APPEAL FOR URGENT STEPS TO STOP THE STUDENT KIDNAPING IN IRAN
The Honorable Kofi Annan:
I am gravely concerned about news coming from Iran reports that several students including a student leader, Mr. Manouchehr Mohammadi, Secretary General of the National Association of Iranian Students and Alumni, have been kidnapped from the Tehran University and their whereabouts unknown.
The students were protesting lack of freedom in Iran and for the immediate release of Hojatoleslam Mohsen Kadivar, an Islamic Scholar sentenced to 18 months in prison as well as Mr. Abbas Amir Entezam, longest held political prisoner of the Islamic Republic. This peaceful rally was attacked by thugs. More than 160 people have been seriously injured.
I would like to express my deep concern about the human rights violation in Iran. I beleive that based on the horrible history of human right abuse by Islamic Republic of Iran in the last last 20 years and regarding the recent kidnapping and killing of many Iranian dissidents, the life of these students are at great risk. Therefore, I urge you to seek International pressure on the Iranian government to stop human rights abuse and release those it has arrested.
Respectfully,
