Sid Kazemeiny Boroojerdi , a Shiite clergy
and supporter of separation of religion from
state , has appealed to the EU Foreign
Affairs Directorate . He was arrested in
summer of 2005, after his sit-in with one
thousand of his supporters had been brutally
crashed.In his letter Boroujerdi has written: “ Iranian people suffer from expansion of terror, increase of hangings and violence on the streets and kidnapping, and demand respect for Human rights and freedom of believe, and also internationally respected laws and conventions by the Iranian government.
“The majority of the people don’t consider the violent Islam propagated by the mullahs as the real Islam. They call the mullahs brand of Islam a production of the 1978 revolution.” He continues in his letter.
“It has been more than 15 years that I have been facing threats and pressure and have been boycotted by Government Clergy. My only wish has been to rid my country men of discrimination and to establish peace and equality for them. Last year, regardless of extreme suppression and terror in the society, our last religious gathering with no political content, successfully took place in the sports stadium in Iran.
“In that unprecedented gathering which only involved a part of the active society, many religious minority members had taken part. That gathering represented the peaceful co-existence and solidarity to be, amongst all divisions of religions and beliefs present in Iran.” writes Mr.Boroujerdi.
His letter then continues as; “as a Human being who believes in his creator and lord, I beg you to help us. We have not been and are not political. Our only wish has been to separate religion from state. This has instigated the tyrant mullahs’ wrath.”
Boroujerdi ends his letter saying: “And now with a devastated physical situation and under the harshest physical and psychological conditions of my lifetime, and as I am regularly threatened to death in prison, I look forwards to your righteous and effective interference.”
This letter has been smuggled out of Evin prison by Boroujerdi.
An official of the Special Religious Court had told the press on the 12 September that Mr. Boroujerdis’ sentence had been delivered by the court but his case was to be reconsidered.
Sid Kazemeiny Boroojerdi and around 500 of his supporters had been arrested last summer and violently tortured while in detention in 209 and 240 of Evin prison.
