Kidnapping of Iranian security forces abroad .. New report on NRT

In recent years, Iranian security forces have abducted several dissidents outside Iran and returned them to Iran.

The latest example is Mr. Jamshid Sharmahd, the leader of the Thunder group, who, according to his family, was arrested in Dubai by Iranian security forces and transferred to Iran.

https://www.facebook.com/naliatv/videos/3184811984930937/

The new tactic of the Iranian government is to kidnap the opposition abroad

The family of Jamshid Sharmahd, the leader of the "Thunder" group, say that he was abducted by agents of the Ministry of Intelligence of the Islamic Republic while he was living in Dubai.

Mr. Sharmahd's family told the Associated Press on Tuesday that his cell phone location information showed that he had been taken to Oman before being transferred to Iran.

"We want the support of free and democratic countries," Jamshid's son Shayan Sharmahd told the Associated Press. This is a violation of human rights. "You cannot kidnap someone from a third country and take them home."

He added that his father was planning to travel from Dubai to India for a business deal and hoped that he would be able to change his plane despite the outbreak of the Corona virus.

Mr. Sharmahd's son says that the last time they received a message from his father was on July 28, and since then he has not responded to his calls or messages.

Shayan says his father's cell phone location that day showed the Dubai International Airport hotel where he was staying.

It is not clear how he was abducted. A hotel manager said that Mr. Sharmahd had settled his account on July 29.

His cell phone location information shows that he left Dubai for Al-Ain in the south of the UAE on the same day and entered Oman after crossing the border. He also spent the night near an Islamic school in the border town of Al-Barimi.

Tracing the location of Mr. Sharmahd's mobile phone shows that he went to the port of Sohar in southern Oman on July 30 (August 9), where his location was turned off.

Two days later, the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence announced in a statement that it had arrested Mr. Sharmahd "following a complex operation."

Hossein Tayeb, the head of the IRGC's intelligence service, called Mr. Sharmahd's detention a "sign of the authority and strength of the intelligence community."

Iran's intelligence ministry, meanwhile, said it had taken charge of the Thunder group in Iran.

How are the opponents of the Iranian government 'kidnapped' abroad?

The list of political opponents abroad who fell into the hands of the Iranian government's security forces is long. In this article, we take a look at the fate of some of these figures: اک Ali Akbar Ghorbani Nikji (head of security of the Mojahedin Organization), Ali. Tavassoli (one of the leaders of the People's Fadaiyan Organization of the majority), Foroud Fooladvand (founder of the Royal Society of Iran) and Abdolmalek Rigi (founder of Jundallah) and finally Ruhollah Zam (one of the founders of Amnnews).

The exact fate and judicial process of some of these people is not known.

Among the domestic opposition, the argument was sometimes quoted that the Iranian government was trying to drive its influential opponents and critics out of the country. In recent decades, this policy has taken on another aspect: Iran's security apparatus has drawn in its influential opposition or, in some cases, has leaked information abroad.

Ali Akbar Ghorbani Nikji, a figure close to the Mojahedin, was abducted in June 1992. The Mojahedin confirmed his abduction and opened a case before the Turkish judiciary.

Several Turkish citizens are said to have abducted him in the شیişli district of Istanbul when he left his home to get in his car.

The Mojahedin organization wrote about how he was abducted: "Two Turks approached him in police uniforms and showed him the police ID card and asked him to go to the police station with them to answer some questions. Ali Akbar Ghorbani, who suspected them, started "Asking them that they are attacking him and using anesthetics to anesthetize him and take him away."

Ali Tavassoli was one of the leaders of the Fadaiyan Khalq Organization, who left for Baku on a business trip in 1995, but suddenly left Iran and was imprisoned.

Amnesty International's report confirms the possibility of his abduction by the Ministry of Intelligence and his transfer to Iran.

In the mid-1980s, Fooladvand was one of the figures who became famous for his sharp critique of Islam on satellite television.

Fathullah Manouchehri, who calls himself Foroud Fooladvand, ran a television network called the Royal Society of Iran.

His son Kianoosh Manouchehri later confirmed his abduction and detention by Iranian security forces.

Fathullah Manouchehri and his two companions disappeared in December 2006 in Hakkari Province, Turkey.

Alexander Valizadeh, an Iranian-American citizen, and Nazem Schmidt, an Iranian-German citizen, were also arrested with him.

At the time, Amnesty International confirmed their detention and wrote that they were likely being held in the Ministry of Intelligence detention center.

Mr. Folavand said he was looking to organize a group to overthrow the Iranian government.

An examination of a number of cases of political opponents of the Islamic Republic who have disappeared or been released from prisons in Iran shows that these incidents have generally occurred in Iran's neighboring countries.

In many cases, the Iranian government has portrayed the return of political opponents to the country as the success and authority of its political systems. The arrest of Abdul Malik Rigi, the leader of the Jundallah group in the winter of 1995, was no exception and he considered a great success for the Ministry of Intelligence.

The then Iranian Interior Minister, Mostafa Mohammad Najjar, announced that Rigi had been arrested abroad and transferred to Iran. Minister of Intelligence Haidar Moslehi, however, said that Ministry of Intelligence agents managed the operation abroad but arrested him inside the country.

Jundallah was opposed to the Islamic Republic and stated that his goal was to protect the rights of Iran's Sunni minority, especially in Sistan and Baluchestan Province.

Abdolmalek Rigi was convicted of moharebeh and corruption on earth and was executed in June 2010.

Ruhollah Zam is another political opponent of the Islamic Republic who has fallen into the hands of Iranian security officials.

It seems that the arrest and transfer of political opponents inside the country is still an "up-to-date project" for the republic.

This time, too, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that the force's intelligence service had arrested Ruhollah Zam, the director of the Amnnews telegram channel, in a "smart intelligence operation."

The arrest, or what the Iranian security services call "trapping security suspects," is also a major victory and a propaganda campaign, and hours after the news of Ruhollah Zam's arrest was announced, he was blindfolded on state television as "confessing." That's wrong.

Is kidnapping a low-cost alternative to eliminating opponents?

In the 1960s and 1970s (1980), the Iranian government was accused of assassinating its political opponents abroad.

In the most famous example, the German judiciary blamed the Iranian government for the assassination of three leaders and accused their translator of "state terrorism" at the Mykonos restaurant in Berlin. The court's ruling prompted European countries to expel their ambassadors from Iran at the time.

Since then, for at least a few years, no assassination attempt has been made against the political opponents of the Iranian government, or if it did, it has not been made public. The cost of killing dissidents abroad had risen, so perhaps bringing dissidents inside the country or kidnapping them became more of a priority.

At least until the arrests of Abdolmalek Rigi and Ruhollah Zam, the Iranian government tried to keep the arrests secret. But now it is doing so with widespread publicity.

Abdolmalek Rigi's confession was broadcast on Iranian state television a few days after his arrest. As for Ruhollah Zam, the Iranian government was in such a hurry that just a few minutes after the news of his arrest was broadcast, a few minutes of his "forced confessions" were broadcast on television.

Trapping those whom the Islamic Republic considers dangerous in some way is not limited to political opponents. People like Shahram Amiri, an Iranian nuclear expert, have fallen into the hands of the Iranian government in similar ways or by bribery.

The Turkish parliament has passed a controversial law controlling social media that human rights groups say poses a serious threat to freedom of expression.

The law requires foreign social networks with more than one million users inside Turkey to have a local office and representative office in the country and to comply with content removal requests.

Companies face fines for violating the new law, and their data exchange speeds may be severely limited.

Facebook and Twitter have not yet responded to the new rule.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called social media "immoral" and has publicly called for tight control.

The draft law was presented to parliament by the ruling Justice and Development Party and its ally, the National Movement Party. The two parties hold a majority in the Turkish parliament, and their plan was approved on Wednesday (July 29th).

Under the new law, social networks may face a 95% reduction in bandwidth, which effectively means stopping the use of these networks.

The Internet is a vital tool for dissidents and critics of the government in Turkey, who say the new law will lead to more censorship by the government.

The hashtag "Say no to censorship" has been trending in Turkey since the day it was passed.

Amnesty International described the passage of the law as "the latest and perhaps most obvious attack on freedom of expression in Turkey".

"Internet law significantly increases government access to police force for censorship of virtual content and poses a greater threat to those who have previously only expressed dissent," said Andrew Garner, a Turkish affairs researcher at the human rights group. "They have been brutally targeted."

A spokesman for the Turkish presidency has denied using the law for censorship, saying it is aimed at shaping legal and commercial relationships with social media.

Baneh: Sentence of imprisonment and flogging for 10 civil activists protesting the killing of Kulbers

KMMK:

The Revolutionary Court of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran sentenced 10 civil society activists in Baneh who had protested against the killing of Colbran and participated in a protest rally to prison, fines and flogging.

According to the report: "Mohsen Ghaderi, Sardar Aminpour, Yasin Osmani, Barzan Rahimi, Azad Mahmoudzadeh, Shahram Salehi, Akam Ahmadi, Ezat Ahmadi, Mehdi Arkhani and Ribvar Salehi" were among the civil activists in Baneh by the Revolutionary Court of the Government of Iran in Baneh. They were sentenced to 25 lashes, a fine of 25 million Tomans and 3 months in prison.

It should be noted that: The conviction of this number of civil activists in Baneh is to participate in a protest rally of the people of Baneh against the killing of Kulbers in 2017, which was held at that time for the killing of 2 Kulbers in this city.

The activists were arrested on the same day as the protest rally and later released, but apparently their case has been kept open by the Islamic Republic's judiciary, which in the past few days has received a total of 250 lashes, 30 months in prison and a 250 million toman fine. Has issued a verdict against them.

It should be noted that: Hundreds of Kurdish cobblers are killed annually on the eastern borders with Junb and northern Kurdistan by the border forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Turkey and by direct firing of these forces for the livelihood of their families.

Statement by the French unions on the killing of kolbar by the armed forces of the Iranian government

KMMK:

The Kurdistan Human Rights Association is satisfied with this statement, which has been claimed by this population for many years, although the depth of the tragedy is much greater and the casualties, financial and consequences are much wider, and we publish the text of the statement as ourselves.

Statement by French unions on #Killing_Kolbran by the armed forces of the Iranian regime Stop the killing of Colbran in Iran. Between 8 and 10 million Kurds living in the Kurdish regions of Iran are subjected to discriminatory and repressive policies by the Iranian regime.

The Iranian regime severely suppresses any political protests and demands for Kurdish autonomy-identity. To keep the people of this region in a state of instability and misery, the regime has hindered the economic development of the region, almost no industry has been launched in this region, and the orientation of products and resources is mainly for the central regions of the country. Unemployment is very high. Due to the lack of employment opportunities in the region, young people are widely forced to migrate to large Persian-speaking cities.

For thousands of residents of Rojehlat (Iranian Kurdistan), the Iraqi-Iranian border is the only source of livelihood. Kulberi means cross-border exchanges of goods, transporting goods on human carts or on mules by crossing mountains, transferring all kinds of goods from Iraq and Turkey to Iran, with many risks. From diapers to home appliances, including clothing, blankets, car tires, tea, satellite dishes, alcohol, cigarettes. These goods are offered in the markets of big cities such as Tehran. Every day, thousands of male and female workers, including children and the elderly, take risks and risk their lives along these borders in order to make a living and make ends meet for themselves and their families.

If a Kulber dies or is injured, his family will have no source of income. Legally, Kulbery's situation is ambiguous, sometimes legal, sometimes legal and sometimes illegal, and subject to the goodwill of the authorities.

In addition to the dangers posed by impassable mountains and an area full of unexploded ordnance, border guards fire at them and increase the number of retaliation each year. During 2019 alone, the number of casualties was 79 and the number of injured reached 165. It is rare for border guards to be tried for these killings. They do not even hesitate to kill mules.

Many Kolbranes are also sentenced to prison or heavy fines. The fate of the Kulbers is the result of several factors: influenced by the nation-state and the central government's integrationist policies toward the Kurds and the destructive effects of US sanctions on Iran, which have only exacerbated the plight of the masses under pressure from the regime.

We are French trade unions. اس. He and Solidar draw the attention of working men and women and the international community to the humanitarian and social catastrophe of Kolburn. We call on the Iranian government to stop suppressing the Kolbrans and, above all, killing them at the borders. The government must recognize them as legal workers in order to enjoy their rights and security. Paris 21 July 2020 United Federation of Trade Unions (FSO-Cultural) Union of Solidarity (Solidarity).
