Bloggers Against the Death Penalty call to save the life of Mohammad Amin Valian

20 year old Mohammad Amin Valian was arrested on January 12, 2010 in Damghan (a city in the province of Semnan) after he published an article in a student newspaper at the University of Damghan. He was not allowed visitation or access to a legal representative. He was taken to the court directly from the solitary confinement section of the Revolutionary Guard’s prison.

The death penalty is based on a photo of Mohammad Amin Valian, taken on the day of Ashura. He was given false information and has been under much mental and physical pressure. According to ISNA, Valian said in court, “When I was in prison, I watched the trial of the reformist leaders on television!”

Execution is a regime crime

Bloggers Against the Death Penalty (BADP) call on the international community to pressure the Iranian government to reverse the unjust penalties that are given to students and other innocent people, aimed to terrorize Iranians and prevent them from participating in protests.

We are urging members of the UN High Commission of Human Rights to use all their power to save Mohammad Amin Valian’s life. We ask that the countries all around the world suspend all relations with the Iranian government until Iran stops the executions. We demand that Iran’s dossier of severe abuse of human rights be referred to the UN security council as soon as possible. We call on bloggers around the world to raise their voices to save the life of Mohammad Amin Valian and all other political prisoners in Iran.
