You’re Excellencies;
Dear Dr. Ban ki-Moon, the Secretary-General of the United Nations
Dear Dr. Navi Pillay, the high commissar for UN Human Rights
Subject: urgent consideration of the medical condition in the Iranian prisons
It has come to our attention that you are due to attend a meeting with the Iranian authorities regarding the violations of human rights. We are a group of families that have become victims of the fact that our beloved ones have got incarcerated for being politically active, they are prisoners of conscience, we wish to stress the urgency of the matters discussed below and expect that you will take any measures necessary to protect these prisoners’ human rights.
We desperately yearn to draw your attention to the grave situation existing inside the Iranian prisons; Prisoners are deprived of medical care and refused access to the care facilities inside the prison. This has put the lives of the imprisoned in great danger and exposed them to immense peril and made their families anxious and worried.
The physicians in the prisons are being pressured by the government not to act according to their oath and obligations. These doctors will risk their jobs and lives if they would to follow their professional obligations and treat the prisoners. It is these matters amongst others which have led to the prisoners’ mistrust of the health care inside the prison.
It has been reported numerous times that prisoners who are working as informants for the opposition has been transferred to cells where chemical and poisonous gases are kept. According to the reports, these gases have had severe consequences for the prisoners’ health. Moreover the overfilling of the prisons by the vast increase of intake of detainees, unhealthy and inadequate food standards, inhumane conduct and torture by both physical and psychological means and a more radical attitude towards the incarcerated prisoners has further intensified the crisis that existed. The psychological torture or the “silent and invisible” torture as it sometimes is called in prison, has become more vile since the torture more and more lead to paralysis, damages to the nervous system and gradually to death, all this without leaving any visible marks.
The actions of the governments and the human rights communities around the world whom claim to defend human rights have been very limited and the aid provided has been only at a minimal level. At the best, communities and nations have been condemning the anti- human rights actions of the Islamic republic of Iran, all of this without any international effort to release the political prisoners. We should not forget that these issues are dated 30 years back; violations of human rights have been a re-occurring method of the oppressing regime in Iran but gone by unnoticed by the world community and human rights organisations, due to the immense focus on the words of Iran’s autocratic regime and its representatives and the current nuclear issue.
We ask you to take the necessary actions against the tragic treatment of the political prisoners taking place in the prisons of Iran. We suggest that you send physicians under the observation of the UN to visit the Iranian prisons immediately

نامه سرگشاده خانواده زندانیان سیاسی در ایران به سازمان ملل متحد
عالیجناب دکتر بان کی مون، دبیر کل محترم سازمان ملل متحد،
خانم دکتر ناوی پیلای، کمیسر عالی حقوق بشر سازمان ملل متحد،
2010.05.08
موضوع: رسیدگی اضطراری به وضعیت درمانی در زندانهای ایران
با درود و احترام،
اطلاع یافتیم که شما عازم ایران هستید و با مقامات ایران در خصوص مسائل مربوط به حقوق بشر گفتگو خواهید داشت از اینرو ما جمعی از خانواده های زندانیان سیاسی و عقیدتی نکات زیر را به عرض شما میرسانیم و ازشما انتظار داریم برای نجات جان این زندانیان و آزادی فوری آنان
اقدامات لازم را صورت دهید.
محرومیت زندانیان از خدمات پزشکی و درمانی در زندانهای ایران تبدیل به یک معضل بزرگ شده است که جان اکثر زندانیان بی پناه را به مخاطره انداخته و خانواده های آنها را شدیدا نگران کرده است.
پزشکان شاغل در زندانها توسط حکومت به گونه ای تحت فشار قرار می گیرند که قادر به انجام تعهدات انسانی و صنفی خود نیستند و در غیر اینصورت اخراج شده و یا حتی به طرز مشکوکی به قتل می رسند که این امر باعث بی اعتمادی زندانیان از درمان در محیط زندان شده است.
اخیرا مواردی از انتقال زندانیان به سلولهائی که گازهای سمی و شیمیائی در آنها پخش می شود، گزارش شده است که عوارض جبران ناپذیر جسمی به دنبال دارد. همچنین افزایش روز افزون بازداشت ها، تغذیه ناکافی و ناسالم، نبود امکانات بهداشتی و درمانی، خرابی تاسیسات و برخوردهای غیرانسانی مامورین، بحران را در زندانها تشدید کرده است. چنین شکنجه های بی صدا و نامرئی، بسی فجیع تر از شکنجه های جسمی است زیرا بدون آنکه رد پائی از آنها باقی بماند، باعث تخریب اعصاب و از کار افتادن اعضای بدن و در نهایت مرگ تدریجی می گردد.
متاسفانه اقدامات مجامع حقوق بشری و دولتهای حامی حقوق بشر، صرفا در حد محکومیتهای ابتدائی بوده و فعالیت بین المللی موثر برای نجات زندانیان انجام نگرفته است و از سوی دیگر، موضوع نقض گسترده حقوق بشر در این کشور تحت ستم، قربانی توجهات جهان به مهار کردن ماجراجوئی های تسلیحاتی گردانندگان مستبد ایران شده است، لذا از شما تقاضا داریم شخصا فاجعه انسانی در زندانهای ایران را مورد رسیدگی قرار دهید و هیاتی متشکل از ناظران حقوق بشر و پزشکان معتمد را بطور اضطراری برای بازدید از زندانهای ایران، اعزام فرمائید.
در پایان، نام برخی از زندانیان سرشناس عقیدتی و سیاسی از جنبش های مختلف اعتراضی و با گرایشات سیاسی و عقیدتی گوناگون ، شامل: مخالفین حکومت دینی، اقلیت های مذهبی، فعالین اتنیکی و اقوام ایرانی، کمپین حقوق زنان، دانشجویان، روزنامه نگاران، کارگران، معلمان، فعالین حقوق بشر و هنرمندان به شرح ذیل اعلام می گردد:
آیت الله بروجردی ؛ منصور اسانلو؛ فرزاد کمانگر ؛ بهروزجاوید تهرانی ؛ حشمت الله طبرزدی ؛ شیوا نظر آهاری ؛ شیرین علم هولی ؛ احمد زید آبادی ؛بهاره هدایت ؛ عیسی سحرخیز؛ عبدالله مومنی ؛ مسعود باستانی؛ کاوه کرمانشاهی ؛بهمن احمدی امویی ؛ مهدی خدایی، محمد اولیایی فرد ؛ بدرالسادات مفیدی ؛ میلاد ابراهیمیان، عبدالرضا احمدی، دکتر حسام فیروزی، نصور نقیپور، لاله حسنپور؛ شبنم مددزاده ؛ مهدی محمودیان ؛ مجتبی لطفی ؛ رضا خندان ؛ احمد قابل روحانی نواندیش ؛ مهدی ترابی ؛ امیر احسان تهرانی سخاوت و نیما گلزاری ، راضیه عالمی ، محمد نوریزاد ، مسعود لواسانی ؛ سهند علی محمدی، بخشعلی محمدی و عبادالله قاسم زاده از پیروان اهل حق در زندان یزد؛ میترا عا لی ؛ ارسلان ابدی؛ ایمان زارعی ، میثم بیک محمدی ، کیارش کامرانی ؛ جعفر پناهی ؛ آرش صادقی ؛ سلامت مهدوی گلرو ؛ علی ملیحی ؛ مجید توکلی ؛ محبوبه کرمی ؛ درسا سبحانی ( بهائی *) ؛ مرجان صفری ؛ نفیسه مجتهدی ؛ مراد حسن لو ؛ زهرا اسدپور گرجی ؛ عبدالله مومنی ؛ تهمینه مومنی ؛ فاطمه خرم لو ؛ مریم ضیا ؛ آذر منصوری ؛ هنگامه شهیدی ؛ لی لی فرهادپور؛ زینب جلالیان ؛ سوسن محمد خانی ؛ محمد امین عبداللهی ؛ برادران علا ئی ( دکتر آرش و کامبارعلا ئی ) ….؛

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

I drop a comment each time I especially enjoy a post on a website or I have something to contribute to the conversation. Usually it is caused by the passion communicated in the article I looked at. And after this article An open letter by the families of the Iranian prisoners to the United Nations | Street Journalist. I was moved enough to drop a thought ;-) I actually do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to mind. Could it be simply me or do some of these responses appear like written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting on additional online social sites, I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Would you list every one of all your shared pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

Moving home in Germany is extremely expensive, indeed the few miles from my little village to the barn require me to pay 2000.00 Euros, around it would have require me to pay having a UK removal firm to move my household goods completely from Wales to southern Germany. Labour costs in Germany make moving house very costly, perhaps one of the reasons why the labour marketplace is less flexible – people would rather stay there once they’ve moved to a place.
Thanks for constructing your site web site, I located yourself on Yahoo as well as I need to assert I will be content. Be thankful all over again
I recently came across your blog and also swiftly scanned alongside. I’ve come across a few weird feedback, nevertheless typically I merely believe what the some other rewiewers say. With so many nicegreat testimonials involving this site, I thought which i might in addition jump in and also explain how I truly enjoyed reading through this website. And so i consider this might help to make my initial comment: “I can see that you’ve created a number of really interesting points. Manufactured men and women might truly consider this how we merely would. Now i’m actually satisfied that there are a great deal concerning this matter that has been bare so you achieved it consequently well, with a lot school!inch
I was very happy to find this net-site.I wished to thanks to your time for this wonderful learn!! I definitely having fun with each little little bit of it and I¡¯ve you bookmarked to take a look at new stuff you weblog post.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
I believe that avoiding processed foods may be the first step so that you can lose weight. They may taste beneficial, but highly processed foods include very little vitamins and minerals, making you eat more simply to have enough energy to get over the day. If you’re constantly eating these foods, changing to whole grain products and other complex carbohydrates will help you have more strength while having less. Good blog post.
Heya this is a superb write-up. I’m going to email this to my buddies. I came on this while searching on aol I’ll be sure to come back. thanks for sharing.
