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
