Dear Prime Minister Harper:
Subject: Taking Action against the Illegitimate Government of Mr. Ahmadinejad in Iran
I wish to bring to your attention the recent events in Iran and urge the Canadian government to take immediate action against the illegitimate government of Mr. Ahmadinejad in the Islamic Republic.
As you are aware, the people of Iran have started a peaceful movement to protest the fraudulent presidential election of June 12, 2009 in that country. Mass peaceful protests have been attended by millions of Iranians across several cities in Iran. The illegitimate government of Mr. Ahmadinejad has tried, and continues to try, to suppress the peaceful movement of the Iranian people through acts of brutal violence against civilians. With the approval of the Revolutionary Guards and the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, the government-backed militia and the riot police have been involved in beating, shooting, murdering, arresting, and torturing countless number of protestors simply for attending peaceful protest marches. The senseless killing of Neda Agha Soltan, captured on video by a bystander, and the recent death of nineteen year-old Sohrab Arabi, are but two examples of the brutal determination by Ahmadinejad’s coup government to silence the opposition. There are also numerous reports and irrefutable evidence implicating the police and the militia in widespread destruction of public and private property as a scare tactic to spread fear among the population.
I am deeply saddened about the situation in Iran and am concerned about the welfare and the basic human rights of the people of Iran, especially for those who are currently imprisoned and are being tortured to make false confessions. A particularly worrisome development is the assignment of Mr. Saeed Mortazavi, Tehran’s notorious prosecutor, to investigate the thousands of detainees. You may recall that Mr. Mortazavi was involved in the gruesome murder of Iranian-Canadian photojournalist, Zahra Kazemi in 2003. In that case, your government bravely spoke out in favour of Mr. Mortazavi’s arrest. It is once again time for Canada to take such a leadership role.
As a Canadian citizen, I am asking my government to take immediate action to condemn the above crimes, which, by their widespread and systematic nature, amount to crimes against humanity under international law. In addition to condemning such rights violations, I ask that my government to:
- politically boycott the illegitimate government of Mr. Ahmadinejad;
- deny entrance to Canada to any Iranian officials above the consulate level;
- inform the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran that Canada holds solely that government and its high ranking officials responsible for the safety of political opposition leaders; and
- ask the United Nations Human Rights Council to voice its support for the rights of the Iranian people and mobilize its resources for the immediate release of all those arrested including opposition leaders, human rights activists, journalists, and protestors.
I truly appreciate your appropriate action in this regard.
Sincerely,
Full Name and Signature
