دشت لرستان است که در تهران به عنوان کارگر ساختمان مشغول به کار بوده است . او در تظاهرات هاي مسالمت آميز مردم در اعتراض به نتيجه انتخابات ۲۲ خرداد ۱۳۸۸ شرکت داشته و به همين دليل بازداشت و روانه زندان شده است .

قنبرپوريان به دليل از دست دادن پدرش، سرپرست خانواده بوده و در تمام ماههاي گذشته ،خانواده او با مشکلات مالي فراوان دست به گريبان بوده اند.

وي هم اکنون در بند ۳۵۰ زندان اوين به همراه بسياري ديگر زندانيان سياسي به سر مي برد. خانواده قنبر پوريان و هم بندي هاي او نسبت به وضعيت جسمي و روحي او به شدت اظهار نگراني مي کنند تا جايي که هر روز چند نفر از زندانيان سياسي اين بند مسئوليت مراقبت از او را در زندان به عهده مي گيرند.

آرزوی مادرم ایران ،کاشک دخترانم را....

درفرازونشیبهای سفر،درگذرگاههای پرپیچ وخم تاریخ به سرزمین شبها رسیدم.آنجا که زوزه باد ،آدمی را ،به یاد رنجها ودردها میاندازد.

ناله ای غم انگیزمرابه خود ،جلب کرد،جلوتررفتم.

خش خش گامهایم را،برتن افسرده تکیده اش شنیدم.آه وناله پیرزن بی جان وناتوانی بودکه به آسمان میرفت..کسی رانمیدیدم ولی حس کردم که هست.

فریاد کشیدم کیستی؟کجایی؟

جوابی نشنیدم جزطوفانی که تمامی خشم رادربرداشت وناله ای که همه دردرا.

دوباره پرسیدم کجایی؟نزدیکتر که رفتم آرامشی گرفت وجواب داد.همین جایم.

دستهایم رادرازکردم تالمسش کنم.دستنش را جلوآورد که بمانند دست پیرزنی بود.

_ مادرهستی؟

جواب داد :بودم

فرزندانم را جلاد به گناه ناکرده دارشان زد ومن با هرکدامشان شکنجه شدم ومردم .

مادربیچاره آهی کشید .آنها که زنده ماندند،کوچ کردندوچشمان من هنوز به د نبالشان وتنم درانتطار به آغوش کشیدنشان.

_ازکجا میآیی؟

ازسرزمین ناامیدیها.آنجا که آزادی را درقبرها می یابی وشیطان را برجایگاه پیامبران .آنجا که مجا لی برای سپیده دم نیست ،تنهای زخمی را درمانی وغصه ها را پایانی نیست  .

درآنجا ظالمان نام خدا رامیبرند وجلادان فرزندان  خدارا به آتش میکشند.آنجا که زنان را درملا ئ مردم سنگسارمیکنند ودرپیش طفلانشان شکنجه.

آزآنجا میآیم که گلوله  های سربی داغ برتن دختران شکنجه  شده ام شیرینی نقل های جشن  عروسی شیاطین را دارد.

آنجا که حیثیت وشخصیت زنانم به بها نه های واهی درکوچه وبازارها تاسرحد جنون وخشنونت به گنداب ازتجاع آلوده است.

آنجا که دختران معصوم وپاک مرا دست بسته به عروسی شغالان ناپا ک میبرند تاحکم تجاوزشان را "شرعی وقانونی" جلوه دهند.

درآن ظلمات شب آسمان می شنید که  مادرچه میگوید.آهی کشید .ابرها  از گوشه  وکنارپیدیدارمیشدند وجلوی ستارگان رامیگرفتند.دیگرازستاره ها  خبری نبودوآسمان پرابرباریدن گرفت .

برگهای درختان ازباران شسته میشدند وقطرات اشک ازچهره چروکیده مادرجاری.بغضش راقورت داد وگفت  میدانی؟روزگاری مادران ،طفلانشان راازگرمی آغوششان به لطافت گهواره های خانه های من میسپردندتا خواب های شیرین کودکانه ببینندولی امروزآن دستها جسدهای عزیران پاک ومعصومشان را درگورهای سرد وتاریک میگذارند.من ازآن سرزمینم که دختران نوجوانم سرمایه پدرومادرشان شده اند تالقمه نانی بدست آورند.

جلوتررفتم که صدایش راتا اعماق قلبم فررفته بود بهتر بشنوم.ازاوپرسیدم که چه میخواهی برایت بکنم؟

به  زجه هایم گوش کن !بعد توبگو توکه  مثل من یک زن هستی ودردم را میفهمی چه میخواستی برایت بکنند اگر توجای من بودی؟

جای زنان ودختران نوجوان وگاه خردسال من که قربانی این ظالمان وگرفتار اعتیاد و فسادوفحشا وگدایی شد ه اند.جای دختران معصومی که شبها خواب فرشته های آبی می بینند تا لقمه نان فردایشان دهد بلکه یک روزجسم نحیفشان رابه فروش نگذارند.

اگرتوبودی چه میخواستی؟

گاه آرزومیکنم که کاش دخترانم رادربدوتولد زنده بگورمیکردم تا هرلحظه زندگیشان را به گور...

بعدازلحظه ای سکوت ،مادرم ؛ ایران، دستها یش را بسویم درازونگاه منتظرش را به آسمان کرد ..
