Dear sir/madam,
Re: COMMUNICATION No. 1 ON MRS. ETIYYE METINPUR (Tahiri)
Please find enclosed Communication No. 1 submitted for the attention of the Special Raporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression of Mrs. Metinpur. She is a tireless campaigner for her husband, Mr. Seid Metinpur, a distinguished human rights defender of Southern Azerbaijani national movement and a journalist.
The Communication is presented in Table 1, presenting our assessment of risks to Mrs. Metinpur by intimidations of Iranian security agents. As such, there is no opportunity for such individuals to exercise their right to freedom of opinion and expression.
We would like to stress that the compilation and submission of this Communication is our initiative and we have not consulted with Mrs. Metinpur, her family members or anyone representing her interests. We state this to manage the risk of reprisal against her by the Iranian authorities.
Once again we appeal to your kind attention to act on this case for safeguarding the human rights and safety of Mr. Metinpur and his family members.
Yours faithfully,
Boyuk Resuloglu
For and on behalf of
The Committee for the Defence of the Rights of World Azerbaijanis
