Stop Child Executions is happy to report that human rights lawyer Mohammad Mostafaei who represents dozens of Iranian childre on death row is safe in Turkey.

Mr. Mosfaei was smuggled into Turkey and was detained in a Turkish prison. Human Rights Activists around the world are trying to help him. UNHCR is cooperating in providing asylum.

Mohammad Mostafaei’s Family Arrested, No News on Mostafaei
 July 25, 2010 Deutsche Übersetzung auf Julias Blog lesen
Translation by SIAVOSH JALILI

Committee of Human Rights Reporters: Fereshteh Halimi, Mohammad Mostafaei’s wife, along with her brother Farhad Halimi were detained last night around 11:00pm. There is also no news on *Mohammad Mostafaei, lawyer and human rights activist.

According to sources, on July 23, 2010, Mostafaei was summoned to Evin prison’s Court Branch and was interrogated for four hours.

Later on in the evening, security agents went to Mostafaei’s office with an arrest warrant issued for him. Mr. Mostafaei was not in his office at the time and so they were unable to detain him.

Fereshteh Halimi and Farhad Halimi were arrested near Mr. Mosftafaei’s office and there is no news on their whereabouts.

In the past few days, Mohammad Mostafaei was summoned to the Court Branch located at Evin prison on two different occasions.

Human Rights lawyer Mohammad Mostafaei who represents dozens of cases of juveniles on death row has been given legal notice to report to Evin for questioning within 3 days. He will turn in on Saturday.  Stop Child Executions says we must remain vigilant in case the regime imprisons him or harrasses him for his activities against Iran's human rights abuses. Stay tuned.



What he wrote in his blog yesterday:
امروز در دفتر کارم بودم که مامور ابلاغ احضاریه ای رو به من ابلاغ کرد که روی احضاریه نوشته شده بود جهت پاره ای از توضیحات ظرف سه روز پس از روئیت به شعبه دوم بازپرسی دادسرای شهید مقدس واقع در زندان اوین مراجعه کنم. علت احضار مشخص نیست. و شنبه باید خودم رو به این بازپرسی معرفی کنم. حلالم کنید و خدا بخیر کند انشاالله

"The overwhelming international consensus that the death penalty should not apply to juvenile offenders stems from the recognition that young persons, because of their immaturity, may not fully comprehend the consequences of their actions and should therefore benefit from less severe sanctions than adults. More importantly, it reflects the firm belief that young persons are more susceptible to change, and thus have a greater potential for rehabilitation than adults."


Mary Robinson, former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
