Protest against Human Rights Violation in Iran on "National Student Day"
This petition was published by Mehran Rafiei on Dec 09, 2009
To: The Honourable Kevin Rudd MP, Prime Minister of Australia
Subject: Protest by Australian Government against Human Rights Violations in Iran on 7th December 2009, Iran Student Day
We, QLD Supporters of Democracy for Iran, are deeply disturbed by severity and extent of human rights violations in Iran during Iran Student Day, December 7th, 2009.
Dozens of student leaders were arrested before the Student day. On Monday thousands of Iranian students protested in 200 universities in 50 cites all over the country. There are numerous credible documents, reported by independent sources, about brutality of the Iranian riot police. They have fired live fire and tear gas towards peaceful demonstrators and have beaten and detained a number of students and academics.
These abuses are contrary to claims that Iran is a democracy, and its obligations under The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
We ask the Australian government to openly condemn these inhumane actions of the Islamic Republic of Iran and pressure them to;
* Free all the political prisoners
* Stop invading campuses and dormitories
* Stop detaining and torturing dissidents
* Stop staging illegal and shameful mass TV trials and Soviet style confessions
* Respect civil rights including freedom of expression and religious beliefs
* Stop Internet filtering and slow down
Respectfully yours
