Steinar Strandheim 5:04pm Jan 24 To the Foreign Minister/Secretary of State: I am writing to you out of deep concern for the appalling human rights situation in Iran, particularly the Islamic Republic's use of execution, rape and torture to terrorize people. Iran executes the most people per capita in the world. There are currently several people facing imminent execution for alleged political affiliations, including Zanyar and Loghman Moradi. Zanyar was arrested at the age of 15, while Loghman was only 24. They were arrested during the 2009 post-election unrest, respectively on 1 August 2009 and 17 October 2009 in Marivan. During the first 9 months of their detention, no charges of murder were brought against them. They were forced to "confess" to allegations of murder after being tortured for a period of 25 days and threatened with rape. Both are denied access to adequate medical treatment. The Islamic Republic has executed over 600 people between December 2010 and November 2011. In the first month of 2012, there have been more than 50 executions. It is time to oppose the non-stop slaughter of Iranian people by the regime in Iran. I urge you to oppose the Islamic Republic regime's daily acts of political imprisonment, torture, rape and execution of people in Iran. A regime that resorts to these methods to maintain its power has no legitimacy, as millions of Iranian protesters in the streets of Tehran and other cities have declared. The Islamic Republic's embassies and offices should be closed in the firmest possible gesture of diplomatic sanctions. The regime in Iran is not a legitimate government, and no one should treat it as such. Those members of the Islamic Republic responsible for over 30 years of systematic and widespread rape, torture, stoning and execution in Iran should be tried in international court for their crimes against humanity. Withdrawing international recognition of this regime is the first step governments can take down the road toward justice for people in Iran.
