Dear Dr. Ahmed
Shaheed,
United Nations
Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran
My name is
Mohammad Ali Mansour and it has been nearly 10 years that I have been in
prison. My daughter, Iran Mansouri, has taken measures in my defense, including
her interview and meeting with yourself. Considering the fact that she is not
in Iran and I am in prison, in the early morning hours of Tuesday, January 19th,
a number of unknown individuals raided the residence of my son, Alireza
Mansouri, without providing any names or saying to what intelligence, security
or judiciary organ they belong to. This attack took place while my son’s wife
and their 18-month old son were completely terrified. These individuals
confiscated a large amount of my son’s personal items and documents. Another group
of these individuals, again without providing any names, attacked my son’s
workplace and arrested him. Without providing any reason, previous warning or even
summoning him, but resorting to insults, profanity and security threats, and
even asking why does he have a joint bank account with his wife? Or why do you
talk to everyone about your father who is a political prisoner? Why? Why? Why?
The main allegation raised is the interview (aimed at saving me) my daughter
had with yourself as the only official whom all Iranians are pleading to. Bogus
charges such as a “joint bank account with a spouse”, “sending money for a
jailed father” and even sending clothing and medicine into prison. These are
only excuses to take vengeance for the report about my daughter’s interview
with you because she is not at their reach, and they are instead targeting her
brother and myself.
Once again,
since there is no true entity in Iran to seek justice, I am urgently asking for
your help.
Respectfully,
Mohammad Ali
Mansouri
