The death sentence of Ehsan Fatahiyan, a 27 years old Kurdish activist is set to be carried out on Wednesday November 11th 2009. A letter was written by the Judiciary to the Court in Sanandaj confirming the date of Mr. Fatahiyan’s execution on November 11th 2009.
Further Mr. Fatahiyan’s lawyer has been informed of this date and has been summoned to the Sanandaj prison on that day to watch the execution of Mr. Fatahiyan. According to Mr. Fatahiyan’s family, he is being executed because the Regime considers him one of the key figures of the recent anti-Regime uprising in the city of Kamyaran. It must be noted that Mr. Fatahiyan has been in prison for the past 18 months.
Mr. Fatahiyan is 27 years old and was born in the city of Kermanshah, but resided in the city of Sanandaj. While in solitary confinement Mr. Fatahiyan was subjected to severe torture in order to obtain a false confession, however even under those harsh circumstances Mr. Fatahiyan has never confessed to carrying arms or being involved in an armed struggle. To this day Mr. Fatahiyan has maintained that he has never carried arms and has never been involved in armed struggle. He believes his death sentence has political reasons.
Mr. Fatahiyan was convicted of the charge of being a “Mohareb” (enemy of god) and originally sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment, however on appeal the death sentence was imposed.
As Mr. Fatahiyan is in the imminent danger of execution I urge all human rights activists and international human rights organizations to take up his case and to help save him from execution. Tomorrow might be too late, let’s not lose another innocent young man in the gallows of the barbaric Islamic Regime.
Down with the Islamic Regime in Iran

by Mona 19 on Mon Nov 09, 2009 09:57 AM PSTاحسان فتاحیان زندانی سیاسی محکوم به اعدام طی رنجنامه ای که به مجموعه فعالان حقوق بشر در ایران ارسال نموده است وضعیت خود را چنین شرح میدهد :
واپسین شعاع آفتاب شبانگاهی
نشان دهنده ی راهی ست که خواهان در نوشتن آنم
خش خش برگ ها زیر قدم هایم
میگوید : بگذار تا فرو افتی
آنگاه راه آزادی را باز خواهی یافت.
هرگز از مرگ نهراسیده ام , حتی اکنون که آن را در قریب ترین فضا و صمیمانه ترین زمان , در کنار خویش حس میکنم. آن را میبویم و بازش میشناسم , چراکه آشنایی ست دیرینه به این ملت و سرزمین. نه با مرگ که با دلایل مرگ سر صحبت دارم , اکنون که " تاوان " دگردیسی یافته و به طلب حق و آزادی ترجمه اش نموده اند , آیا میتوان باکی از عاقبت و سرانجام داشت؟ " ما " ای که از سوی "آنان " به مرگ محکوم شده ایم در طلب یافتن روزنه ای به سوی یک جهان بهتر و عاری از حق کشی در تلاش بوده ایم , آیا آنان نیز به کرده ی خود واقف اند؟

by Paymaneh Amiri on Sun Nov 08, 2009 08:34 PM PSTThank you. This man is a prisoner of conscience. His excution will be cold-blooded murder of a captive. Islamic Republic of Iran has no justice and no shame. His death sentence is even against the IRI laws, whereby an appeal should never result in an increased sentence.
