Behnam Ebrahimzadeh should not be holds in jail!
Behnam Ebrahimzade (Asad), a worker of a pipe factory and children rights activist, was arrested by officers of the Intelligence Ministry of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while his ribs were broken by them. But he was put in Evin prison instead of hospital.
In response of Behnam ´s family request for his release, the Intelligence Ministry asked a heavy guarantee. Unfortunately family of Behnam could not afford it.
Judiciary Organization of regime, the organization that executes children and adults, stones, blinds eyes, cuts hands and neck off, whips, and has many overt and covert prisons, sentenced Behnam for 20 years imprisonment and determined his crime defending of children rights.
Behnam defended and helped children street. He was opposed to the exploitation of children and prevented to offensive and oppression them. He couldn´t endure prostitution and addiction of children street. He believed that it is inhuman destiny to children working in damp workshops and furnace of making brick instead of having a standard life, studying in school and playing. He requested to people who believe in freedom to help him in this way.
Behnam, the great friend of children should not be in prison. He should immediately be released. Thousands of derelict children need his help, his affection.
The Islamic Republic of Iran tries to hide its catastrophic and systematic situation of children and child abuse by putting pressure on children rights activists. The regime arrested Behnam for defending of hundreds children who are involved the poverty that regime imposed on them.
What you see as below is the message of Behnam occasion to 12 June the day against child labor that published last year. Behnam proceeded defending of children even in prison:
Occasion to 12 June the day against child labor
We live in a world every day that leaders of governor give notice about great advances in science, technology and industry and always bring them enormous profits. But the number of children living in poverty are still over a billion people. The world is full of goods and wealth that is the result of work of majority, but only a few is exclusive. The world is alienated with humanity, because according to stats, per second a child dies just why lack of food and facilities. In the absence that children suffer inequality, adversity and discrimination, and thousands of children are forced to work because of increasing their family poverty, the more worrying factor is no monitoring on exploitation of children, cheap price and concealment of their work. We live in a world that thousands of shelter less children and children street spend whole night on packing cartoons. Many children have been imprisoned because of criminal offense and finally have been executed after spending years in prison. There are children who are constantly subjected to torture and humiliation. These children have committed no crime but there are victims of circumstances. All facts, stats and reports confirmed the bad and unavoidable reality. No one should be silent about this situation. We have asked that children should have all human and social rights without any constraints of gender, racial and cultural.
Behnam Ebrahimzadeh, June 2010
