My name is Akbar Saremi. I am the son of political prisoner Ali Saremi. My father has been sentenced to death on charges of meeting me at Camp Ashraf, where members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) reside in Iraq.<\/p>\n
There is no justification for this verdict other than the fact that the regime has been unsuccessful in putting down the uprising in Iran. The regime has been forced to execute political prisoners. These prisoners are unable to do anything. They only execute them to scare people from participating in protests.<\/p>\n
My father came to see me at Camp Ashraf a few years ago. Upon his return to Iran, I called him to make sure he had arrived safely. It was after that phone call that the regime found out that he had visited me at Camp Ashraf. They attacked our house and arrested my father. They destroyed all our belongings. Then they sentenced my father to death.<\/p>\n
A few days ago my father was taken back to the court. He was not in good physical condition; he had just had a surgery. They took him to court in chains and shackles, in an attempt to humiliate him. My father objected to this action in the courtroom. He denied all charges.<\/p>\n
This regime does not even have a due process of law. They didn’t even let my father’s lawyer enter the courtroom. There was no due process even for the five people who were recently executed.<\/p>\n
From one side we see how the regime is putting pressure on the families of PMOI members. I am hereby requesting international organizations to take action in this regard. The executions need to be prevented. Pressures on political prisoners must be condemned.<\/p>\n
For a while now Ministry of Intelligence thugs have come to Camp Ashraf’s main gate. They insult the residents of the camp curse them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
