Invitation to participate in the conference on
"Human Right Violation in Iran And The Reaction of The World Community"
proposed by:

Mission for the Establishment of Human Rights in Iran (MEHR IRAN)

To All Human Rights Activists and Organizations:

Two decades of the reign of terror has brought Iran to its political boiling point. The freedom loving people of the world cannot sit idly and watch the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) to imprison, torture, and execute Iranian women and men as a response to their cry for democracy.

Mission for Establishment of Human Rights in Iran (MEHR), an active member of the ICC Alliance in Southern California, is a volunteer organization with no ties, affiliation or financial support from any political organization. Its sole objective is to address the steady and systematic violations of Human Rights in Iran and a plea to the world community for bringing to justice those elements of the Islamic republic who have committed violent crimes against the people of Iran. Such accounts of murder, torture and imprisonment have all been well documented and made public by the United Nations and other Human Rights organizations repeatedly over the past twenty years. It is so sad that in the dawn of the new century, such religious dictatorship, with the most relentless and inexorable behavior towards the world and its own peaceful people, is acknowledged by the free world as a government worthy of communication and trade, with absolutely no demand or requirement for its adherence and observation of International law and human rights within its borders and abroad.

We believe that the Islamic Republic must stop the oppression of its own before any meaningful and sustainable relations with it are considered.

We wish to bring focus and attention to the status of Human Rights in Iran by raising the awareness of both the political and business community on the realities and complexities of the resumption of relations with The Islamic Republic under current Human Rights conditions in Iran and explore applicable avenues under international law for bringing to justice those who have committed crimes against humanity in Iran. The possible avenues for a case study about Iran will be:

As a first step toward our objective, we are extending this invitation to human right activists and organization to join a collaborative effort in the form of a international symposium addressing the status of Human Rights in Iran and its impact on long term economic security in any prospective resumption of relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as to explore applicable international laws and avenues for bringing to justice those who have committed crimes against humanity in Iran. The symposium will be in Los Angeles on May 20, 2000.

The attached documents describe the proposed conference in more details. We will be delighted to receive your suggestions and comments.

To express your interest in this collaborative effort in organizing the proposed symposium, please complete the following brief questionnaire and return it to us at your earliest convenience. We very much appreciate your interest and look forward to your active participation and support.

With our best regards,

Mohammad Parvin
