Web logs have become a popular forum for dissent. And the Iranian government has responded by arresting dozens of bloggers. Some of those detained are reportedly being held in solitary confinement and tortured. Bloggers Arash Sigarchi and Mojtaba Saminejad are both currently in prison in Iran. Mr Sigarchi has been in detention since 17 January while Mr Saminejad was first detained in November. Saminejad was kept in solitary confinement for 88 days, and he was subjected to severe beatings and torture Hadi Ghaemi, Human Rights Watch "Freedom of expression is really at stake at the moment," says Julien Pain, who runs the Internet Freedom Desk at the Paris based group Reporters without Borders. "The Iranian authorities have been clamping down on regular media for a long time, but it's only in the last six months that they're harshly attacking cyber-dissidents and webloggers. It's really a serious situation."

Iran's government cracking down on Internet freedom, RSF says ANKARA, 5 Aug 2004 (IRIN) - The media watchdog body Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has voiced concern at the growing efforts of the Iranian authorities to censor online freedom of expression, including the preparation of a draft law that would create a legal framework to crack down on Internet usage. RSF has also called for the release of Mojtaba Lotfi, a cyber-dissident theology student. © IRIN Young women, many of them without headscarves, at a downtown Internet cafe in Tehran "Since the elections [last February] the authorities have tried to tighten control over the Internet, because they realise the power it has for the opposition," Julien Pain, responsible for the RSF's Internet freedom desk, told IRIN from Paris on Thursday, noting that the Iranian government was blacklisting information and political websites. However, Pain stressed that, despite the government's crackdown, Iranian Internet users were willing to express themselves online, even if they risked imprisonment and torture, "because people really believe in politics in Iran".

87. Iran: Governement Executes Gay Teenagers The newly elected president of iran, the religious conservative and former of marriage and political opponents of the right wing Islamist government. http://www.socialistworld.net/eng/2005/07/29iran.html

socialistworld.net home 29 July 2005 Iran Governement executes gay teenagers However, the new regime carried out a brutal public execution of two gay teenagers on 19 July 2005 for the so called 'crime' of homosexuality. The official reason for the execution was that one of them raped a 13 year old but human rights campaigners believe this was a trumped up charge to try and undermine public sympathy for the teenagers. The lawyer of the youngest boy had appealed that he was too young to be executed and that the court should take into account his age (believed to be 16 or 17). This argument does not hold sway with the Supreme Court in Tehran who ordered the boy to be hanged and under the Iranian penal code girls as young as nine and boys as young as 15 can be hanged. These vicious executions are an attack on the civil and democratic rights of all working people in Iran. Iranian human rights campaigners report that over 4,000 lesbians and gay men have been executed since the Ayatollahs seized power in 1979. According to some commentators over 100,000 thousand Iranians have been killed during the last 26 years of clerical rule. An estimated one third were women. The victims include women who have sex outside of marriage and political opponents of the right wing Islamist government. The building of socialism would end discrimination regardless of sex, sexual orientation and allow people the right to determine how they lived their own personal lives. It would allow personal expression would open up allow prejudice and repression to be ended for all.

Iran's Governmental System Posted: February 20, 2004 The very structure of Iran's government is built upon a foundation split by a power struggle between reformists and Islamic hard-liners. According to Iran's constitution, its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who succeeded revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, holds the majority of the power. Elected leaders, including President Mohammad Khatami and members of parliament, hold much less authority. Supervisory bodies including the Expediency Council, Council of Guardians and the Assembly of Experts also carry broad responsibilities to monitor the government and ensure the legislation follows both the constitution and Islamic law. Iran's constitution was written in 1979 and amended in 1989. Elected President The president is the second highest-ranking government official in Iran. Elected by popular vote to a four-year term, they are limited to two consecutive terms.

This story came up in my newsreader this morning, and I made a note to post about it. Brad brought it to my attention in a comment, and I tried to think of what to say. But there are some things so horrible that it leaves even me speechless. What do you say about a country with a theocratic government, that whips and executes gay teenagers The youths were hanged in Edalat (Justice) Square in the city of Mashhad, in north east Iran. They were sentenced to death by Court No. 19. Iran enforces Islamic Sharia law, which dictates the death penalty for gay sex. One youth was aged 18 and the other was a minor under the age of 18. They were only identified by their initials, M.A. and A.M. They admitted to having gay sex (probably under torture) but claimed in their defence that most young boys had sex with each other and that they were not aware that homosexuality was punishable by death. Prior to their execution, the teenagers were held in prison for 14 months and severely beaten with 228 lashes. Their length of detention suggests that they committed the so-called offences more than a year earlier, when they were possibly around the age of 16. Doug Ireland has more on this, as does

Darius 1st issued a gold coin-the Daric. Soon, it passed as a currency even outside the Iranian empire. IRANIAN GOVERNMENT Although the Iranian kings were ruthless in their conquests, they were not cruel by comparison with their neighbors and predecessor. Toleration rather than intimidation was the keynote of their imperial policy. The Ackaemenid kings sought to annex the conquered peoples to the empire on favorable terms. Iranian rule was less rigid than Assyrian, and so less objectionable. Babylon submitted to Cyrus without a fight. Many Babylonians preferred his rule to that of Naabonidus, the last king. Instead of destroying Babylon as Sennacherib had done, Cyrus honored it by making the city one of his several capitals. The Iranian empire was organized into Satrapies (Provinces) by Darius I (Reigned 521-486 BC), the third king of Persia. Each satrapy had its Satrap (Governor). Darius first, mindful perhaps of Cyrus's past experience, was suspicious of satraps who might grow too powerful. Therefore, alongside each satrap he appointed a general and a secretary of state. With the power divided among them, the three officials had to report directly to the king. His personal inspectors visited them regularly, accompanied by a troop of soldiers.

"THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT ARE LIARS" PARIS, 26 July. (IPS, with reports from Nicholas Read and Petti Fong of the Vancouver Sun) The family of Keyvan Tabesh, a young Iranian shot and killed by a Port Moody police officer on 14 July, expressed shock at the attitude of the Iranian government trying to use the incident as a mean to cover up the death of Ms. Zahra Kazemi, the 54 years-old Iranian-Canadian photojournalist. On Friday, Iran's Foreign Affairs Minister Kamal Kharrazi said that his ministry has launched an immediate probe into the killing of the young Tabesh and injuring a friend, Amir Aqa’i by the Canadian police. Family members say they had no idea the Iranian government was going to use the death of their 18-year-old son and brother to deepen a diplomatic incident with Canada. "We were surprised", said Keyvan's sister, Rita, in an interview from Burnaby. "We never talk to the government". "The problem is between Keyvan's family and the police", she said softly, but with emotion. "It is a social problem, not a political problem". Keyvan, 18, was shot by a Port Moody police officer when he approached the officer with a machete in his hand.

Citing a 'mission accomplished' in Iraq, President Bush told 25,000 soldiers in Fort Hood, Texas; "The establishment of a free Iraq is a watershed event in the global democratic revolution. That success is sending a message from Beirut to Tehran." Tasked by the Bush administration with sending that message from America to Tehran, and "winning hearts and minds" is 'swiftboat veteran' author Jerome Corsi. On May 16, Corsi's NGO, The Iran Freedom Foundation, inaugurated a 12-day "Iran Freedom Walk" from Philadelphia's Liberty Bell to Washington, D.C. Dipping two fingers in red paint, Corsi waved a peace sign in solidarity "with the blood of oppressed Iranians" and called on "the spirit of Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King." He declared; "I love the Iranian people. America does not hate the Persian people. We love the Persian people. We want peace and we love the Persian people." Corsi's voice then dropped to a whisper; "We stand here today and we pray in the name of the Gods. I embrace Jesus Christ as my savior—and we also pray in the name of Allah, Zoroaster, and the B'hai."

Liberal clergy wanted to relax some of the religious restrictions on Iranian society. In the late 1990s conservatives controlled the legislature and the judiciary, and liberals under President Mohammed Khatami controlled the executive. Although Khatami won the 1997 presidential election by a landslide, conservatives sought to undermine his authority in many ways. In 1998 an Iranian court, in a trial that was widely seen as politically motivated, convicted the liberal mayor of Tehran of corruption for illegally funneling city funds into Khatami’s election campaign. In 1999 liberals won control of most local council seats in the country’s first municipal elections. Liberals won control of the legislature in 2000, and Khatami was reelected in 2001. deeper links Constitution Velayat-e Faqih Executive Legislature ...
