Eight
supporters of Mr. Boroujerdi were
summoned via phone to the Special
Court for Clergy. According to the report of "Human Rights and Democracy in
Iran", in addition of the above telephonic summons, Special Court for Clergy has contacted their
sponsors and threatened them with forfeiture of their financial bonds and
collaterals and enforce the payments of guarantees made by the sponsor as the
original condition of their release in the event that the eight summoned
individuals fail to appear in court of the specified dates.
Notably, since November 2010, the
government and the intelligence and security ministry of Iran have increased
pressures, threats and harassment of Mr. Boroujerdi. Likewise, the supporters
of Mr. Boroujerdi are also in fear for their lives. On various occasions the
regime of Velayat-e Faqih has used inhumane methods to assassinate this secular
cleric and supreme leader while in prison.
Recently, a few days before the
Iranian New Year in March 2012, the regime attempted to assassinate Mr.
Boroujerdi in prison by poisoning him. As a result, he is still suffering from
internal chronic internal bleeding. Despite his family’s repeated pleas for
treatment, Mr. Boroujerdi has not been treated nor had he been given leave to
visit his family during the New Year holidays.
