As fears rise for the life of Iranian human rights activist, Shiva Nazar-Ahari, demonstrations staged in the past few days by Iranians abroad demanding her release were accompanied with support from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch as well as the European Union.
Human rights websites report that Iranians abroad have been gathering in various cities of the world in the past few days and the gatherings continue today to demand the release of human rights activists, Shiva Nazar-Ahari who has been detained by the Islamic Republic.
Iran’s Committee of Human Rights Reporters (CHRR) has also organized a campaign for the release of their fellow member in Iran.
Iranians in Berlin, London, Paris, Rome, Washington, Frankfurt, Toronto and Gutenberg have staged demonstrations in support of Shiva Nazar-Ahari in recent days.
Amnesty International has also joined in the efforts for the release of Nazar-Ahari. Phillip Luther, Deputy Director of Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa Program condemned the charges against the Iranian human rights activist saying: “Such vague charges do not amount to a recognizable criminal offence. The Iranian authorities must immediately release Shiva Nazar Ahari and drop any charges brought against her solely for the peaceful exercise of her rights to freedom of expression and association.”
He added: “This trial seems to be more about the Iranian security forces seeking to justify the continuation of the clampdown on dissent and human rights defenders than about a genuine process towards obtaining justice.”
In a statement on Wednesday, Human Rights Watch called on the Iranian judiciary to ensure Shiva Nazar-Ahari gets a fair trial including complete access to her lawyer, ample time to prepare for the defence and the ability to challenge the evidence against her.
They also urged the judiciary to “release her from pre-trial detention, where she is being held in violation of international and Iranian law.”
Heidi Hautala, Chairwoman of the European Parliament’s Subcommittee on Human Rights also issued a statement on Wednesday calling for the release of Shiva Nazar-Ahari expressing grave concern that her life may be in danger.
Shiva Nazar-Ahari was arrested in the protests that followed the controversial re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the 2009 presidential elections. She was arrested on June 14, 2009 and released in September of that year on a $200,000 bail.
She was arrested again in December of 2009 prior to the demonstrations that accompanied the funeral of the dissident cleric, Grand Ayatollah Montazeri.
Nazar-Ahari has been kept behind bars since last December on the charges of “assembly and collusion to commit crime”, “propaganda against the regime” and “rebellion against God (moharebeh)”; the last of which can carry the death penalty.
Shiva Nazar-Ahari’s trial is to take place today in Tehran.

اعتراضات به ادامه بازداشت شیوا نظرآهاری
همزمان با تجمعهای ایرانیان خارج از کشور برای آزادی شیوا نظرآهاری، طی روزهای اخیر سازمان عفو بینالملل، سازمان دیدهبان حقق بشر و اتحادیه اروپا نیز از این خواسته حمایت کردهاند
طبق گزارشهای منتشر شده در تارنماهای گروههای حقوق بشری از ایران، ایرانیان خارج از کشور در چند روز اخیر تجمعهایی برای آزادی شیوا نظرآهاری، فعال حقوق بشر در ایران برگزار کردند و امروز، شنبه نیز این گردهماییها ادامه خواهد داشت
همچنین کمپینی از سوی «کمیته گزارشگران حقوق بشر» برای آزادی نظرآهاری تشکیل شده است که طی روزهای گذشته به فعالیتهایی در این راستا دست زده است
در چند روز اخیر در شهرهایی چون برلین، لندن، پاریس، رم، واشنگتن، فرانکفورت، تورنتو و گوتنبرگ در این رابطه تجمعهایی از سوی ایرانیان برپا گردید
از سوی دیگر دو سازمان مدافع حقوق بشر خواهان آزادی این فعال حقوق کودکان و حقوق زنان شدند
فیلیپ لوتر، معاون دبیرکل خاورمیانه سازمان عفو بینالملل در رابطه با اتهامات نظرآهاری گفت:«چنین اتهامات مبهمی نمی تواند به عنوان اتهام کیفری مطرح شود. مقامات ایرانی باید خیلی فوری خانم نظرآهاری را آزاد کنند چرا که او هیچ خلافی مرتکب نشده و فقط به شکل صلحطلبانه به دنبال حق آزادی بیان بوده است
آقای لوتر این محاکمه را « تلاش ماموران اطلاعاتی و امنیتی ایران برای مشروعیت دادن به ادامه سرکوب ناراضیان، دگراندیشان و مدافعان حقوق بشر» دانست
سازمان دیدهبان حقوق بشر نیز سه روز پیش اعلام کرد که قوه قضاییه ایران موظف است دادگاهی عادلانه برای شیوا نظر آهاری تشکیل دهد که شامل دسترسی کامل به وکیل، وقت مناسب جهت آماده شدن به دفاع، و نیز توانایی زیر سوال بردن مدارکی که علیه او ارایه شده باشد. این سازمان از قوه قضاییه ایران خواست که به بازداشت موقت او که «ناقض قوانین بینالملل و ایران میباشد» پایان دهد.
همچنین خانم هاوتالا، رئیس کمیسیون حقوق بشر اروپا در پارلمان این اتحادیه، سه روز پیش با صدور بیانیهای به نام شیوا نظرآهاری، از مسئولان ایرانی خواست وی را فوراً آزاد کنند. خانم هاوتالا در بیانیه خود گفت از این نگران است که «جان خانم شیوا نظرآهاری در خطر باشد
شیوا نظرآهاری، در جریان ناآرامیهای اعتراضات به نتیجه انتخابات دهمین دوره ریاست جمهوری ایران، روز یکشنبه، ۲۴ خرداد ماه ۱۳۸۸، توسط نیروهای امنیتی حکومت ایران در محل کار خود بازداشت و در مهر ماه همان سال با قرار وثیقه ۲۰۰ میلیون تومانی آزاد شد
اما بار دیگر در آذر ماه ۱۳۸۸ پیش از حضور در مراسم خاکسپاری آیتالله منتظری بازداشت و به زندان اوین منتقل گردید.
از آن زمان تا کنون وی در زندان به سر میبرد و اتهامات او، اجتماع و تبانی برای ارتکاب جرم، تبلیغ علیه نظام و محاربه است
نظرآهاری در هر دو بازداشت بعد از انتخابات مدت طولانی را در سلول انفرادی به سر برده است
نگرانی مدافعان حقوق بشر از وضعیت شیوا نظرآهاری به دلیل آن است که وی ممکن است به اتهام محاربه مجازات شود. اتهام محاربه از جمله اتهاماتی است که در جمهوری اسلامی ایران حکم آن مرگ است. وکیل و خانواده وی این اتهام را رد میکنند
طبق اعلام قبلی محاکمه شیوا نظرآهاری قرار است امروز برگزار شود
Considerably, the article is actually the sweetest on this deserving topic. I fit in with your conclusions and also can thirstily look forward to your next updates. Saying thanks can not simply be acceptable, for the perfect lucidity in your writing. I can promptly grab your rss feed to stay informed of any kind of updates. Authentic work and also much success in your business dealings!
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
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 was incredibly pleased to discover that site.I wanted to thank you for this amazing read!! I undoubtedly taking pleasure in each and every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check on out brand new stuff you post.
Awesome piece of information! May I reference part of this on my blog if I post a backlink to this webpage? Thank you.
I seriously appreciate your blog article.Thanks Again and again. Am going to read on…

Have you ever considered adding more videos to your blog posts to keep the readers more entertained? I mean I simply read through the complete article of yours and also it was quite good but since I’m more of a visual learner,I found that to be more helpful well let me know how it turns out! I love what you guys are often up too. Such clever work and reporting! Keep up the great works guys I’ve added you guys to my blogroll. That is a good article thanks for sharing that informative information.. I will take a look at your blog frequently for a number of latest post.
I thought it was going to be several boring old post, but it really compensated for my time. I can post a link to that page on my blog. I am sure my visitors definitely will find that very practical.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Thanks for your recommendations on this blog. One particular thing I would wish to say is that often purchasing electronic products items from the Internet is certainly not new. In fact, in the past ten years alone, the market for online electronics has grown substantially. Today, you’ll find practically almost any electronic system and product on the Internet, which include cameras and also camcorders to computer components and games consoles.
I got what you mean , saved to bookmarks , very nice site.
Thanks for the writeup. I definitely agree with what you are saying. I have been talking about this subject a lot lately with my brother so hopefully this will get him to see my point of view. Fingers crossed!
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
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.
Wonderful work! This is the type of info that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher! Come on over and visit my website . Thanks =)
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Hello, i think that i saw you visited my weblog so i came to “return the favor”.I am attempting to find things to improve my website!I suppose its ok to use some of your ideas!!

My family and I are really thankful for your generosity and for providing me potential to pursue my own chosen career path. Appreciate your sharing the important information I acquired from your blog.
Penitent, but I will not write the identical as the others, but your blogpost has supplyed me a lot. Impart you.
