According to reports received from Evin prison on the 7th of
April 2016, the agents of Intelligence services, in an inhuman act, placed
poisonous ingredients in Mr. Kazemeini Borojerdi’s food, hence poisoning him,
as a result of which this prisoner experienced severe pains, in particular in
his legs, and his eyesight has been severely affected, and currently the
situation of his health is considered to be critical.
This is while having served 440 days in individual cells, and
3370 days of imprisonment in the medieval type prisons of the Velayat e-Faqih
(Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist), the 11 years of sentencing for this
prominent religious leader, as a prisoner of conscience has come to end, and he
should have been released in April 2016.
Since over twenty five years, this religious leader has been
preaching and teaching theology minus it’s political aspect, and due to his
position in view of separation of politics from religion, and his support for
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, he has endured the most severe
tortures, and has been deprived of medication and treatment during his
imprisonment. In addition, during his term of imprisonment, he has faced
several assassination attempts, endangering his life, and conditioning him
towards a gradual death. Finally, by creating a new case against him and submission
of an order for apostasy at the Special Court for the clergy, he has verbally
been accused of “Heresy and contradiction with the religious interpretations of
the religious leader”, and currently by poisoning him and depriving him from
getting medications and treatment, the regime intends to physically eliminate
this critic of the Islamic regime.
Given these critical circumstances, and considering the
difficult conditions and lack of safety for this religious scholar, we, as the
representative of Mr. Kazemeini Boroujerdi, ask all international Human Rights
organizations, and those with an alert conscience, to apply all their efforts
in view of his liberation.
