NCRI – Ali Sarami, 63, member of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), was hanged at dawn on Tuesday, December 28, 2010, after 24 years of incarceration under the clerical and Shah\u2019s rule.<\/p>\n
Since the beginning of the clerical rule, Sarami was arrested four times. The last time he was arrested was in August 2007 during a ceremony marking the anniversary of massacre of political prisoners. After the Ashura uprising in December 2009, he was sentenced to death.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, offered her condolences to his family, especially to his son, Akbar, in Camp Ashraf. She said that Ali\u2019s execution highlighted the Iranian regime\u2019s fear of the PMOI and the Iranian Resistance and it was the regime\u2019s way of taking revenge following its repeated failures to plot against Ashraf, which is standing firm and steadfast. She added that this great crime only reflects the regime\u2019s inability and frustration in face of the resolute Iranian youths and members of PMOI who are determined to overthrow the clerical rule and establish freedom and the rule of people in Iran.<\/p>\n
The regime\u2019s so called Revolutionary Prosecutor described Sarami\u2019s charge as \u201cpublicity activities against the sacred rule of Islamic Republic.\u201d He wrote: \u201cHe visited Ashraf and during that he received necessary trainings and returned to the country\u2026 and eventually he was arrested in August 2007 for his repeated activities and participation in counter revolutionary ceremonies and gatherings in support of PMOI and dispatching reports to this grouplet (PMOI). During a search in his house some CDs, films, pictures from PMOI and hand written organizational documents linked to the grouplet were found and confiscated.\u201d<\/p>\n
The henchmen of the regime subjected Sarami to the most brutal torture and pressures until his last days in a bid to break his resistance, but despite all his ailments and intolerable prison conditions, he stood firm on the ideal of freedom and liberation for the people of Iran and did not yield.<\/p>\n
When receiving his death sentence he said: “They cannot frighten me and my freedom-loving compatriots by execution and hanging… The only reason for such sentences is their fear of their own unstable state”.<\/p>\n
Following Ali Sarami’s execution, his daughter was arrested by the regime’s henchmen this morning outside Evin Prison in Tehran.<\/p>\n
