From Tweets
- Section1 of Evin is so crowded that the use of shower and phone is limited to less than once per week.
(NOTE: I don't want to put the person who posted this in any danger, so I didn't link to the original tweet)
- CALL TO ACTION ON #IRANELECTION "9 protesters to die" - WRITE TO SAVE THEIR LIVES! #NOT1MORE:
Everyone MUST READ - Article found via @iran_letter Aljazeera English: '9 to die' over Iran protests
THAT ARTICLE IS SERIOUS BUSINESS. WE MUST WRITE TO ALL HUMAN RIGHTS ORG'S AND TO THE KILLER, SADEGH LARIJANI!
They want to execute the 9 protesters and they will do it whenever they feel so.
In article Al Jazeera quotes a senior judiciary official saying: Iran will "soon execute" another nine people arrested over anti-government protests last year.
The article continues that the decision really lies with the head of the judiciary, Sadegh Larijani, and also Tehran's chief prosecutor, Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi.
Recently Larijani said he will not give in to political pressure to carry out quick executions...
Pfffft! You're kidding me right??
Do not believe Larijani!
I REPEAT MYSELF, DO NOT BELIEVE LARIJANI.
Larijani will execute the 9 people just as fast as he did Arash & Mohammad, silently while no one expects it! HE IS A KILLER LIKE THEM ALL IN THE IR. WE MUST CONDEMN AND WRITE TO EVERYONE TO PREVENT ANOTHER INHUMANE ARASH & MOHAMMAD EXECUTION!
WE MUST WRITE! We are given warning now, if we don't write, then we don't care. It's that simple.
DO YOU CARE? PLEASE WRITE TODAY!
THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD, DON'T EVER FORGET THIS!
EMAIL EACH BELOW:
1) UN High Commissioner for HumanRights Navi Pillay : npillay@ohchr.org, & General: idp@ohchr.org
