Iran: intent

The daily Etemaad reported that a man, Reza, 35 is hanged in the prison of Isfahan.
The man was sentenced to death for killing two years ago a woman at her workplace.




The order for the execution of Saeed Jazee is authorized by the head of judiciary Hashemi Shahroudi, which means he is in imminent danger of execution.
Amnesty International calls for urgent action. He is sentenced to death for the murder on a 22-year-old, which he committed in 2003 when he was 17 years of age.
This happened during a fight in a shop and the shopemployees as Jazee said always that the killing was unintentional.


The EU also spoke of her concern about the arrest of six Bahaíleaders in Iran.
The European Union called on Iran to uphold fully the right to adopt and practice a religion of choice, to end the persecution of the Baha'i community, and to release the six members of the Baha'i faith.
The Bahaí International Community stated that the allegations by Iran that six Bahá’ís were arrested last week “for security reasons and not for their faith” are utterly baseless and without documentation.
According to them the accusations are not new and the Iranian government knows well that they are untrue.
The charges made by Iran, linking the Bahá’ís to Zionism are a distortion of history. The Bahá’í Faith has its world headquarters in Israel because the founder of the religion was, in the mid-1800s, banned there by two Islamic countries: Ottoman Turkey and Iran.
Furthermore the statement says among other things that the Iranian government cannot tolerate that people are less responsive to the government’s propaganda, because they see the reality.
Bahaís, who love their country to its well-being, are peace-loving, and are law-abiding, and that this stem from their beliefs.
Consequence is that there is growing sympathy for the Bahá’ís.
