NCRI –\u00a0An article published<\/a> in \u201cThe Globe and Mail\u201d on Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2016 raises concern over fate of Dr. Homa Hoodfar.<\/p>\n

Earlier in June. Amnesty International called on Iran’s regime to release a Montreal-based university professor who was imprisoned for almost a week at the time.
Alex Neve, secretary general of Amnesty International Canada, described Homa Hoodfar as a prisoner of conscience.<\/p>\n

“The arrest of respected and accomplished scholar, Dr. Homa Hoodfar, is the latest attempt by the Iranian authorities at targeting individuals, including academics, for the peaceful exercise of their rights to freedom of expression and association,” Neve said in a statement Thursday.<\/p>\n

“It is deeply troubling that someone whose research focuses on addressing women’s inequality can find herself arbitrarily arrested and held, possibly in solitary confinement, without access to a lawyer and her family.”<\/p>\n

Following is the text of article: <\/p>\n

After three months in solitary detention, the Canadian-Iranian university professor Homa Hoodfar\u2019s health has declined to the point that she can barely walk or talk, her relatives say.<\/p>\n

In a statement released Tuesday, the family of Prof. Hoodfar said the 65-year-old Concordia University anthropologist had to be hospitalized as her condition worsened since being held after June 6 at Tehran\u2019s Evin Prison.<\/p>\n

Prof. Hoodfar\u2019s niece, Amanda Ghahremani, said the family had agreed in recent weeks to keep a low profile at the request of the Iran judicial authorities, who wanted \u201cto allow the legal process to take its course.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, she said in the family statement, \u201cGiven the alarming news of Homa\u2019s hospitalization and declining health, we are left with no choice but to publicize these travesties of justice widely, as it has become clear that the authorities are not prioritizing her health and do not intend to respect Homa\u2019s due process rights under Iranian law.\u201d<\/p>\n

The family also raised concerns about the nebulous charges Prof. Hoodfar faces in Iran \u2013 the Tehran public prosecutor accused her of \u201cdabbling in feminism and security matters\u201d \u2013 and the way her lawyer was blocked from accessing her file or applying for bail. Media in Iran reported said she was charged with fomenting a feminist \u201csoft revolution\u201d against the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n

Prof. Hoodfar suffered a mild stroke last year and has myasthenia gravis (MG), a rare neuromuscular disorder which weakens her voluntary muscles.<\/p>\n

\u201cProfessor Hoodfar was hospitalized due to her rapidly declining health,\u201d Tuesday\u2019s communiqu\u00e9 said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was very disoriented, severely weakened, and could hardly walk or talk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prof. Hoodfar\u2019s case is a priority for the department and for Foreign Affairs Minister St\u00e9phane Dion, said a spokesman for Global Affairs Canada, John Babcock.<\/p>\n

However, he noted that Canada does not have diplomatic representation in Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working with countries of influence and pursuing the best course of action to press the case and secure her safe return to her family, friends and colleagues. The challenges posed by the absence of a diplomatic presence cannot be underestimated,\u201d Mr. Babcock said in an e-mailed statement.<\/p>\n

An anthropologist who taught at Concordia University in Montreal, Prof. Hoodfar has Canadian, Irish and Iranian citizenship.<\/p>\n

Her family says she travelled to Iran on Feb. 11 to visit relatives, but also to conduct research on the history of women\u2019s participation in Iran\u2019s elections.<\/p>\n

Amnesty International said Prof. Homo is a a prisoner of conscience and called on the Iranian government to release her promptly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis news today is certainly an indication that Canadian efforts on her behalf need to intensify,\u201d said Alex Neve, Secretary General of Amnesty\u2019s Canadian chapter.<\/p>\n

Evin Prison, where Prof. Hoodfar is held, is where Canadian-Iranian Zahra Kazemi died in 2003 death while in custody.<\/p>\n

Canada closed its Tehran embassy in 2012.<\/p>\n

The concerns about Prof. Hoodfar came amid reports of the arrest of another Canadian-Iranian, a man who was linked to Iran\u2019s team that negotiated on lifting economic sanctions.<\/p>\n

The official IRNA news agency reported Sunday that the man was briefly detained on suspicion he was an \u201cinfiltrating element\u201d but has since been released on bail.<\/p>\n

Iranian media identified the man as dual Iranian-Canadian national Abdolrasoul Dorri Esfahani, a member of the Ontario Institute of Chartered Accountants in Canada.<\/p>\n

Mr. Esfahani reportedly worked as a member of a parallel team working on lifting economic sanctions under one of the main negotiators for last year\u2019s landmark nuclear deal between Iran and world powers. He was also an adviser to the head of Iran\u2019s Central Bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
