Dear sir/madam,
GENERAL COMMUNICATION 1: RISK OF FLOGGING AGAINST MR. LEYSANLI WHILST DEPORTED FROM SOUTHERN AZERBAIJAN BY IRANIAN AUTHORITIES
Please find enclosed General Communication 1 to rally for your campaign to the restoration of human rights of Mr. Abbas Leysanli. He is in the imminent risk of being flogged according to the Urgent Action by Amnesty International his deportation to Yazd was facilitated to flog him. Amnesty International also informs that Iran is state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), expressly prohibiting torture. We therefore bring to your urgent attention that your action is essential.
Concurrent with this Communication, we have now provided you the relevant information, reclassifying the court cases pressed by Iranian authorities against Mr. Leysanli and our submitted communications in his defence for your campaign. We summarise his situation for your attention:
• Table 1 reminds you the court cases pressed by the Iranian authorities against Mr. Leysanli
• Communication 1 (Ref: 378/2006 on 31 August 2006 together with its 11 updates and bulletins) informed you of the Iranian authorities’ arbitrary proceedings against Mr. Leysanli.
• Update 10 (Ref: 478/2008 on 13 January 2008) showed how Mr. Leysanli’s formidable personality rebuffed the authority determined to inflict medieval-styled bodily harm by flogging on him.
• Update 11 (Ref: 488/2008 on 23 March 2008) informed you that the Iranian authorities deported Mr. Leysanli from Eher prison to the central Yazd prison 2000Km away. This also informed you that he had to resort to a hunger strike to safeguard his basic human rights and we provided you with the information on his health condition and the absence of medical care he is faced with.
• Communication 2 (Ref: 489/2008 on 23 March 2008) provided you with the appropriate information to request your campaign against Court Case 3.
• The Urgent Action by Amnesty International (MDE 13/050/2008 on 17 March 2008) confirms that Mr. Leysanli is under the risk of being flogged. We fear for the worst and cannot rule out hard-headed Iranian officials with insatiable appetite to inflict bodily harm on Mr. Leysanli.
• Ongoing Campaign by the Azerbaijani Diaspora is underway for the restoration of human rights of Mr. Leysanli with public demonstrations in Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and Britain. Table 2 attaches the open letter to the BBC for your information, which draws attention to Mr. Leysanli as “an architect of activism to promote the national rights of Southern Azerbaijan under the banner of the Universal Human Rights Declaration, through a new model combining the passivism of Mahatma Ghandi with the activism of Nelson Mandela.â€
• Table 3 presents excerpts of the statement by Mr. Seyid Mehemmed Rza Feqihi, Mr. Leysanli’s lawyer, who confirms that there is no legal basis for this deportation and he has authoritative statements to challenge the Iranian authorities.
Putting the above facts together, we wish to express our concern for Mr. Leysanli’s safety and health. Our conclusion is that:
• Mr. Leysanli is in a vulnerable situation and cannot be defended by any means other than your mandates.
• The Iranian authorities are determined to inflict bodily harm on Mr. Leysanli. Evidently, all the indications show that this is to revenge for Mr. Leysanli’s genius to devise a model of struggle indestructible by the Iranian racially-motivated theological power base.
Never before, the UN mandates have been so much needed to safeguard national and human rights of Mr. Leysanli. We hope you will dispatch your health visitor to examine Mr. Leysanli and seek express and definite guarantees from the Iranian authorities for his safety, personal wellbeing and restoration of his human rights.
We thank you in advance and hope that you will use your mandates to safeguard the human rights of Mr Leysanli and thereby of the nation of Southern Azerbaijan.
Yours faithfully;
Boyuk Resuloglu
The Committee for the Defence of the Rights of World Azerbaijanis
