We the undersigned endorse this petition supporting human rights for and condemning the physical or mental torture of political prisoners in all the prisons in Iran.

In April 2007, as an activist spokesperson passionately fighting for the rights of 19 political prisoners, I publicly criticized lack of effort of international committees on his behalf on Fox TV.

Later in Summer of 2007, I came to know a few people from UN and Amnesty who explained their work in simple terms most people would like to hear it.

Most people, including me, agree the UN and Amnesty International don't do much because we seldome see the positive results from our petitions.Unfortunately the Amensty and UN do not have the power to enforce the international laws to which Iran is signatory but chooses to ignore. UN officials in Geneva assure me that they are well aware of the mental and physical torture political prisoners are enduring daily and that Mr. Olson, the UN rapporteur, has make repeated appeals but there is not much that either of the international agencies can do to save Ayatollah Boroujerdi or anyone else in Iran.

UN and Amnesty International officers point out the sad-but-true reality that their hands are tied. They can only remind but cannot force the Iranian regime to abide by their international contract prohibiting torture of dissidents. Amnesty has not been able to visit Iran since 1979 and UN visitations have been denied since 2003. 

I asked UN officers what can be done to save this and other voices who will loose their lives in the next few months.  They answer that the only way seems to be the media and politicians who can sway Iran by denying resources it needs.

Please sign this petition knowing you can sign under a suiter name, and also use your first name only.  Please sing it and also forward this page to your politicians, to your friends in high power and let them know that at least 2 men in Iran are about to loose their lives. 

This petition will only be sent to UN & Amnesty International and your e mail addresses will never become public.

I urge you to help.  Please forward it to your friends and family,and to your connections in high places and ask them to help. Ask your congressman and women, ask your politicians for help.  Because without them, UN and Amnesty can only write actions to remind of the Iranian regime what should they do, but never be able to enforce them of any action.  We need to work together to bring Iranian regime down. We can't do it if we work seperatly.
