Ejlal Qavami |
Islamic Republic security forces arrested
Ejlal Qavamai, spokesman for Kurdistan Human Rights Organization yesterday.
Kordaneh website reports that his arrest appears to be connected with his
interview with the media regarding the general public strike yesterday in
Kurdish cities of Iran.
Yesterday a number of Kurdish cities closed down
all business and activity in protest to the sudden execution of five political
prisoners in Tehran.
Farzad Kamangar, Ali Heydarian, Farhad Vakili and Shirin Alam Holi are four
Iranian Kurds that were executed on Sunday along with Mehdi Eslamian in Iran.
Ejlal Qavami had also been arrested before and sentenced to imprisonment for his
human rights activities.
The Campaign for Human Rights in Iran reports
that the Family of Shirin Alam Holi is under pressure by Iranian security
forces.
The security officers have reportedly impeded mourners from entering the Alam
Holi home and forced mourning women out of their house.
The report adds that Alam Holi home is repeatedly raided and only Alam Holi's
mother and father are allowed to stay there.
Shirin Alam Holi's mother, sister, uncle, nephew and grandfather have all been
arrested and released on bail.
Iran's Kurdish regions on
strike in protest to executions
In other reports the family of the other executed
political prisoner, Farzad Kamangar, are being threatened with arrests as well.
Farzad Kamangar's attorney insists that the officials have no evidence to
justify his hanging and Kamangar was executed before he was allowed a last visit
with his attorney and kin, which is in violation of Iran's judicial laws.
