Urmia, Iranian Kurdistan,-- The Free Life
party of Kurdistan (PJAK) condemn and protest the
torture and unjust
execution of
Mr. Hassan Hikmat Demir in the city of Khoy in
Kurdistan-Iran on December 20, 2007.
Mr. Demir was arrested a year ago by the Iranian
Islamic authorities for being a member of PJAK. He
was brutally tortured in the Khoy prison and became
very ill. He did not receive any appropriate medical
treatment and was executed despite of his illness.
In August 2007, three supporters of PJAK were
arrested, tortured and sentenced to death in Urmia
city. They were immediately executed after the
judgment.
Two Kurdish journalists M. Hassanpour and Mr. Hiwa
Boutimar from the weekly newspaper Asu (The Wave)
were sentenced to death on July 17, 2007, by an
Islamic court.
Hundreds of Kurdish innocent civilians,www.ekurd.net
students, human rights
activists and journalists of conscience are detained
in the Iranian prisons and tortured brutally without
mercy and due process in violation of all
international humanitarian declarations protecting
civilian people and ethnic minorities.
We condemn the Iranian Islamic governments waves of
barbaric executions, persecutions, torture and
oppression against human rights and political
activists, Iranian opposition and ethnic minorities
including Kurds, Balosh, Ahwazi and Azaris.
We call on the U.N. High Commissioner for Human
Rights, human rights organizations, NGOS and the
international community to put a stop to the Iranian
atrocities, violation of international laws and
killing of innocent civilians.
It is time for the international community to stop
the criminal acts of the Iranian regime and to help
the oppressed Kurds, Ethnic minorities and the
peoples of Iran to be free and live in peace.
