Tuesday, 30 March 2010

Eastern Kurdistan: To pressure the Kurdish human rights activists along with the imposition of the unfair charges upon them, the Iranian regime is even violating its own principles. Along the same line of policies the Iranian Court dismissed Hussein Xeziri’s appeal for an investigation of his illegal and unjust torture while he was held in the Military Corps Detention.

It should be noted that one year ago Hussein Xiziri launched an appeal to the Revolution Court of Urmie city in protest to his persecutions by the Military Corps. But after one year his appeal was dismissed.

In the appeal Mr. Xiziri pointed out that he was subjected to intensive tortures in the Military Corps of Urmie and all the confessions he made was under the systematic tortures. He also claimed that he has been held in a solitary confinement for the last 7 months where he received various types of tortures.

Hussein Xiziri is a Kurdish human right activist from the city of Urmie who has been sentenced to death for his alleged involvement with the Kurdish opposition parties.
