- Re: Execution of Iranian teacher trade unionist Farzad Kamangar
Excellency:
I am writing to you on behalf of the Canadian Teachers’ Federation who represents nearly 200,000 elementary and secondary school teachers across Canada to strongly condemn the execution of the Kurdish teacher trade unionist Farzad Kamangar on May 9, 2010.
Despite the evident lack of independent inquiry into the allegations, the absence of a fair judicial process, the fact that Mr. Kamangar’s appeal was still to be reviewed by the Supreme Court, though Mr. Kamangar’s lawyer had been told that the file had been lost, Mr. Kamangar has still been executed. I denounce this inhumane treatment of Farzad Kamangar, and the fact that neither his family, nor his lawyer, were informed about the execution. |

Amnesty International has condemned the “wholly avoidable” deaths of several people in Iran during the ‘Ashoura religious commemorations.
Seyed Ali Mousavi, the nephew of former presidential candidate and political leader, Mir Hossein Mousavi, is believed to have been shot dead.
Another person was said to have died after falling off a bridge and two people were reportedly killed in car accidents on Sunday. Iranian police said that there were 300 arrests.
Amnesty International has called on the authorities to ensure that those attending funerals and commemorations in the coming days and weeks are guaranteed the right to assemble peacefully and to express their opposition to the current government.
"The spiral of violence is growing in Iran and the excessive force by the security forces appears to be meeting unprecedented resistance from protestors,” said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Amnesty International Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa.
