Request from Canadian MPs to Issue a Bill Condemning Human Rights Violations in Iran

Support Mr. Moris Capitorn's request from Canada MPs to issue a bill to condemn the violation of human rights in Iran, which has become worse. Dear Member of Parliament, Mr. Capitorn, who was a special reporter of U.N.H.C.R. for the last six years, attended a parliament committee on Feb. 03. He informed the members that the human rights violations in Iran were getting worse. He stated, 'there has not been a significant change to improve human rights in Iran and the human rights situation has become worse.' Mr. Capitorn requested that the Government prepare a bill regarding the case to introduce to the U.N. General Assembly. We, Iranian human rights activists, Canadian citizens, and residents of other countries support his idea and welcome parliament and government to pass a resolution to condemn systematic human rights abuses by Iran's regime. These are the latest violations for your information: 1. Arrest of five journalists: Mrs. Yasaman Sofi, Mr. Amir Ezati, Mr. Mohamad Abdi, Mr. Kambiz Kahe, Mr. Saeed Mostaazi. 2. Arrest of Mr. Mohammad Khalili, a writer. 3. Arrest of some members of the families of the political prisoners when they gathered in front of the hotel to meet the special U.N.H.C.R. Inspector. 4. Arrest of Mr. Ghasem Shole Sadi, an ex-member of parliament and political activist, who is on a hunger strike. 5. Execution of Mr. Mohamad Golabi, a political activist in Saghez, Kurdestan. 6. Hanging of Behroz Hamid and Ali Shomali in public. 7. Preventing Ayatollah Montazeri from going to Tehran for medical treatment. We strongly support his idea and request you, in accordance with the Human Rights Universal Declaration and in order to improve human rights conditions in Iran, to pass a resolution to condemn the systematic violation of human rights in Iran and ask the regime to follow the signed international protocols.
