NCRI – The father of two young political prisoner has written to the United Nations Secretary General, requesting a visit by a UN delegation to investigate the Iranian regime’s killing of his two sons.
Bijan Fathi, whose sons Abdollah and Mohammad were hanged by the regime on May 17, wrote to Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary General, saying, “The hanging was so swift that it leaves no doubt that the country’s judicial and security officials wanted to use it to score political and security points and continue to instill an atmosphere of fear and terror in order to implement their goals.”
Mr. Fathi added, “In view of the atmosphere of dictatorship and security in Iran, many families lose their children by hanging under hollow pretexts, and sadly there has been no legal action taken so far. Many of them are fearful and under enormous pressures and so they do not dare to defend themselves or reveal the crimes.”
He added, “In light of the incidents that occurred after the hanging of my children and their burial, and the fact that my wife was summoned [by the regime], and the officials threatened and arrested some people, my family’s life is in danger.”
