Zeinab Bayazidi: Prisoner of the day
RAHANA: Zeinab Bayazidi, 31, is a Kurdish activist and member of the One Million Signatures Campaign. Prior to her last arrest she had been sentenced to 6 months' suspended imprisonment for her human rights activities.
In the days prior to her arrest, Zeinab Bayazidi was summoned several times by intelligence agents to go to the intelligence offices of the city of Mahabad in Kurdistan, where she was subsequently questioned and interrogated. On July 5, 2008, she was arrested and held by agents for a few hours when she was at their Mahabad offices. On July 9, 2008, Zeinab Bayazidi was again summoned and arrested at the Intelligence Office.
Zeinab Bayazidi was charged with “using the Kurdish name ‘Zeilan’ for her store," and "activities in the One Million Signatures Campaign.” She was sentenced to four years in prison and exile to the Zanjan Central Prison. Her family said regarding her sentence, “the Intelligence Ministry and their agents had demanded that she remove the name ‘Zeilan’ from her shop door. Zeinab refused to give in to their demands, stating that since ‘Zeilan’ is a registered Kurdish name and can be found in the Registry Offices, it is not an illegal name. Intelligence forces insisted on a name change for her shop, claiming that this is a name used by ‘PJAK’ organization, and that it could be a codename."
On August 24, 2008, the Mahabad Appeals Court upheld Zeinab’s four-year prison and exile sentence in Zanjan. On November 15, 2008, she was transferred to Zanjan prison where she is now serving her sentence.
On July 9, 2010, Zeinab Bayazidi went on hunger strike for several days to protest the Head Warden's inappropriate encounters with several female prisoners.

by Bavafa on Mon Feb 06, 2012 09:50 PM PSTHuman rights is part of a basic right for every citizen that must be held secret and protected. These rights have been systematically been violated in Iran under IRI and those who have been fighting to protect these basic rights, have been paying a high price for it.
It is our duty to support these young and brave bunch thru a sustain campaign for their immediate and unconditional support.
My salute to every one of these young and brave souls.

Dear Rozbeh
by Soosan Khanoom on Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:51 AM PSTWhat have you been smoking lately? Since when to be an antiwar makes one a whore or IRI supporter?
This girl is in prison because of lack of democracy in Iran. Because she cannot say or do what she wants politically or non politically without being labeled, accused and thrown in jail. You think your attitude towards antiwar people are better? Do you think a war will free her? Since when the superpowers have let the people of Iran see the freedom ... many times in the past we have been promised freedom and a country free from the political prisoners but each time after each replacement we ended up having new set of people ending up in jail. IRI has its field day with Israel's stand off but it is the poor people of Iran including its political prisoners that are suffering the most. And I know you know better..
