آن که روزنامه توقیف می کند همان است که دستور تجاوز داده
شهادت جراح معروف
و دستیارش از تجاوز به زندانی
این گزارش را با هدف انتشار، به آدرس پیک نت ارسال داشته اند

http://www.peiknet.com/1388/08mor/27/PAGE/34GOZARESH.htm


دکتر فاضلی که از جراحان بنام است دیروز صبح به من گفت: دوست دارم امروز تو دستیارم باشی. با کمال میل قبول کردم چون همیشه جراحی های خیلی سخت عروقی نورونی را انجام می داد و کلی نکته جدید در هربار دستیاری یاد می گرفتم اما این بار یک عمل ساده بود. یک کیست مقعدی.

دکتر فاضلی احتمالا حوصله نداشت خودش عمل کند مرا به ظاهر دستیار کرده بود. من به آرامی کیست را جدا کردم اما زمانی که خارجش کردم متوجه شدم کیست نیست و یک توده ی عفونی است و برای "پاتو" آنرا بسته بندی کردم. دکتر بعد از عمل از من خواهش کرد که شخصا به آزمایشگاه بروم و جواب را بگیرم و به دکتر روحانی بگویم که نهایت دقت را بکنند چرا که این بیمار از بستگان دکتر هستند. حالا فهمیدم چرا دکتر عمل به این سادگی را قبول کرده. بی علاقه به آزمایشگاه رفتم و ظرف را تحویل دادم و 40دقیقه ایی با دکتر روحانی گرم صحبت شده بودم که جواب آمد Chlamydia یک بیماری عفونی آمیزشی اما با این سطح خیلی عجیب بود. سطح درگیری آنقدر زیاد بود که دکتر به جای درمان دارویی از جراحی استفاده کرده بود. به اتاق دکتر رسیدم و گفتم Chlamydiaاست. دکتر بدون توجه به من گفت: علی می دانی چرا امروز از تو خواستم که دستیار من باشی؟ بی مهابا گفتم چون در شان شما نبود. دکتر لبخندی زد و گفت نه مثل همیشه اشتباه کردی- این بیمار از بستگان ماست که تازه از زندان آزاد شده. می دانی این عفونت از چه راهی انتقال پیدا می کند؟

برق از سرم پرید. اولین موردی بود که می دیدم و خودم عملش می کردم. گفت می خواهم با باقری لنکرانی تماس بگیرم و همه چیز را بگویم. گفت حالا برو ببین وضعش چه طور است. مات و مبهوت مانده بودم. گفتم دکتر با چه کسی آمده است؟ خانواده اش خبر دارند؟ گفت علی جان آرام باش هیچکس خبر از این موضوع تجاوز جز من و تو ندارد حتی خانواده اش .

گفتم یعنی نگفته است؟ بیچاره حتما خجالت کشیده. گفت نمی دانم می خواهی هنگام ویزیت دکتر جعفری تو هم حضور داشته باش(دکتر فاضلی همیشه بعد از عمل بیمارانش را برای معاینه روانپزشکی به دکتر جعفری می سپارد)

ساعت 6 دکتر جعفری آمد و به اتفاق به اتاق بیمار رفتیم. چند سوال کرد که او هم یک سری جواب شکسته بسته داد و دکتر از من خواست که ایشان را تنها بگذارم. نیم ساعتی بیرون ماندم و بیرون آمد. گفت هیچ چیز یادش نمی آید. می دانی یعنی چه دکتر؟ گفتم عوارض بیهوشی. گفت نه احتمالا * rohypnol گفتم دکتر مگر می شود؟ آنقدر حالم بد شد که دکتر جعفری مرا به پاویون رساند و پرستار برایم آب قندی آورد. گفتم دکتر چرا در حکومت اسلامی که این کار از مذموم ترین کارهاست همچین اتفاقی می افتد؟ گفت ببین این عمل چند هدف را دنبال می کند

1- ایجاد ترس وارعاب در جامعه

2- ایجاد خشونت و ترویج آن در جامعه:تصور کن در زندان با دست های بسته به شما تجاوز کنند و هیچ کاری نتوانی انجام دهی. اکثر قریب به اتفاق افراد حاضرند بمیرند و این عمل با آنها انجام نشود. پس در همین مرحله یا دست از جان می شویی و دیگر هیچ چیز برایت اهمیت ندارد جز انتقام یا اینکه دیگر هیچوقت جرات و جسارتی برایت باقی نمی ماند که هر دو از عوامل خشونت هستند و از طرف دیگر تاثیری که روی اطرافیانت می گذارد. تصور کن بچه تو را کسی بکشد. ممکن است از قصاص او بگذری اما اگر بفهمی کسی به فرزندت تجاوز کرده تحت هیچ شرایطی حاضر نمی شوی شخص را ببخشی. حتی به قیمت مرگ. یادت باشد که خشونت عامل نابودی جنبش های مدنی صلح آمیز است. سردمداران حکومت هر کاری می کنند تا بتوانند احساسات جامعه را جریحه دار کنند و پس از آن مردم دست به حرکات خشونت آمیز بزنند تا مجوزی بگیرند برای بستن مردم به گلوله.
اما اتفاق جدی تری که برای شخصی که به او تجاوز شده است می افتد اینست از او یک فرد افسرده و منفعل می سازد. تجاوز شکستن و خرد کردن افرادی است که باشکنجه های معمول خرد نمی شوند. معمولا این افراد انسانهایی هستند که از لحاظ روحی بسیار قوی هستند و معمولا اگر این افراد تحت درمان دارویی قرار نگیرند خودکشی می کنند چرا که دایم در این فکر هستند که از حرمت شرف خودشان نتوانسته اند دفاع کنند و از طرفی با منفعل شدن آنها نظام را تهدید نمی کنند و تازه ثابت کردن این موضوع از همه چیز سخت تر است چرا که هم تشخیص تجاوز جنسی به عهده پزشک قانونی است که در انحصار دولت است وهم به دلیل گذشت زمان به علت نبود علامت مثبت تقریباً غیرممکن است. و جالبتراینکه بیشترافراد مایل به معاینه پزشکی، بازجویی پلیس و رسیدگی دادگاه نیستند. و از طرف دیگرامران فقط بر اساس شهادت گواهان محکوم نمی‌شوند و باید مدارک تأیید کننده از دیگران کسب شود. مدارک مربوط به اثبات دخول، هویت تجاوز کننده و... .به دکتر فاضلی زنگ زدم و شرح ما وقع را گفتم و گفتم که می خواهم این موضوع را منتشر کنم. گفت فعلا دست نگه دارم تا نه سر خود را به باد دهم نه سر بیمارم را .

امروز با دکتر فاضلی قرار دارم. می خوام پیشنهاد بدهم یک نامه بنویسیم راجع به این موضوع به رئیس مجلسی که می گوید تجاوز جنسی اتفاق نیافتاده و امضای تمام پزشک هایی که می شود را بعد از معاینه بگیرم.

بعد از تجاوز قرص هائی به زندانی میدهند. اگر از این قرص به این بازداشتی ها داده باشند آنوقت ثابت کردن تجاوز خیلی سخت است. چون نهایتا تا 72 ساعت در ادرار قابل شناسائی است.

حالا حداقل یک مورد در دست خودمان است.

ضمنا اگر آشنایی دارید که تازه از زندان آزاد شده حتما پست بعدی رو بخوانید و اگر حتی گفت بهش تجاوز نشده حتما کارهایی که گفتم را انجام بدهید، چون اگر بهش روهیپنول داده باشند هیچی یادش نمی یاد.

*rohypnol:روهیپنول یا روفیز دارویی است از خانواده داروهای خواب آور و از طبقه ی پام ها با قدرتی بسیار بالاتر که به دلیل تاثیرات بسیار قوی و طولانی که این دارو در خاموش سازی مرکز سیستم عصبی اعمال می کند به "داروی تجاوز " معروف است. عوارض این دارو استفراغ ، توهم، دشواری در تنفس، کما و فراموشی کامل، اختلال در تکلم و یا حتی مرگ است.

Story of Mehdi,18Y Iranian man raped by Islamic Republic thugs

Story of Mehdi

A young Iranian man raped by Islamic Republic thugs

On August 21st, Mehdi tried to commit suicide by cutting his wrist. He lost a lot of blood. Mehdi was suffering from sever depression after his horrific abuse by Islamic Republic’s jails.

He was taken to and saved in the hospital in the last minute. He is recovering at home.

MEHDI JAAN:YOU ARE OUR HERO. WE NEED YOU TOMORROW IN A FREE IRAN.
here the translation text :

Reporter: I am glad you are ok so we can talk to you.

Daad: Thank you and greetings to all.

Yes, I am in Iran though hiding from agents of the self-claimed representative of Imam Mahdi,

who can not stand the slightest voice of opposition.

From the day after the coup, June 13th, I’ve been moving around with my family from once city to next,

but continuing to write on behalf of people whose votes were stolen.

At the time I left my home, I did not know I end up revealing horrific crimes with dimensions getting larger by each second.

The last of which, revealing cases of terrible sexual abuses taken place in prisons of Islamic Republic.

I will talk about these in a minute.

Reporter: Let’s go right into that subject.

Part of the current political crisis in Iran have to do with that very subject.

Verbal attacks against Karoubi in Friday’s prayer stems from this very subject.

Karoubi’s letter to Rafsanjani describing the killings and rapes in jails that started this controversy.

What are the cases that you know about?

Daad:You see, until you see something with your own eyes, you would not know the extend of its horror.

For example, you really feel the reality of blood, only when you see someone getting hurt in a bad car accident.

When you only hear about a rape case, it’s bad news.

But for me who has seen one case of it with my own eyes with an 18-year old boy whose father described as a piece of meat, lifeless, and depressed

The boy’s name is Mehdi, I have information about him on my weblog

I hope people who have done this to him will be tried in an International Court, but of course their superiors, people who ordered these crimes to be tried as well.

Those who are responsible and ordered these crimes

Those who want to root out the passion for life, happiness, freedom, and justice from the young people of Iran.

15 days ago, Mr. Karoubi in an act of courage, confidentially wrote about these real events to Mr. Rafsanjani.

He waited for 10 days for Rafsanjani to respond. After not hearing back, he decided to go public with this letter.

Both men are quite aware of what has been happening in regards to these crimes.

Two days after publishing Karoubi’s letter, Mr. Larijani, the head of Majlis, reacted in a calm manner,

and said there should have been more extensive research done on this issue by Mr. Karoubi.

Mr. Larijani claimed that his own investigation into these allegations show no cases of rape have taken place.

Interestingly, they don’t know the number of people arrested, number and location of the jails.

Or horrible interrogation places that even the head of the judiciary system, Mr. Shahroudi, does not know about.

Mr. Shahroudi, himself, has said that he is not aware of rape cases occurring in jails under his control.

He has indirectly implied that these cases might have happened in jails under the control of Revolutionary Guard.

But we know that these are not just few cases.

Due to fear (of the government) or feeling shameful, many victims and their families are not coming forward.

But kids subjected to this kind of cruelty are proud martyrs of freedom for Iran.

This calamity is of the same caliber of loosing one’s life for the cause of this great Freedom Movement.

I want to talk about a few cases that happened in the Kahrizak Camp under the watch of Revolutionary Guard.

The chose our happy and strong willed kids for freedom and raped them repeatedly to steal their will for perusing freedom.

By breaking them, get them to a state, where they hate themselves and with severe depression, to stop their struggle for democracy and what is rightfully theirs.

The secret code word for the rape campaign was ‘fathol mobin’ (the conquest of Mohammad).

You see how far they play with people’s faith and how they use religion as an oppressing tool to hold on to their illegitimate power.

There are painful points in this story that if I had not witnessed personally I would not believe it myself.

This young 18-year old boy, just for attending the silent rally on June 15th and just for having a green bracelet, is arrested.

After being repeatedly raped for 2 weeks in Kahrizak Camp, he is transferred and kept for one week in another prison for a slight recovery..

He is then given to his father, suffered from a severe rupture

Please forgive my explicit language but there is no room for denial and secrecy any more,

The suffering from rectum and colon rupture in him was so severe that they themselves could not keep him any longer.

This kid witnessed raping of other kids his age in Kahrizak,

He witnessed the voice of a chief law enforcement officer, that if necessary we can easily identify, who ordered his inferiors:

TAKE THESE KIDS AND GET THEM PREGNANT so they learn a lesson..

We are talking about male prisoners here.

Tens of prisoners have testified that some Arabs with a Lebanese accent were among the rapists.

Unfortunately, let me describe a scene for you so families by hearing it get determined not more fearful

At first Mehdi could not believe that a bad mouth and strong basij is getting ready to rape him

When he is forcefully undressed, he begs: for Imam Mehdi’s sake don’t do that to me.

Look my name is also Mehdi

The basij curses Imam Mehdi and by force he hands the shaking and horrified 18-year old Mehdi to another basij and says:

This guy has come to get his vote back.

Give him back his vote so he would not forget.

In two weeks, he was raped more than 20 times.

The rectum and colon rupture does not heal after stitching. He ends up with severe infection in the rectum and colon areas.

After a few days in this unknown location, they give his almost lifeless body to his father.

With the condition that his son was handed to him healthy with written confirmation that Mehdi, while in captivity, was treated nicely.

That he will never testify against them.

Now these gentlemen are asking for proof ?

You claimed the victory in election with obvious cheating

You rejected all objections to the election result as big lies

Why do you expect people who have been so hurt physically and emotionally to come forward and testify in your presence?

People have no trust in you

In confirming of what Mr.Hesami and Mr. Dai said Islamic Republic not to be trusted

I have to say that Mr. Karoubi is in difficult situation of getting these families to come forward and testify

But I personally have documents of this and other cases.

Saluting the Committee with a Cause
Friday, 28 August 2009

August 29, 2009 marks the 5th anniversary of the formation of The International Committee to Save the Archeological Sites of Pasargad. The Institute is to be saluted for its outstanding tireless work to safeguard the irreplaceable historical heritage of Iran against the machinations of the Islamists presently ruling the country whose aim is to wipe out any and all pre-Islamic Iranian heritage and artifacts.

Driven by both the Islamic zeal as well as profit motive, the clerical regime poses an existential threat to the precious sites and relics of ancient Iran. It is against this terrible force that the Institute has served as the rallying point for many concerned citizens and organizations to protect the Iran’s archaeological sites and its treasures.

Kaaveh_Aahangar wrote:


Why Protesting Against Ahmadinejad in New York Is Not a Waste of Time

by Kaaveh_Aahangar
08-Sep-2009


Let's confess: Travelling hundreds, and for some of us, thousands of miles, either by plane, train or bus to protest against Ahamdinejad’s U.N. visit is not fun. Add to that the expense, time and all the preparations one has to invest to be there for a day or more, and then one wonders whether the gain, whatever that is, is worth it all.

Carrying a picket sign, standing around or marching for hours in public, screaming your lungs out, all does not seem like a particularly adult or even natural thing to do. When people do this sort of thing, within or outside the context of a protest event, it is usually a cry for help. But why do we protest?

1. Protest events bring about visibility of the cause.

We live in a 5-second news-bite era where the news media never cover any issue, local or international in depth. Our policymakers, even with years of education and experience, still depend on and are influenced by such news sources when they develop policy. Policy debates can be abstract, and even seem irrelevant to the people who are not most directly affected by them. Protest events put warm bodies and heavy feet out there representing an issue, taking up real space and real time, attaching the cause to real faces and real voices who care enough about the cause to go out there, if only for a short time, and be ambassadors for it.

The media notices when and where a protest is held. Bystanders and passers-by notice when a protest event happens. Politicians notice when there is a protest. And if the protest is staged well, it will invariably make somebody look at the cause with new attitude. Protest events are not persuasive in and of themselves, but they invite persuasion. They invite change. They invite a second look at the issues and the cause. Protests make the public, the politicians, and policymakers aware that people care strongly about that particular cause.

In our case, the world’s public, the ambassadors of all the nations attending the UN General Assembly Annual Meeting, who notice our protest against Ahmadinejad, will realize:

a)Iranians are socially-advanced enough to understand what the requirements of a civil society with its mandate for social responsibility and participatory democracy are, and so they act on those principles.

b)Iranians politically and socially belong to 21st century, to the modern world, and thus they reject anachronistic, medieval, Machiavellian methods of governance as exercised by Ahmadinejad and his clique.

c)Ahmadinejad and his government do not represent the people of Iran and thus his government does not enjoy legitimacy; so the governments represented at United Nations who work, cooperate and collaborate with Ahmadinejad government are in fact, and indeed, engaging with an illegitimate government in Iran. As a sub-clause of that, Iranian people will mark and remember which world governments choose to accept, cooperate, collaborate, and thus support Ahmadinejad’s government in spite of Iranian’s people’s will, as they will also mark and remember the world governments who stand by Iranian people during these critical days and following months and years.

2. Protest events demonstrate power.

The date was May 1st, 2006. The U.S. House of Representatives had just passed H.R. 4437 (House Resolution 4437), a bill that essentially called for the deportation of 12 million undocumented immigrants and the imprisonment of anyone who might help them. A massive group of activists, predominantly but not exclusively Latino, planned a series of rallies in response.

More than 500,000 people marched in Los Angeles, 300,000 in Chicago, and millions more throughout United States.

The death of H.R. 4437 in committee was pretty much a given at that point. When large numbers of people take to the streets in protest, politicians and other key decision-makers notice. They don't always act, but they notice. The H.R. 4437 never became the law. Similarly, our protests outside U.N. give support and cause to any future UN General Assembly or Security Council censoring of Ahmadinejad’s government as our presence and protest validate the illegitimacy of his government.

In case of our cause, our stance and protest, gives the ambassadors of nations attending the UN General Assembly meeting apprehensions and reservation when it comes in cooperating and collaborating with the illegitimate government of Ahmadinejad. May be not now, not today, but in coming months and years, when a slight disappointment occurs with Ahmadinejad’s government, these other world governments will recall our protest and that gives them the encouragement and motive to act firmly in denying Ahmadinejad’s government even what is routinely granted in diplomatic relations.

Consider this, even when Hitler came to power in 1933, he was congratulated by nearly all European countries, and United States. Ahmadinejad is the first in the history of international diplomacy to have been denied the customary diplomatic act of receiving congratulations, upon assuming presidential office, from such a large number of world’s major governments: the entire European Union, United States, Australia, and even Greenland. Such congratulatory notes are part of diplomatic protocol practiced by every single one of world’s government. It is so routine that, for example, when Khatami was elected as President, Israel sent a congratulatory note, and when Moshe Katsav was elected Israel’s president, Iran sent a congratulatory note.

This and many other such successes in isolating the Ahmadinejad’s government are owed to protests held both within and outside Iran denouncing that illegitimate government.

3. Protest events promote a sense of solidarity.

You may not still feel like part of a movement although you agree with it. It is one thing to wish for democracy, rule of law and civil society in Iran in the comfort of your own home yet another thing completely to pick up a picket sign and support it in public, and let the issue define you for the duration of a protest, in standing together with others and representing a movement. Protests make the cause feel more real, substantive, tangible and legitimate to participants.

4. Protest events build activist relationships.

Solitary activism is ineffective, arduous, and tedious. Protest events give us a chance to meet, network, swap ideas, and build community. Most civic organizations, in fact, get their start with protest events that unite and connect like-minded individuals and groups.

When you attend the protest against Ahmadinejad in New York, make effort to meet and connect with other protesters and organizations from other cities and towns across United States and Canada, swap contact information, ideas, and plans with them. Make every effort to create a strong network for continued activism and action.

5. Protest events energize participants.

Ask anyone who attended the American Civil Rights March on Washington in August 1963, and to this day he/she is able to tell you exactly what it felt like. Good protest events have a mystical effect on people, charging their energies and inspiring them to continue their struggle and defend their cause another day. This creates new committed activists, and gives veteran activists and the cause a moral boost.

Our protest against Ahmadinejad before the United Nations emboldens the spirit of pro-democracy dissidents and protesters in Iran as they get the affirmation that they are not alone, that they are not forgotten, that their voices have found echo in another corner of the world.

6. Protest events defeat the attempts and hopes of those in power to act in obscurity and with expectations of impunity.

Surely, the leaders and top cadre of Iran’s ruling clique will take note of the size and vociferous of our protests before the United Nations. This surely affects their political calculations on maintaining and upholding Ahmadinejad government, focused on whether it would be worth all the negative publicity they receive abroad and its effect both on world governments, populations, as well as Iranians in Iran. It will surely worry the ruling elite of Iran that this continued protests might become more widespread and would certainly give hope and energy to opposition within Iran. Such open and wide protests would force Iran’s ruling clique to move more carefully with further crackdowns, wide-ranging arrests, forcefully-extracted confession and torture of political detainees, as well as treatment of its opposition. This because the ruling clique in Iran would hesitate when it realizes that its heavy medieval crackdown on dissidents and protesters has flared up ever-increasing vocal protests abroad where the regime’s suppressive measures cannot reach. It leaves the Iran’s ruling clique one choice and only one choice: retreat.

U.S. May Face 9/11-Scale Threat from Venezuela
Sunday, September 13, 2009 6:42 PM

By: Kenneth R. Timmerman


The government of Andorra (a small country between France & Spain) has frozen �billions of dollars� in bank accounts linked to Iran, Venezuela, and a variety of terrorist groups, according to the daily Diairi d�Andorra, which publishes in Catalan.

The Andorran move, announced on Thursday, was carried out in conjunction with a top secret U.S. Treasury investigation in Miami involving money laundered through Venezuelan banks that was transferred to corresponding banks in the United States.

From Miami, the funds were then wired to accounts in Andorra that were controlled by Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez, members of his family and his regime. But the funds were also used by terrorist groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Qaida, and the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC), according to Diairi d�Andorra, which quoted unnamed Andorran government officials.

Treasury�s move into the tiny principality nestled in the eastern Pyrenees between Spain and France is just the latest move in an international effort to crack down on Iranian money-laundering, with the goal of shutting Iran out of international financial markets.

Treasury has focused increasingly on Iran�s deepening ties to Venezuela, where strongman Hugo Chavez has openly embraced Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Those ties came to international prominence earlier this week, when Chavez pledged during his eight official visits to Tehran to deliver 20,000 barrels a day of gasoline to Iran, a move aimed at helping Iran to deflect efforts by the=2 0U.S. Congress to stop gasoline sales to Iran.

On October 22, the U.S. Department of Treasury�s Office of Foreign Assets Controls imposed sanctions on the Export Development Bank of Iran (EDBI) and its newly-created Venezuelan subsidiary, Banco Internacional de Desarrollo C.A. (BID).

Treasury cited the two banks for �providing or attempting to provide financial services to Iran�s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics.� OFAC also alleged that EDBI �has facilitated the ongoing procurement activities of various front companies� associated with clandestine Iranian weapons purchases.

�The ostensible reason the Iranian-owned bank Banco Internacional de Desarrollo (BID) was opened in Caracas was to expand economic ties with Venezuela,� Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau told an audience at the left-leaning Brookings Institution on Sept. 8.

�Our sources and experiences lead me to suspect an ulterior motive. A foothold into the Venezuelan banking system is a perfect �sanctions-busting� method - the main motivator for Iran in its banking relationship with Venezuela,� he added.

The 90-year old Morgenthau, who will retire in December, is a legendary figure in New York who has prosecuted everything from securities fraud to the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI).

Morgenthau has unveiled a series of Iran-related prosecutions in recent months, including a massive case against Lloyds TSB bank, which agreed to pay the United States more than $300 million in fines for illegally processing wire transfers on behalf of Iranian banks and their customers.

In a separate case, he indicted a company called Limmt and its manager, Li Fang Wei, who used aliases and shell companies to purchased banned missile, nuclear, and dual use materials for Iranian military entities.

Morgenthau predicted this week that Iran and Venezuela, �two of the world�s most dangerous regimes� will be acting together in our backyard on the development of nuclear and missile technology.�

He said it reminded him of the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, �when a leftist populist leader with a strong anti-American streak joined forces with the Soviet Union to bring nuclear weapons in close proximity to our borders.�
�Although the same threat level does not yet exist in Venezuela, the United States needs to be focused on Iran�s expansionism wherever it occurs,� he added.
Morgenthau said he suspected the BID o f using correspondent banking relationships with Venezuelan banks and banks in Panama in a scheme known as �nesting.� Nesting is a means for a banned foreign financial institution to gain access to the U.S. financial system by operating through a U.S. correspondent account belonging to another foreign financial institution, Morgenthau explained.

For example, while BID is prohibited from establishing a relationship with a U.S. bank, it could open an account with a Venezuelan or Panamanian bank that has such a relationship and �effectively gain anonymous access to the U.S. financial system� through them.

Morgenthau said that he expected Treasury to act against other Venezuelan banks within the next thirty days, but declined to name any suspect entities.

But Newsmax has learned from independent researchers who specialize in investigating financial crime in Latin America, that the Iranian regime is using several other banks in Venezuela to clear financial transactions.

These include Banco Occidental de Desevento (BANESCO), which has banking ties to Bank Saderat in Iran (also sanctioned by OFAC), the Banco Caroni, and the Banco Guyana.
BANESCO owns a correspondent bank in the United States.

But the money ties between Iran and Venezuela are just the beginning of a deep relationship that has some U.S. lawmakers worried.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R, FL, the ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Newsmax that Iran has found �a receptive audience in Chavez who has been positioning Venezuela as a satellite of the Iranian regime.�

The two have been working �hand-in-hand� on everything from joint banking schemes, to oil and gas ventures, to military and security agreements, to technological partnerships,� she said.

This Iran-Chavez-Castro axis, which is expanding to Ecuador, Nicaragua, and other enemies of freedom in the region, helps the Iranian regime project its deadly agenda in the Hemisphere,� she said. �It brings the threat closer to the U.S. and directly undermines critical U.S. security interests."

Latin America experts for the Menges� Americas Report at the Center for Security Policy in Washington, DC tell Newsmax that Iran has built a vast network of commercial, financial, industrial, and military ties with Venezeula in recent years.

These include massive Iranian government investments in Venezuela targeting new uranium mines, manufacturing facilities, and food processing plants. Iran has also opened up direct air and sea links to Venezuela.

The commercial ties appear innocent on the surface. Iran has built factories to assemble tractors and bicycles in Venezuela, and regularly ships large amounts of spare parts to them.
But those shipments can disguise more sinister objectives.

In December 2008, Turkish Customs inspectors seized 22 shipping containers bound for Venezuela on board=2 0an Iranian cargo ship at the port of Mersin.
The contents were labeled as �tractor parts.� But when the Turks opened them up, they components for bombs, lab equipment, and chemical weapons components.


The tractor plant, Veneiran, is operated by the Venezuelan Military Industries. Several of its buildings are closed to the public and heavily guarded by Iranian security personnel, the Menges� Americas Report experts said.
Iran air flies Boeing 747s weekly to Caracas via Damascus. Although the flights are nearly empty, it is virtually impossible to book a seat, because the flights are reserved for military cargo and to transport military and intelligence officials who are whisked away into a VIP lounge without ever clearing Customs, sources tell Newsmax.

The Venezuelan military has tossed out the U.S. Army Field Manual they used for training and has now turned to Iranian Revolutionary Guards troops to train Venezuelan forces in asymmetrical warfare similar to those used by Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Menges� America�s Report experts said.
Also of concern to U.S. officials is an April 2008 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) involving military and nuclear cooperation between the two countries.
Chavez alluded to the nuclear deal while in Tehran last week, saying that with Iran�s help he planned to build a �nuclear village� in Venezuela.

According to the Canadian-based U308 Corporation, 70% of the gigantic Roraima Basin - the second largest uranium reserve in the world � is located in Venezuela. Initial estimates show reserves of 5.8=2 0million pounds of uranium ore just in the company�s leasehold area, according to the company�s website.
Iran is operating a gold mine at the very center of the uranium-mining basin that intelligence analysts believe could be used as a base for clandestine uranium exports to Iran.

Iranians Say Prison Rape Is Not New
By Robert Mackey

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrJavi6HHI0&feature=player_embedded

Video posted online last Friday, which Iranian bloggers say shows a demonstration by the families of political prisoners outside Tehran’s Evin prison on the first day or Ramadan.

On Friday, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad floated a bizarre conspiracy theory: that any rape or torture of political prisoners in Iranian detention centers in recent months had been carried out by “enemy” agents, not the government. According to Reuters, Mr. Ahmadinejad said in remarks at Tehran University that were broadcast live on state radio: “In some detention centers inappropriate measures have taken place for which the enemy was again responsible.”

The Islamic Republic Compassion
September 19, 2009


It is not true that the Islamic Republic of Iran lacks compassion. It is not true that the Islamic Republic hangs people without a hint of mercy. Here is the proof.

Recently, I met Mrs. M at a gathering of Iranian ex-pats in a park. I would also like you to meet this elderly widow who is suffering from a variety of brain, neurological, and vision disorders. She is a lone woman without a country, moving from one shelter to the next on her way to the final resting place to which we all are destined.

One dreadful day, Mrs. M and her husband were arrested by the IRI agents in the city of Qazvin for being active members of the Baha’i Faith. The litany of charges included being members of the ferghe zalleh (misguided sect), mohareb (fighters against God), propagandists for their sect, and agents of the Great Satan and Israel. The couple’s three young children were spared imprisonment and ended up as wards of other Baha’i families in the town.

Here Come the Despots
From Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Libya's Muammar al-Qaddafi, the U.N. is playing host to the world's most tyrannical leaders during next week's U.N. General Assembly in New York.

Shame on the UN!

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Rape, torture, murder and calls for the destruction of Israel -- these are all in a day's work for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Iran's mullahs. Ahmadinejad, in light of a new report that claims his country can now build a nuclear bomb, says he won't rule out making one. That doesn't exactly sit well with the world community, considering how the country's rulers handled Ahmadinejad's July 2009 re-election. Protesters, claiming a rigged election, were crushed in violent protests that left dozens dead.

Ahmadinejad will speak on Sept. 23, his fifth visit to the U.N. General Assembly. Many will be waiting to see if he'll channel the12th Imam again, as he did in 2007. But during this trip he'll certainly be addressing his suspect nuclear program -- especially in a scheduled meeting on Oct. 1 with members of the U.N. Security Council -- which includes the U.S..

Why Protesting Against Ahmadinejad in New York Is Not a Waste of Time

by Kaaveh_Aahangar
08-Sep-2009


Let's confess: Travelling hundreds, and for some of us, thousands of miles, either by plane, train or bus to protest against Ahamdinejad’s U.N. visit is not fun. Add to that the expense, time and all the preparations one has to invest to be there for a day or more, and then one wonders whether the gain, whatever that is, is worth it all.

Carrying a picket sign, standing around or marching for hours in public, screaming your lungs out, all does not seem like a particularly adult or even natural thing to do. When people do this sort of thing, within or outside the context of a protest event, it is usually a cry for help. But why do we protest?

1. Protest events bring about visibility of the cause.

We live in a 5-second news-bite era where the news media never cover any issue, local or international in depth. Our policymakers, even with years of education and experience, still depend on and are influenced by such news sources when they develop policy. Policy debates can be abstract, and even seem irrelevant to the people who are not most directly affected by them. Protest events put warm bodies and heavy feet out there representing an issue, taking up real space and real time, attaching the cause to real faces and real voices who care enough about the cause to go out there, if only for a short time, and be ambassadors for it.

The media notices when and where a protest is held. Bystanders and passers-by notice when a protest event happens. Politicians notice when there is a protest. And if the protest is staged well, it will invariably make somebody look at the cause with new attitude. Protest events are not persuasive in and of themselves, but they invite persuasion. They invite change. They invite a second look at the issues and the cause. Protests make the public, the politicians, and policymakers aware that people care strongly about that particular cause.

In our case, the world’s public, the ambassadors of all the nations attending the UN General Assembly Annual Meeting, who notice our protest against Ahmadinejad, will realize:

a)Iranians are socially-advanced enough to understand what the requirements of a civil society with its mandate for social responsibility and participatory democracy are, and so they act on those principles.

b)Iranians politically and socially belong to 21st century, to the modern world, and thus they reject anachronistic, medieval, Machiavellian methods of governance as exercised by Ahmadinejad and his clique.

c)Ahmadinejad and his government do not represent the people of Iran and thus his government does not enjoy legitimacy; so the governments represented at United Nations who work, cooperate and collaborate with Ahmadinejad government are in fact, and indeed, engaging with an illegitimate government in Iran. As a sub-clause of that, Iranian people will mark and remember which world governments choose to accept, cooperate, collaborate, and thus support Ahmadinejad’s government in spite of Iranian’s people’s will, as they will also mark and remember the world governments who stand by Iranian people during these critical days and following months and years.

2. Protest events demonstrate power.

The date was May 1st, 2006. The U.S. House of Representatives had just passed H.R. 4437 (House Resolution 4437), a bill that essentially called for the deportation of 12 million undocumented immigrants and the imprisonment of anyone who might help them. A massive group of activists, predominantly but not exclusively Latino, planned a series of rallies in response.

More than 500,000 people marched in Los Angeles, 300,000 in Chicago, and millions more throughout United States.

The death of H.R. 4437 in committee was pretty much a given at that point. When large numbers of people take to the streets in protest, politicians and other key decision-makers notice. They don't always act, but they notice. The H.R. 4437 never became the law. Similarly, our protests outside U.N. give support and cause to any future UN General Assembly or Security Council censoring of Ahmadinejad’s government as our presence and protest validate the illegitimacy of his government.

In case of our cause, our stance and protest, gives the ambassadors of nations attending the UN General Assembly meeting apprehensions and reservation when it comes in cooperating and collaborating with the illegitimate government of Ahmadinejad. May be not now, not today, but in coming months and years, when a slight disappointment occurs with Ahmadinejad’s government, these other world governments will recall our protest and that gives them the encouragement and motive to act firmly in denying Ahmadinejad’s government even what is routinely granted in diplomatic relations.

Consider this, even when Hitler came to power in 1933, he was congratulated by nearly all European countries, and United States. Ahmadinejad is the first in the history of international diplomacy to have been denied the customary diplomatic act of receiving congratulations, upon assuming presidential office, from such a large number of world’s major governments: the entire European Union, United States, Australia, and even Greenland. Such congratulatory notes are part of diplomatic protocol practiced by every single one of world’s government. It is so routine that, for example, when Khatami was elected as President, Israel sent a congratulatory note, and when Moshe Katsav was elected Israel’s president, Iran sent a congratulatory note.

This and many other such successes in isolating the Ahmadinejad’s government are owed to protests held both within and outside Iran denouncing that illegitimate government.

3. Protest events promote a sense of solidarity.

You may not still feel like part of a movement although you agree with it. It is one thing to wish for democracy, rule of law and civil society in Iran in the comfort of your own home yet another thing completely to pick up a picket sign and support it in public, and let the issue define you for the duration of a protest, in standing together with others and representing a movement. Protests make the cause feel more real, substantive, tangible and legitimate to participants.

4. Protest events build activist relationships.

Solitary activism is ineffective, arduous, and tedious. Protest events give us a chance to meet, network, swap ideas, and build community. Most civic organizations, in fact, get their start with protest events that unite and connect like-minded individuals and groups.

When you attend the protest against Ahmadinejad in New York, make effort to meet and connect with other protesters and organizations from other cities and towns across United States and Canada, swap contact information, ideas, and plans with them. Make every effort to create a strong network for continued activism and action.

5. Protest events energize participants.

Ask anyone who attended the American Civil Rights March on Washington in August 1963, and to this day he/she is able to tell you exactly what it felt like. Good protest events have a mystical effect on people, charging their energies and inspiring them to continue their struggle and defend their cause another day. This creates new committed activists, and gives veteran activists and the cause a moral boost.

Our protest against Ahmadinejad before the United Nations emboldens the spirit of pro-democracy dissidents and protesters in Iran as they get the affirmation that they are not alone, that they are not forgotten, that their voices have found echo in another corner of the world.

6. Protest events defeat the attempts and hopes of those in power to act in obscurity and with expectations of impunity.

Surely, the leaders and top cadre of Iran’s ruling clique will take note of the size and vociferous of our protests before the United Nations. This surely affects their political calculations on maintaining and upholding Ahmadinejad government, focused on whether it would be worth all the negative publicity they receive abroad and its effect both on world governments, populations, as well as Iranians in Iran. It will surely worry the ruling elite of Iran that this continued protests might become more widespread and would certainly give hope and energy to opposition within Iran. Such open and wide protests would force Iran’s ruling clique to move more carefully with further crackdowns, wide-ranging arrests, forcefully-extracted confession and torture of political detainees, as well as treatment of its opposition. This because the ruling clique in Iran would hesitate when it realizes that its heavy medieval crackdown on dissidents and protesters has flared up ever-increasing vocal protests abroad where the regime’s suppressive measures cannot reach. It leaves the Iran’s ruling clique one choice and only one choice: retreat.

Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi: Sodomy and Rape OK for Protesters

http://hakemiat-e-mardom.blogspot.com/2009/08/ayatollah-mesbah-yazdi-sodomy-and-rape.html

On August 11, 2009, Ayatollah Mesbh-Yazdi and Mahmood Ahmadinejad had a gathering at Jamkaran. They answered questions posed by their supporters. The following questions and answers were exchanged between Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi and some of his supports regarding the recent charges of rape and torture committed on those arrested in the post-election unrest:

تعدادی از پاسخ های شرعی مصباح در زمینه تجاوز جنسی در زیر به برخی از
سوالها و جوابها اشاره میشود

*****************
Q: Is obtaining confession by applying psychological, emotional and physical pressure valid and considered credible according to Islam?
1- آیا اعتراف گیری تحت فشار و شکنجه روحی و روانی و جسمی اعتبار اسلامی دارد ؟

A: Getting confession from any person who is against the Velayet-e-faghih (supreme leader) is permissible under any condition
.ج - اعتراف گیری از ضد ولایت فقیه به هر شکلی جایز است


*****************
Q: Is obtaining confession by drugging the prisoner with addictive substances, opiates, and other drugs?
2 - اعتراف گیری با استفاده از مواد مخدر و افیون و داروهای کدوئینه جایز است ؟

A: Obtaining confession from any person who is against the Velayet-e-Faghih (supreme leader) is allowed under any condition
.ج - اعتراف گیری از ضد ولایت مطلقه به هر شکلی جایز است .


*****************
Q: Can interrogator rape the prisoner in order to obtain confession?
3 - آیا بازجو میتواند به زندانی تجاوز جنسی کند تا اعتراف بگیرد ؟

A: The necessary caution is for the interrogator to perform the ‘Vozoo’ (ablution: the act of cleansing mandated by Islam before praying) first and say prayers while raping the prisoner.If the prisoner is female, it is OK to rape through vagina or anus. It is better not to have a witness present. If it is a male prisoner, then it’s OK for someone else to watch while the rape is committed
.ج - احتیاط واجب آن است که قبل از اینکار حتما وضو بگیرد و هنگام عمل ذکر گوید .اگرزندانی زن است هم از فرج و هم از دوبر دخول اشکال ندارد بهتر است در محل بازجویی کس دیگری نباشد . اما اگر زندانی مرد است احوط است در حضور دیگر باز جویان دخول صورت گیرد

*****************
Q: What if the female prisoner gets pregnant? Is the child considered illegitimate?
4 - اگر زن زندانی حامله شود تکلیف چیست ؟ یا آن فرزند حرامزاده است ؟

A: The child borne to any woman [weakling] who is against the supreme leader is considered illegitimate be it a result of rape by her interrogator or thorough intercourse by husband, according to the written word in the Quarn. However, if the child is raised by the jailer, then the child is considered a legitimate Shii’a Muslim
.ج - فرزند ضعیفه ضد ولایت مطلقه فقیه مطابق نص قران مجید در هر صورت حرامزاده است چه توسط بازجو باردار شود چه توسط شوهرش . اما اگر بازجو فرزندی طفل متولد شده را گردن نهد ، بنابر احتیاط واجب طفل حلالزاده و شیعه اثنی عشری است .

*****************
Q: Is raping of men and young boys considered sodomy?
5- آیا تجاوز جنسی در زندان به مردها و پسران جوان لواط محسوب نمی شود ؟

A: No, because it is not consensual. Of course, if the prisoner is aroused and enjoys the rape, then caution must be taken not to repeat the rape
.ج - خیر . چون زندانی بدون میل و رغبت به آن تن داده است . البته اگر جوان مفعول را خوشامده باشد احتیاط مستحب آن است که دیگر این عمل تکرار نگردد

*****************
Q: What is the judgment for raping a virgin female prisoner?

6 - تجاوز به دختران باکره در زندان چه حکمی دارد ؟

A: If the judgment for the prisoner is execution, then the rape before execution brings the interrogator a spiritual reward equivalent to making the Haaj pilgrimage [Mecca], but if there is no execution decreed, then the reward would be equivalent of making a pilgrimage to Karbala .به همان اندازه بر گناهان دختر افزوده میشود . اما اگر زندانی قرار نیست اعدام شود ، به اندازه زیارت کربلا برای بازجو صواب دارد

Governor David Paterson, Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, and Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani Rally Together With More Than Ten Thousand New Yorkers to Stand for Freedom in Iran



http://in.sys-con.com/node/1120897

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 09/24/09 -- More than ten thousand participants gathered together outside the United Nations Plaza to demand freedom for all Iranians. Such prominent New Yorkers as Governor David Paterson, Elie Wiesel, and Rudy Giuliani showed their solidarity with a range of other elected officials, religious leaders, and representatives of many ethnic communities to send a united message of hope.

More than 40 organizations have come together to create the Stand for Freedom in Iran Coalition, which demands freedom of assembly, expression, and the press; the immediate cessation of human-rights abuses and the release of demonstrators from prisons and protection for minority communities; prosecution of those responsible for the murder of Neda Agha-Soltan and many other victims; full compliance and cooperation by Iran with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Security Council resolutions, including an end to Iran's uranium enrichment; and an end to the incitement of genocide and the support of terrorism.

Speakers included New York State Governor David Paterson; former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani; New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli; New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr.; New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver; New York City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn; Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel; Canadian Member of Parliament Irwin Cotler; Stuart Appelbaum, president, Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union; J. David Cox, national secretary-treasurer, American Federation of Government Employees; The Very Reverend Dr. James A. Kowalski, dean, Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine; Iranian student activist and former prisoner Hassan Zarezadeh Ardeshir and Iranian political activists Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi, Shohreh Nazar, and Roya Teimouri; and former Sudanese refugee and human-rights activist Simon Deng.

"Ahmadinejad is the Number One Holocaust denier in the world," said Nobel Laureate Elie and called on world leaders to shun him. "He's unworthy of your attention, he's unworthy of being your colleague. He's in fact an enemy of humanity."

"Thank you all for coming here, for this great cause today," said New York State Governor David Paterson. "We will not stand for any more of President Ahmadinejad."

"I hope he lives to see the day when he and his kind are held in judgment by a free Iran," said New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, about Ahmadinejad.

"The regime stands against everything we value," said Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani about the toll of the repressive government under Ahmadinejad.

"We cannot remain silent when, in our city, there is a leader of a regime who arrests innocent civilians, imprisons students, brutalizes protesters, tortures dissidents, abuses women, executes children, sponsors terror groups, threatens to annihilate sovereign nations, and violates international resolutions while developing nuclear weaponry," said Janice W. Shorenstein, president of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York. "The Stand for Freedom in Iran Coalition reflects the broad sentiment among Americans of many faiths, ethnicities, and walks of life that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not welcome in New York."

"We support the right for all people from all nations to have the freedoms we have as Americans," said John M. Shapiro, president of UJA-Federation of New York.
