Female student activist sentenced to another year of prison

Another year of prison was added to the prison term of student political prisoner Mahdieh Golroh.

“What we were afraid of finally happened and the suspended one year prison term for Mahdieh was carried out”, her husband Vahid Lalipour said.

According to the Evin Prison Court, Mahdieh Golroh was sentenced to three years of prison which consists of two years of prison and a one year of suspended prison.

This is while only one day after the one year suspended prison term was announced, Mahdieh was arrested and in this short time, she did not commit any crimes and also the sentence was not effective when she was arrested. Therefore, the sentence is illegal in practice. (Guya News Website – Aug. 23, 2010)

Reliable Source Reports Of Group Executions Inside Mashad’s Vakil Abad Prison

An informed source told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran that over the past few months, the Iranian judicial authorities have ordered the hanging of over one hundred individuals inside Mashad’s Vakil Abad Prison. According to this source, most of those executed were sentenced based on drug-related charges and the executions continue. “Last Wednesday 68, people were hung and over the coming weeks the executions will continue,” said the source.

The source stated that the number of individuals on death row inside Vakil Abad Prison’s Wards 101, 102, 103, and 104 as well as the Quarantine Ward is “in the hundreds.” The Campaign refrains from publishing the reported statistics pending confirmation from other sources. The Campaign asks the Iranian judicial authorities to be accountable regarding news about the weekly group executions of drug-related convicts and to provide exact statistics about events taking place inside Mashad’s Vakil Abad Prison.

Sadegh Larijani recently wrote a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, asking him for directions about what to do with the convicts, the source told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran.

In order to verify the accuracy of the reports about the executions of drug-related criminals in Mashad, we asked Ahmad Ghabel, a theological researcher and a student of the late Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri. Ghabel was arrested immediately after Mr. Montazeri’s death on 20 December 2009, and served 170 days in prison before he was released on bail. The Campaign asked Mr. Ghabel whether he was aware of similar executions during his imprisonment at Vakil Abad Prison. “I never saw any of these prisoners up close. I never tried to see outside my cell through the door or the window, but I heard the news. Soldiers are people just like you and me and they transfer news. I learned through news I received during fresh air breaks that 50 people were executed during the 170 days I was there,” said Ahmad Ghabel. He told the Campaign that though he doesn’t have direct information about the executions of individuals under the age of 18, he does remember hearing the prison guards talking about two youths under 18 among those executed.

“Inside our ward, Ward 6/1, in addition to cells where prisoners would serve their long prison terms, there were also suites where those on the death row would be brought a few hours before the execution. The situation would change so drastically, everyone would know a death-row inmate was inside the ward. All doors would close and if this was during the times when prisoners could make telephone calls, the lines would be disconnected. Even other prison authorities could not move about at this time, because Ward 6/1 was directly managed by the prison Intelligence Unit,” added the theological researcher.

“I have not conducted my own research on this, and I have been following the media news about it. Unfortunately, I have no access to my ex-cellmates, either. All I know is that the families of those executed read the number [of those executed] on the forms when they came to take the bodies. I think it is fair to say that these facts are undeniable. Prison guards and other prisoners are also members of the society and people like to talk about events like this, spreading the news. Especially as events like this are not unprecedented in our country,” said Ahmad Ghabel about news of 70 executions over the past few days.

The Campaign asked Ahmad Ghabel whether it is conceivable for such a large number of prisoners to have death sentences. “It is quite customary to have people with death sentences remain in prison for a long time,” Ghabel replied.

“People convicted of murder get the death penalty, but their families are given time to seek the forgiveness of the victims’ families and to attempt swapping the death penalty with diya [blood money]. Also, there are people who are sentenced to death because of carrying illegal arms, but they also have a prison sentence which they must serve prior to the execution. As we speak, there are hundreds of people inside prisons who received their death sentences several years ago. Even inside Ward 1/6 where I was serving, there was an individual who had been in prison for 13 years for illegally carrying. He had a death sentence, too. Another case is another suspect I was handcuffed to one time when returning from the court. His charge was possession of 70 kilograms of crystal meth and while serving a long prison term, he had also received a death sentence,” he added.

The source who provided the Campaign with detailed information about the group executions of Vakil Abad Prison said that the death row convicts are held inside Ward 6 of the prison which is under the oversight of the prison’s Intelligence Unit. Each month there are two sets of executions and in each set between 30 to 40 individuals are hung at once. “For example, between September 2009 and May 2010, almost 150 people were executed, but there was only one public announcement about the executions of five people on 3 April 2010. But on that date 35 people were executed, eight of whom were women,” said the source.

Other information received by the Campaign indicates that the frequency of mass executions has increased from twice per month to four during the recent month. Sources say total number of people executed is between 60 and 70. “There are hundreds of people on the death row inside Mashad’s Vakil Abad Prison,” another source said.

According to the said source, on the days when group executions are to take place, Vakil Abad Prison’s telephone lines are cut off. Ward 6/1 does not have public telephones and prisoners are only allowed short telephone calls once or twice per week.

The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran expresses its deep concern about the ambiguous conditions and statistics of executions offered by various sources and their discrepancies with the numbers announced by officials. The Campaign demands accountability and clear information about the group executions inside Vakil Abad Prison and other prisons in the country.

"يک منبع موثق خبراز اعدام هاي گسترده در زندان وکيل آباد  مشهد داد" 

يک منبع موثق به کمپين بين المللي حقوق بشردر ايران گفت که مقامات قضايي در زندان وکيل آباد مشهد طي چند ماه گذشته بيش از صد نفر که اکثريت قريب به اتفاق آنها محکومان موادمخدري بوده اند را اعدام کرده اند و اين اعدام ها همچنان ادامه دارد. به گفته اين منبع هر هفته  ده ها نفر از محکومان به اعدام که اکثريت قريب به اتفاق آنها جرائم مربوط به مواد مخدر دارند در زندان وکيل آباد مشهد به دار اويخته مي شوند:"چهار شنبه گذشته ۶۸ نفر اعدام شدند و طي هفته هاي آتي هم گفته شده که اعدام ها ادامه خواهد داشت."

به گفته وي آمار محکومان به اعدام در زندان وکيل آبادمشهد در پنج بند ۱۰۱، ۱۰۲، ۱۰۳، ۱۰۴ و نيز بند قرنطيه بالغ بر صدها نفر مي باشد. کمپين از انتشار جزييات اماردريافتي تا تاييد آن توسط منابع ديگر خودداري مي کند و از مسوولين قضايي ايران مي خواهد درباره خبرهايي که در زمينه اعدام هفتگي دسته جمعي محکومان موادمخدري مطرح شده است پاسخگو باشد و به ارائه اطلاعات دقيق از آنچه که در اين زندان در حال انجام است بپردازد.

منبع ياد شده به کمپين بين المللي حقوق بشر در ايران گفت که اخيرا صادق لاريجاني نامه اي به آيت الله خامنه اي رهبر ايران نوشته و درخصوص محکومان به اعدام کسب تکليف کرده است.

براي اطلاع گرفتن از صحت و سقم خبرهايي که در خصوص اعدام گسترده زندانيان موادمخدري در مشهد توسط منبع ياد شده به کمپين رسيده است در همين خصوص از احمد قابل، پژوهشگر ديني و از شاگردان آيت الله منتظري که خرداد ماه ۸۹ پس از مراسم تشييع استادش در نيشابور بازداشت و پس از تحمل ۱۷۰ روز زندان در زندان  با قرار وثيقه ۵۰ ميليون توماني آزاد شد دراين خصوص پرسش کرديم. او در پاسخ به سوال کمپين درخصوص صحت اعدام هايي از اين دست حداقل در زماني که در زندان وکيل آباد بوده است گفت:"من هيچکدام از زنداني ها را از نزديک نديدم و مثل بقيه از لاي پنجره و در سرک نمي کشيدم اما خبر ها را مي شنيدم. سربازان زندان هم مثل من و شما انسان هستند و خبرها را به هم منتقل مي کنند. طي اخباري که آنها به هنگام هواخوري مي دادند ما شاهد اعدام ۵۰ نفر در همان ۱۷۰ روز بوديم." وي به کمپين گفت خبري از اعدام زير ۱۸ ساله ها ندارد اما به خاطر مي آورد که به گفته نگهبانان زندان، دو جوان ۱۸ ساله در بين آن ۵۰ نفر زنداني مشهد وجود داشته اند.

اين پژوهشگر ديني ادامه داد:" بند ۶/۱ جايي که ما بوديم، علاوه بر اينکه محل نگهداري زنداني هاي دراز مدت بود سوييت هايي هم داشت که اعداميان را چند ساعت قبل از اعدامشان به آنجا مي آورند و شرايط چنان تغيير مي کرد که همه متوجه مي شدند که يک اعدامي در بند است. به طوري که همه درها بسته مي شد، اگر زمان تماس تلفني بود تلفن ها قطع مي شدند و حتي تردد ساير مسوولان زندان هم ممنوع مي شد چرا که بند ۶/۱ مستقيم زير نظر حفاظت زندان اداره مي شد."

احمد قابل در خصوص خبر  منتشر شده در روزهاي گذشته مبني بر اعدام ۷۰ نفر گفت:"من در اين خصوص تحقيق مجزايي نداشته ام و اين خبر را در رسانه ها خوانده ام. متاسفانه به هم بندان پيشينم هم دسترسي ندارم و تنها مي دانم که خانواده قربانيان هنگام تحويل جنازه اين رقم را در فرمها خوانده اند اما اين را مي دانم که مي توان به قاعده آن را پذيرفت و ظاهرا جايي براي انکار وجود ندارد. به هر حال ماموران زندان و ساير زندانيان بخشي از اين جامعه اند و اخبار اين چنيني سينه به سينه پخش مي شوند. خصوصا که اتفاقاتي از اين دست در کشور ما کم رخ نداده است."

احمد قابل درخصوص اينکه آيا چنين تعداد زيادي از زندانيان مي توانند در زندان با حکم اعدام وجود داشته باشند به کمپين گفت:" يک امر بسيار متداولي در زندان وجود دارد که افراد مدتها در زندان به سر مي برند در حاليکه حکم اعدام دارند."

وي افزود:" افرادي که متهم به قتل هستند به اعدام محکوم مي شوند اما زماني به خانواده شان داده مي شود تا به دنبال جلب عفو خانواده مقتول باشند و اعدام را با ديه جابجا کنند. همچنين، کساني هستند که به جرم حمل سلاح غيرقانوني به اعدام محکوم هستند اما يک دوران زندان هم دارند که بايد پيش از اعدام سرکنند. همين الان که با شما صحبت مي کنم صدها نفر در زندان هستند که چند سال است حکم اعدامشان صادر شده است. حتي در همان بند ۶/۱ که ما زندگي مي کرديم شخصي بود که به مدت ۱۳ سال براي حمل سلاح غيرقانوني زنداني بود و حکم اعدام داشت. مورد ديگر که به هنگام بازگشت از دادگاه ما را به هم دستبند زده بودند فردي بود با جرم داشتن ۷۰ کيلو کريستال که مدتها زنداني بود و در همان زمان حکم اعدام برايش صادر شده بود."

از سوي ديگر به گفته منبعي که اطلاعات دقيقي را از وضعيت اعدامي هاي زندان وکيل در اختيار کمپين گذاشته است محل اعدام متهمان محکوم به اعدام در زندان وکيل آباد مشهد بند ۶ است که تحت حفاظت اطلاعات زندان است ومتهمان در دو سري در هر ماه و هر سري تعدادي بين ۳۰ تا چهل نفر به صورت دسته جمعي اعدام شده اند. اين منبع به کمپين گفت:"به عنوان مثال در ماه هاي مهر ۸۸ تا ارديبهشت ۸۹ تقريبا ۱۵۰ نفر اعدام شده اند ولي تنها يک بار اعلام شده که فقط ۵ نفر اعدام شده اند در تاريخ ۱۹ فرودين ۸۹. در حالي که در اين تاريخ ۳۵ نفر اعدام شدند که هشت تن از آنها زن بودند."

از ديگر اطلاعاتي که در اين زمينه به کمپين رسيده است مي توان به تعداد دفعات اعدام دسته جمعي اشاره کردکه در يک ماه اخير از دو بار در ماه به چهار بار درماه افزايش پيدا کرده است. گفته مي شود تعداد افرادي که اعدام شده اند رقمي بين ۶۰ تا ۷۰ نفر بوده است:"صدها محکوم به اعدام نيز در صف اعدام زندان وکيل آباد مشهد به سر مي برند."

به گفته منبع ياد شده در روزهايي که قراراست اعدام هاي دسته جمعي صورت گيرد تلفن هاي زندان وکيل آباد قطع مي باشد. بند۱-۶ نيز تلفن عمومي ندارد و زنداني ها هر هفته يک يا دوبار به مدت کوتاه اجازه تلفن دارند.

کمپين بين المللي حقوق بشر در ايران نگراني عميق خود را از وضعيت مبهم اعدام ها و آمارو ارقامي که توسط منابع مختلف محلي مطرح شده با آنچه توسط مقامات مطرح مي شود ابراز مي دارد و خواستار پاسخگويي و اطلاع رساني شفاف درباره اعدام هاي گسترده در زندان وکيل آباد و ديگر زندان هاي کشور است.
