 NCRI, October 4 – The following are remarks by Lord Slynn of Hadley on Article 21c of the Iraqi constitution concerning refugees with particular reference to PMOI members in Iraq. He presented his remarks to a meeting jurists and parliamentarians in London on September 13. I am going to say something on the purely legal aspects of article 21 of the draft constitution as I see it as a lawyer. Let me just read it to you. I am sure you have already seen it and read it and probably reacted to it. It is quite important to keep the actual words in mind. Article 21 reads...firstly an Iraqi should not be handed over to foreign bodies…that is no concern of ours…political asylum in Iraq should be regulated by law…and political refugees should not be turned over to a foreign body or forcefully returned to the country from which he has fled. This is the interesting part…the part we are concerned with today is the subparagraph C of article 21. political asylum shall not be granted to those accused of committing international or terror crimes or to anyone who has caused Iraq harm.

The Washington Post, UNITED NATIONS, October 4 - The Bush administration Monday tried to increase pressure on Russia to halt the supply of nuclear energy technology to Iran, citing a recent finding by a U.N. board that Tehran is in violation of its commitment to disclose its nuclear activities.
Stephen G. Rademaker, the acting U.S. assistant secretary of state for international security and nonproliferation, said governments needed to rethink their nuclear trade policies in light of the Sept. 24 decision by the board of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The 35-member board declared Tehran in "noncompliance" with its obligations to report advances in its nuclear programs.

 NCRI, October 4 - On October 2 the first part of a report from Iranian prisons by Mostafa Naderi was published on this page. This is the second and final part of his report:
After about two and a half months, they transferred us in a meat truck to Gohardasht Prison in Karaj, west of Tehran. They locked me up in solitary confinement, once for three years and another time for two years. I was kept in a 2 by 1.5 m cell.
In the first five or six months, I thought about the past. I could remember people and names. But after about one year, I seemed to have forgotten everything. The main hall there had 40 cells, 20 on the right and 20 on the left. A few cells away from mine, one of the prisoners, Reza Shiradian told me he had been raped and they intended to execute him. When arrested, he was only 16. When I got of prison, I heard he had been executed.

NCRI, October 2 – Horrific accounts of torture in Iranian prisons shocked participants of a meeting in Stockholm organized by the Swedish Red Cross on the occasion of 20th anniversary of foundation of center for the victims of torture.
Mostafa Naderi, a former Iranian political prisoner, explained about the torture he suffered during 12 years of imprisonment:
I was arrested in Tehran in 1981 and taken to Evin Prison simply for selling newspapers.
They blindfolded me and took me to the interrogation room, where they tied me to a bench while on my back. They took out my socks and forced them into my mouth. They then bent my legs from behind and tied them to my thighs. Then, they began flogging me with cables. It was very painful, as the pain began to affect my eyes and head.
