His Excellency Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

President of the Islamic Republic of Iran

Greetings,

We are a group of Iranian journalists, photographers and newspaper reporters who have emigrated from our country due to political pressures and the closure of the media outlets we used to work for. We do not currently have a newspaper or a media channel to work for in Iran, however we have a lot of questions to ask you, questions which have been left unanswered during your recent interviews with Western reporters.

Detained Iranian political activists, Abdollah Momeni has written a letter addressed to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, to describe the torture he was subjected to before he participated in the “coerced confessions and the show trials” of last summer.

The International Campaign for Human Rights published Momeni’s letter expressing grave concern over the safety of this political activist in prison and holding Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Larijani, head of Iran’s judiciary, responsible for his life.

Abdollah Momeni, spokesman for the student organization, Danesh Amoukhtegan, was arrested on June 20, 2009 after the controversial presidential elections that returned Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to power amidst charges of vote fraud, and he is currently serving out a four year sentence at Evin Prison.

Your Excellency!
According to recent events and evidence put forward by various independent human right organizations, the Islamic republic of Iran has put the people under immense pressure and dissidents are being imprisoned under false accusations such as “acting against national security”, espionage and even high treason.

These detainees are tortured both physically and mentally and now the government is using increased executions as a deterrent method.
