Protest against Human Rights Violations in Iran at UN September 2009
This petition was published by Mehran Rafiei on Sep 03, 2009
To: The Honourable Kevin Rudd MP, Prime Minister of Australia
Subject: Protest by Australian delegation against Human Rights Violations in Iran at the UN General Annual Assembly, September 2009
We, pro-democracy Australians, who are deeply concerned about human rights violations in Iran, respectfully request that the Australian delegation to the United Nations General Assembly in New York refuses to acknowledge Mr Mahmood Ahmadinejad as Iran’s legitimate President.
We ask that the Australian delegation refuse to listen to his address to the General Assembly and walk out in protest against the widespread human and civil rights abuses perpetrated by Ahmadinejad’s regime (well documented by international non-government human rights organisations). 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.
While Mr Ahmadinejad’s shameful denial of the Holocaust has resulted in past walk-outs by world leaders, we ask that the September UN meeting walk-out be specifically in protest of the regime’s brutal crackdown on peaceful political opposition inside Iran. This suppression has included the torture and killing of minors held in arbitrary detention.
Ahmadinejad’s regime must recognise that the rest of the world strongly disapproves of its behaviour towards its own people and that the world will continue to monitor and protest until all human rights abuses cease.
We ask the Australian government to clearly and diplomatically state its opposition to Ahmadinejad’s treatment of the Iranian people, including the action to walk out in protest upon the commencement of Mr Ahmadinejad’s address to the September UN General Assembly.
Respectfully yours
