Press Release
Kurdish Journalist Mr. Adnan Hassanpour, and Kurdish activist Mr. Hiwa Butimar have been Sentenced To Death In Iran
On July 17th 2007 two Kurdish Journalists and social activists have been sentenced to death for their work with Kurdish human rights and Kurdish media.
The trial has been accompanied by unconfirmed suggestions in the Iranian media that the two men journalist Adnan Hassanpour and social activist Hiwa Butimar were working with “banned Iranian-Kurdish groups” that oppose the Islamic government.
Mr. Hassanpour’s lawyers, Dr. Saleh Nikbakhat, who was not allowed in the Islamic Revolutionary Court, told the media that he would appeal their death sentences.
Mr. Hassanpour was arrested in January 25th 2007 in front of his home in his hometown, Marivan, in Province of Kurdistan of Iran. Then he was taken to a detention facility run by the Ministry of Intelligence in the provincial capital, Sannandaj, where he has had been held incommunicado, which has put him at risk of torture or ill treatment. Since he has been taken to Sannandaj on Feb. 2007, he was not allowed to have access to a defending lawyer or his family.
Mr. Adnan Hassanpour is a former member of the editorial board of the Kurdish-Persian weekly journal Aso, which the Iranian authorities closed down in his journal on August 2005. His Journal has been suspended on the orders of the Culture and Islamic Orientation Ministry, because it carried articles about the very tense situation in Iranian Kurdistan.
The Islamic Regime of Iran continues to imprison the most number of journalists and human rights activists in the world. The situations of journalists in the Kurdish part of Iran have become worse and worse.
We believe that the execution sentence against Mr. Hassanpour and Mr. Boutimar is in contravention of the human rights convention and also is against all humankind. We strongly condemn their detention and trial at the hands of Iranian authorities.
We urgently ask all human rights defenders and pro- democracy people around the world to force the Islamic republic of Iran to stop execution, torturer, and imprisonment, toward Kurdish and non Kurdish Human rights defenders, and journalist, in Iran.

| 96 | Roxie Howard | One must confront such barbaric behavior and not run hide from it. Calling on Iran to free these men would be to say, "we see what you are doing and we do not approve." |
| 97 | Michael Chamberlain | |
| 98 | Ron Slim | I think it's against national and international laws to take a person's life for what he/she believes in.
I am against the execution sentence of these two journalists and I demand their release immediately. |
