A/HRC/4/33/Add.1 Page 110 Para 87. Country Date 22/02/06 Type JUA Mandate SUMX; TOR; Allegations transmitted Government Response Four members of the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI) sentenced to death after having been allegedly tortured in pre-trial detention. One of the men, Mr Hojjat Zamani, (subject of two earlier communications E/CN.4/2005/62/Add.1, para. 844 and E/CN.4/2006/6/Add.1, para. 104) was recently executed, while the other three, Messrs. Valiallah Feyz Mahdavi, Saeed Masuri, and Gholamhossein Kalbi, are at imminent risk of execution. Hojjat Zamani, aged 30, was most recently detained in Ghordasht prison in Karaj. Intelligence agents removed Hojjat Zamani from his ward on 6 February 2006. He was hanged the following morning at Ghordasht Prison. He was sentenced to death following a trial in which his right to effective counsel was denied, in particular because judicial officials did not cooperate with his appointed lawyer. Also, he was tortured in Evin Prison in order to force him to confess to the national security-related offences he was convicted of. Valiallah Feyz Mahdavi, Saeed Masuri, and Gholamhossein Kalbi are members of the People’s Mojahedin of Iran sentenced to death on national security related charges. They are the Supreme Court for final decision. Should the Supreme Court endorse the verdict, the case will be referred to an ad hoc commission of reconciliation to acquire the consent of the victim’s heirs to commute the verdict to financial compensation. This is a lengthy process, therefore the legal process is not yet completed and the verdict stays for the time being. By letter dated 15/03/06, the Government reported that Hojjat Zamani, who was charged with bombing property of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, which killed three persons and injured 22, possession of illegal weapons, terrorist activities, escaping from prison and illegal departure from the country, was sentenced to execution. The verdict was upheld by the Supreme Court, and was carried out in the presence of the victim’s families. Feyz Mahdavi was charged with measures against the internal security of the State and sentenced to execution. He has not appealed the verdict and therefore it was upheld by the Supreme Court. However, the sentence has not been carried out because consideration for his amnesty is pending. Saeed Masuri and Gholamhossein Kalbi have been charged with measures against the internal security of the State and possesion of illegal weapons, among other things. They have been sentenced to execution, but the verdicts have been stayed pending consideration of amnesties. Esmaeil Mohammadi was charged with terrorist
