Honourable Mr President,
With regard to your visit to Iran, we - as a left democrat organisation and a part of the Iranian opposition - hereby direct your attention to the suppression of human rights in Iran.
Since the June 2009 presidential elections in Iran, thousands of Iranians have been detained, hundreds of them have been tortured, and several sentenced to death and executed in prisons. The only motivation for the Iranian regime for such brutality is the fear of Iranian rulers that the broad protests by millions of Iranians destabilise the dictatorship of the Shiite clergy and military.
Some Iranian labour leaders like Mansour Osalou, the chairman of Tehran's Public Transportation Workers' Union, have been prisoners for years, for the only reason that the Iranian regime does not tolerate independent unions. Tens of Iranian women have been convicted just because they have requested equal rights for men and women. Many university students are among political prisoners for no reason than supporting the opposition. Several members of ethnic and religious minorities have been arrested and some of them been executed during the last eight months.
The Brazilian people have a rich history of fighting against dictatorship and tyranny. Your personal experience of enduring engagement for workers' rights makes us confident that our appeal to your solidarity with the Iranian workers, women, students and other Iranian citizens standing for freedom, democracy and social justice will be heard. Thousands of members and supporters of progressive and leftist parties and organisations in Iran hope that you address the situation of human rights in Iran during your visit in Tehran. The Iranian left have been standing for international solidarity since decades and is known as a member of the world-wide community of workers' movements. As a member of this family, we appeal to the solidarity of progressive forces all over the world with the Iranian people.
Mr. President,
Please ask the Iranian authorities why hundreds of Iranian citizens are still held in prisons on political charges. Please demand the release of all political prisoners in Iran. Please support our struggle for the immediate ceasing of all executions in Iran.
Mr. President,
The Iranian people will finally overcome tyranny and dictatorship.
What will survive is the friendship of our nation with other peoples who have supported the Iranians' fight for freedom. This is a lesson of history that the people of Brazil have already experienced.
Sincerely Yours,
Political-Executive Board of the Organization of Iranian People’s Fadaian – Majority
