Ayatollah Boroujerdi's message on the occasion of Muharram month Seeking justice and standing against oppression

Muharram (month of mourning for Imam Hosein) is the reminder of the darkness of oppression. Hosein (the third leader of Shiites) is the symbol of innocence and deprivation resulting from religious despotism. Yazid (Imam Hosein killer) is the manifestation of dictatorship. When justice is buried in despotic palaces of time, some blood will be shed in the stream of history unfairly.

Now the event of Ashura (the day which Imam Hosein is martyred) is repeating and in each age there are some persons who act like Yazid and also some persons who follow Imam Hosein and act like him. When ever we say that" we wish we would be along with you (Imam Hosein) and help you in the Ashura battlefield" (it's a part of a prayer of Shiites in the time of mourning for Imam Hosein), Ashura day is remembered and imploration of the pioneer of peace and freedom (Imam Hosein) in battlefield invites us to resistant against dictators and oppressors in every age. Now prison is the pit of murder field .the prisoner by human rights violators and also the chains in my ankle and wrist are the indicator of repeating of history and these are a real description of Karbala (means the event of killing Imam Hosein).

I never forget that my grandfather, Imam Hosein said: "one who is like me never comes to an agreement with one who is like Yazid", thus how can I reconcile and put up with a despotic oppressor?!

I invite all to observe justice and brotherhood in the month of mourning for that father who was stripped of his cloths and his head was cut. I ask for revealing human-like oppressors and cruel murderers completely and for helping and sympathizing with all who are under oppression and injustice. I ask kind God to make us the avengers of all oppressed murdered of Iran and to return development and thriving to all over our dear country.

The Statement of Ayatollah Kazemeini Boroujerdi's followers to protest against continuing sealing the office of Human Rights defenders in Iran off

In the name of creator of freedom and kindness

Continuing sealing Human Rights Defenders office off by Iran government that oppresses under the name of religion is counted among bitter and regrettable events during three decades of dark history of Mullah's government in Iran. The suppressor authorities of Iran regime introduced themselves to the world as one of the most important human rights violator and anti- freedom governments by this proceeding. While now if an Iranian chose and follow Christianity will be sentenced to death, Mr. Ahmandinejad send happy message to all Christian in the world on the occasion of the birth of peace and kindness prophet, Jesus Christ! And real face of this cheat regime will be appeared for world's aware conscience more than before in this way.

There is no debate that the great and understanding people of Iran will never forget efforts of lady.Shirin Ebadi and his active and pacifist colleagues for achieving democracy and freedom in Iran. Reminding this matter is important that the so long years activities of this legal organization will be honorable and praiseworthy if we know that this little group used the extent of their power to defend human rights in Iran in a full of suppression, threat and suffocation atmosphere. If the honorable members of Human Right Defenders Club especially lady.Shirin Ebadi as the winner of Noble peace prize, had better and more perfect cooperation with effective opposition group in performing their sacred goals , surely the office of this legal organization couldn't be closed by this non democratic regime of Iran as easy as now. Ayatollah Boroujerdi believes that the secret of success of liberal groups, Human Rights Activists and opposition of Iran is further unity and confederacy for releasing Iran nation, because in his opinion our way is a very difficult, hard and dangerous.

As the followers of pacifist clergy and liberal prisoner, Ayatollah Seyed Hosein Kazemeni Boroujerdi we decry and condemn the shutting down the office of Human Rights Defenders in Iran, moreover we announce our advocacy of continuing the activities of honorable members of this legal organization and we ask for removing   restrictions and limitations. We hereby ask all international Human Rights organizations and institutes to have an effective intervention to condemn human rights violation in Iran.

Ayatollah Boroujerdi's message on the occasion of Hanukkah the religious celebration of Jewry

We celebrate the light (Hanukkah celebration).unique God is the source of all energies and human needs some lights which are come from creator of the world of being, in his life.

  Whatever that prevents from radiating divine lights, will lead to corruption and depravity .monotheism causes unity of world nations. All people in the world are the slaves of great God and there is a strong unity in worshiping the king of the world of being and brotherhood and forgiveness of humans through this unity.   

My opinion about different religions in all over the world is that every religion that takes us to the origin of the world of existence is right and guarantees human perfection.

This dear and great day is a firm guarantee of religiosity and theism that should be as a pattern for all theists. I have always tried to protect credit of God unity and spreading holy beings and I have paid it cost with all my heart and soul.

My activities during my religious propagandas years have been absorbing people to unique God so I have devoted my life to wake consciences and to revive the natural love to lord of the world by using sociology and psychological principle and ways of seeking human nature and it has had a rare and agreeable result as it has made the great public movement in area of theology and spirituality.


 With the hope of releasing of all prisoner clergies from devil sections and also asking for peace and friendship for all God slaves

Ayatollah Boroujerdi's Congratulation Message to all over the world Christians on the threshold of New Year

Hello to the God's soul, Jesus Christ, hello to the mother of the world of being who is trustee of creation secrets , Holy Mary .My everlasting congratulations to dear and kind Christians. With respect to all philanthropic Christians who are peace propagandists. 
This religious leader congratulates all Christian nations and states in all over the world upon this auspicious Christmas from the center of violence and dictatorship means prison.
Human's history will never forget the peaceful, liberating, friendly and seeking justice movement of this noble birthed and life-giving prophet. Jesus teachings whenever and wherever give humans credit and respect.

I have been put in pressure and oppression just because of advocacy of opinion freedoms and spiritual independence and I always believe that unique God is the closest and most powerful friend of human and never sends a religion to suppress oppressed people and never passes a law to limit a society. He never let someone kill others and violate the society rights under the name of God.
Today, what that has caused running away from religion and also has made monotheism light-colored in public conscience (people are not disposed toward monotheism) is the despotism which is done by the name of religion and the dictatorship of clergies in every holy religion that leads to public hatred. My slogan on religions unity and international union of monotheistic religions followers has intensified and increased tortures on me.

In this blessed Christmas, I wish releasing all prisoners of tyrannies and I ask all faithful Christians for massive and complete aid.
With the hope of Jesus promises achievement in global society and having a happy year without any perilous threats.

Dissemination of peaceful thoughts of Ayatollah Boroujerdi in military prison in Yazd

Ayatollah Boroujerdi's peaceful view about different religions including Judaism religion has caused he call Jewish people in all over the world religious brothers of Moslems. Noting that Jewish people are the offspring of prophet Isaac and Moslems are the children of prophet Ishmael and both of those two holy men are Abraham sons so, he believes that every kind of conflict and fight between these two divine religions causes to damage to their origin and separation from their root. He said during an interview in Evin prison: " I confirm each religion that reforms human, takes him away from animal instincts and intensifies his pure feelings. Each religion gets human nature to freedom and justice and takes him away from harshness and wildness is an honorable and good opinion and belief." His intellectual view about other religions is so, that at the present, in military prison in Yazd, he accepts and welcomes those prisoners who believes in Bahai religion and are rejected by other prisoners, warmly. It must be said that as the result of this peaceful view, there is a firm friendship between him and a Bahai countryman called Mehran Bandi in Yazd prison. The only crime of this countryman is propagating Bahai religion and he has been sentenced to 3 years imprisonment.
Ayatollah Boroujerdi in reply to the censure of prison authorities that why he as a Shiite clergy defends a bahai, has said:" the only crime of him is his undertaking to his religion and on this matter he has not trampled other one's freedom and security. He is only a religious propagandist as I am the propagandist of my religion too and I have not violated one's opinion and I have forced no body to accept my religious beliefs. How we can exit and expel an innocent human like him from humanity circle?! In spite of all hardships and disagreeable acts have been done on me, I have friendship whit him eagerly."
Ayatollah Boroujerdi believes that friendship, understanding and unity must be established among all human on the earth as each nation can develop and progress by its way and method .

The Tragic Story of Ayatollah Boroujerd

by DW Duke

15-Dec-2008
It is unfortunate that the western world has such a negative image of people of the Muslim faith. To most Americans and Europeans the notion of Islam embodies an extreme religion of violence and human rights abuses. Yet, we hear it said that Islam is a religion of peace and that the Islamic extremists we see in Iran and other nations where Shariah law is enforced do not represent the true Islamic faith. Many ask “Where are these peaceful Muslim leaders? Why do we never hear about them? Do they really exist?” In fact they do. One such Islamic leader is Ayatollah Sayed Hossein Kazemeyni Boroujerdi who today is held captive in a prison in Yazd in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Ayatollah Sayed Hossein Kazemeyni Boroujerdi is a Shi'a Muslim cleric who supports the freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion in Iran. He believes that the government should not be controlled by religion. Thus, he supports the separation of government from the dominance of Islam. Ayatollah Boroujerdi believes that the repressive government of Iran, which purports to exist under the rules of Islam, is not true Islam at all. According to Ayatollah Boroujerdi true Islam is a religion of tolerance, mercy and compassion which is the opposite of the religion of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Ayatollah Boroujerdi is the son of Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Kazemeini Boroujerdi who died under suspicious circumstances in an Iranian prison in 2002. His father was one of the leading religious leaders of Iran in the Pahlavi government and published over thirty books. He was widely respected in the western world as well as in Iran and he refused to support Ayatollah Khamenei’s efforts to establish the Islamic regime in 1979. As a result of his refusal of support he was persecuted and imprisoned in an Iranian prison where he eventually died.
The younger Ayatollah Boroujerdi became openly critical of human rights abuses of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1994. For over a decade he spoke to his supporters about the need to peacefully promote their views and he is opposed to violence in any form. On October 7, 2006 Ayatollah Boroujerdi was arrested along with many of his supporters who had gathered at his home. Although no crime had been committed, witnesses say that they were incarcerated and subjected to torture in section 209 of Evin Prison.
The government of Iran has not provided any information concerning his prosecution and conviction. In a special clerical court, without representation by legal counsel, Ayatollah Boroujerdi was initially sentenced to death but due to appeals and international pressure, the sentence was changed to eleven years of imprisonment ten of which are to be in exile in Yazd. Ayatollah Boroujerdi was then coerced, under threat of torture, to give a statement in which he was forced to confess to acts he did not commit. This forced confession was televised nationally in Iran in an attempt to humiliate Ayatollah Boroujerdi and others who share his belief in the free exercise of religion and freedom of speech.
Since his incarceration in the Iranian prison Ayatollah Boroujerdi has been brutally tortured resulting in serious injury to his vital organs. He has been repeatedly refused medical treatment by his captors and his family and supporters have also undergone torture. His wife has been brought into his prison cell and forcibly raped in his presence. He and his family have been victims of incomprehensible cruelty at the hands of this tyrannical regime.
Ayatollah Boroujerdi has committed no crime. He is a peaceful man who does not advocate violence nor does he threaten the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran in any way though he supports the separation of religion from government. All he has done is to advocate for the unalienable right of the individual to hold personal religious beliefs and to exercise freedom of speech. For this he has been subjected to imprisonment and torture under continuous threat of execution.
Article 56 of the United Nations Charter requires that all member nations pledge to "take joint and separate action in cooperation with the Organization (UN) for the achievement of the purposes set forth in Article 55." Article 55 includes several paragraphs most notably here "universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion."
Article 18 Section 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, provides that:
“1. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right shall include freedom to have or to adopt a religion or belief of his choice, and freedom, either individually or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in worship, observance, practice and teaching.”
Article 19, Sections 1 and 2 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights provide that:
“1. Everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference.
2. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice.”
Article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights provides in pertinent part:
“No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” Ayatollah Boroujerdi has been denied his rights under each of the above referenced Articles and sections of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. He has been arrested held in confinement and tortured because of his beliefs and for expressing his views on political matters.
On September 24, 2007 Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke in the United States at Columbia University. In response to the introduction from Columbia University President Lee Bollinger, President Ahmadinejad said the following:
“I think the text read by the dear gentleman here, more than addressing me, was an insult to information and the knowledge of the audience here, present here. In a university environment we must allow people to speak their mind, to allow everyone to talk so that the truth is eventually revealed by all."
"Certainly he took more than all the time I was allocated to speak, and that's fine with me. We'll just leave that to add up with the claims of respect for freedom and the freedom of speech that's given to us in this country.”
In his words, which have been communicated to billions of people throughout the world, President Ahmadinejad expressed his belief in the freedom of speech and the right of people to “speak their mind.” Yet, within the nation of Iran people are arrested and tortured for “speaking their mind.”
Now the world is watching to see if Iran will live up to the high standard set by these words of the President Ahmadinejad. Will Iran release Ayatollah Sayed Hossein Kazemeyni Boroujerdi, who has done nothing more than exercise his right to “speak his mind,” as President Ahmadinejad said, so that “truth is eventually revealed by all.”What can you do to help free Ayatollah Boroujerdi? If you would like to show your support of this victim of the Iranian terror machine, you may sign the petition at
http://www.petitiononline.com/Maat2/petition.html
The United Nations has been requested to investigate this case and to assure that Ayatollah Boroujerdi is provided the needed medical attention. If we join efforts to support the release of Ayatollah Boroujerdi, the leaders of Iran will take note. While it may seem a futile effort, it is important to bear in mind that Iran seeks to become a member of the international community. The embarrassment brought about by these abuses when publicized will ultimately compel the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran to release this honorable man and his supporters.

The massage of Ayatollah Kazemeini Boroujerdi inside Yazd prison, on the occasion of 60th anniversary of universal declaration of Human Rights

Greeting to all oppressed people in the world. I praise God who never established a law to torment and annoy human. I respect all defenders of peace, justice and freedom.
I speak to civilized world inside a hell where justice , spirituality ,conscience , divine generosity , forgiveness and peacefulness are violated and the demand of people who ask for justice and freedom is ignored.
Indeed, does oppressed human have some rights which must be observed by governors of countries?! Isn't having an independent life the first right that the great God has given to Human? Will a person be taken to prison if justice is observed? Are people slaves of oppressive and dictatorship governments that must be tortured by despotism and selfishness of them? Once again, I invite the entire world to defend Iranian liberals massively.
Thank you, Seyyed Hosein Kazemeini Boroujerdi – Dec 2008

The statement of Ayatollah Boroujerdi's followers in anniversary of issuing the world Human Rights declaration

We hold the anniversary of issuing the Human Rights declaration dear while there is continued human rights violation in all over the world in the same way. At this juncture, massive human rights violation by dictatorship and religious government of Iran, is a tragedy which its stability and endurance obligates world Human Rights institutes and organizations to pay special attention to Iranian people's suppressed rights and help this oppressed nation to get primary human rights .current Human Rights conditions in Iran is below dignity of the nation who is heritor of the great Kourosh who is the presenter of the first global charter of Human Rights.
At the viewpoint of Human Rights pathology, one of the most important reasons of its violation in Iran is the mixture of religion and state and its result is a wretched society which fear , stress ,killing , ravage ,detention ,torture and annihilating the positive human , social and moral criterions in this society is daily and usual matter and God ,prophets and Imams have been put in charge seat. At global level also we witness tacking part baseless wars and conflicts and increasing violation and modern savagery in governmental apartheid and terrorism forms which has caused present human needs returning to moral and human criterions more then before.
When whole numbers of human specially world governors and leaders are faithful to moral and human criterions and frameworks, we will witness vigilance and conscience sovereignty in human societies and also increasing the observing the human rights .
The followers of liberal and pacific clergy, Ayatollah Kazemeini Boroujerdi, meanwhile express their sympathizing with all oppressed and suffered humans in the world, ask for releasing all opinion and political prisoners and freedom of press, speech, religion and women and also proclaim their support and favor toward all liberals and reformists of current age until the time of removing some words like: hursness, suppression and prison from current world culture.

The intensity of Iran regime machination against Ayatollah Kazemeini Boroujerdi

Following the protesting gathering of the family and relatives of Ayatollah Boroujerdi in front of the United Nations Office in Tehran which was formed because of inattention of government and special court of clergy authorities to physical state of this liberal clergyman, a new threat and harshness wave has been intensified against his family.
According to received reports; his family who was going to Yazd to visit him, was attacked along the road by a forged clash as some of them became injured. This machination has been formed subsequent to threaten his family during some last days.
The persons who are informed on the reasons of these actions which are followed coincident with using massive limitation inside of military prison in Yazd against Ayatollah Kazemaini Boroujerdi, believe that since all plots of the regime against this clergy who are follower of the separation of religion from state, containing: forcing him to accept on of these three cases" silent , agreement and or capitation" , have been ineffective as yet , the regime tries to break off his communication with foreign world completely and annihilate and clear his name and memory in world news media .

A short report about the latest state of Ayatollah Boroujerdi in Yazd prison

Human Rights activists in Iran
After passing more than 10 days from exiling Ayatollah Boroujerdi to prison in Yazd, the way of his detention and circumferential situation in prison have caused the physical state of this opinion prisoner becomes grave.
The prison authorities' efforts in order to uncommonly cut and limit Ayatollah Boroujerdi's phone calls to out of prison have increased concerns as his weekly visit has been changed to once every 45 days and his daily and unlimited calls to 15 minutes per day (before he can call several times a day) of course, now it's 2 days that his 15 minutes calls has been cut and stopped. The limitations are so that even the prison stores are the only source to provide phone card for prisoners, avoid giving them card.Also, it has been reported that the high authorities come and go to prison repeatedly and the prison authorities show them Mr.Boroujerdi ridiculously. Mr. Boroujerdi protests against this action and calls it contrary to moral and human principles. It's necessary to say that he is spending his 10-year-conviction in military prison in Yazd as exile.

An interview with Ayatollah Boroujerdi in Evin prison about different matters of the world

This interview was done in the beginning of 1387and in clergy section of Evin prison by a political prisoner from Karaj called Ahmad Najafi Mojtahedi who had been condemned on the charge of publishing a book against Khamenei. This interview has been brought to your ears :

1- Do you call this government ( Iran regime ) legal ?
No, because it was established base on cheating Iran nation and formed by false and unreal promises, then was continued by the obvious breach of its establisher's commitments. Its majors such as: independence, freedom, republication and Islam were never fulfilled and about its minors which were giving national properties to nation ,were fulfilled contrary to their promises and now Iranian people while have the most national and natural wealth, are the most helpless and poorest nation in the world .Economic calculations in governmental incomes and expenses are completely secret and if it is said the majority of people were asking for Islamic regime in 30 years ago ,but now the majority of them are asking for irreligious regime and this world will be proved by a referendum under inspection of the United Nations or by a public and open gathering formed by watch and support of legal and human societies of the world .

2- Do you expect the great governments to help?
The power must be balance between Iran nation and government to people of this country who are owners and inheritors of this country get their legal and incontrovertible rights. Now there is unjust and unequal domination of political regime of Iran on oppressed and miserable people of this country which freedom negation, independence annihilation, lacking of calm and finishing of the finance, credit and life ability of these noble people are its results.

3- please explain the rights and limits of women:
Woman is the partner of man in administrating the life affairs .women have the same position in creation that men has reached and each law violates their personality and credit integrity is worthless .All judgments which lead to humiliating and regressing women are the Human Rights violators. Every kind of limit and restriction which cause reduction in their success and enjoyment of life is unrespectable and unenforceable. Scientific and social fields must not cause limitation and strait for them.

4- How do you analyze the conflict between Palestine and Israel?
Bani Israel is one of the most ancient tribe in Middle East which its evidences and documents are in holy books. Since a long time ago, Arab and Hebrew races which have one root, lived together peacefully in all regions of Shamat that contains: Palestine, Jordan, Hejaz, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, they traded, exchanged and treated friendly together. It must not be forgotten that all the inhabitants of these states are holy Abraham's children so, every kind of flight and conflict, causes to damage to their origin and separation from their root. Friendship, understanding and unity must be established among all humans in the world as each nation can progress and improve by its method and way. Every kind of war and bloodshed under any title and reason damages human spirit.

5- what's your opinion about other religions in the world?
I confirm each religion that reforms human, takes him away from animal instincts and intensifies his pure feelings. Each religion gets human nature to freedom and justice and takes him away from harshness and wildness is a honorable and good opinion and belief, the religion which prevents from war, flight, violence and despotism is my favor and mean and I don't think that the kind and gracious God I know, sends a prophet to torture society or orders to torture in his book. Spiritual beliefs are away from violation of society.

6- what kind of political regime or government do you want in Iran?
A government that prefers the republicanism to all things. The system which is administrated by all people and nation representatives with every thought and culture play active and physical role in country administration. Its authorities are real servants of society, not cheat people by slogan, The authorities who call Iranian people the owners of country and all wealth of country .the system which respects each thought, prison isn't its supporter, leaves suppressing people, accepts civil freedoms, follows national interests , avoids inquiring thoughts, guards Iranians credit and prestige, avoid enactment of the laws and orders which bring misery ,disgrace and humiliation for people, makes Iran as there is no poor and no tenant, diseases are reduce, disappointment and depression are annihilated and despair and divorce are not seen.

7- Do you believe improving the military equipments and forces is advisable for country?
There is always a higher power than each power ( it's a Persian proverb )
Whatever we increase our missile reserves and equipments, again there are another power has more advanced equipments and industry and we have to increase expenses to remove and solve this deficiency we continue increasing the expenses until we think our interest is that leave every things and continue and consider only this matter, in other word, we sacrificed all interests and profits for defensive aspects so, we get to a point that we have not water , not electricity , not gasoline , not gas ,not agriculture and not industry! We have leaved all things in order to get military independence which is endless and has not any end. Why are the people of this country the poorest nation, today? Because all they have are spent in cause of nuclear energy and attracting regional and international supports and justifying that it (nuclear matter) is peaceful! Moreover completing the military projects causes to society fear, economic falling, profits losing, increase in inflation and also increases spiritual, social and guilds insecurity and there is always conflict and engagement in country.

Ayatollah Boroujerdi's letter to public opinions, before his exile

In the name of the great God who is the creator and guard of peace
Greeting to world peacemakers, I respect to the persons who devoted their valuable life for reforms and also I esteem and reverence the victims of violence and crime, I kiss the lips which express human rights, inside of my cell.
Accept my greeting from my painful cell in Evin prison located in north of Tehran, the capital of Iran. I am spending hard days. Helping peace and cooperation with liberals and Human Rights defenders are all my delights. Only my God is informed on what hardships I have suffered and how I have spent my life during 14 years servicing peace and liberalism. I have hated oppression since I was child, combating against despotism has always been my aim. I could never be silent against oppression of governors and close my eyes against discrimination and freedom violation, I could never ignore complaints of helpless and homeless humans. I have always been eager for justice and always combated dictators .I worship the God has not sent prophets for fury and harshness and doesn't issue an order which causes fear and horror. I accept the religion which is gracious and doesn't let religious authorities act despotically .I believe justice is the spirit of society, when human spirit becomes disturbed; insecurity covers and surrounds entire the earth. I call freedom body of society, in the case of one's freedom deprival, his body will be ruined .I believe attention to human rights is the most important vital services. Human needs freedom for releasing from every kind of bondage. One who tries to annihilate or restrict freedom by planning every kind of laws, in fact has committed treason against humanity and must be discharged from his seat. I believe peace is more essential than rain for people of the earth; because we can cure life which has no water by being kind to others. I believe common injustices in countries are more indecent than starvation for human kind because in anger of nature humans help each other and reduce the results of the disaster in this way, but in violation of nature and certain rights of human, there is no power and no permission for collective protests and the ability of people for demanding their rights become suppressed .I call the past history disgraceful in respect to human rights violation, because governors spend nations life and disturb the relief of people for their(governors') expansionism, they kill oppressed people for their ambitions, they annihilate generations to reach their animal and inhuman instincts. I call the world wars which occurred during current century oppression to selected creature of God and the black results of these crimes as a blot on conscienceless and the away from God politicians' escutcheon. I never believe the religion which calls oppression, belief inquiring and deprival of thought freedom legal for its progress. I call human the superior of the creatures and the divine selected in the world of being and believe every kinds of violation to his identity, existence and ownership are against God will. People are the real owners of the governments and the states and governments are their servants. Every governor has intention to exploit human is astray and doesn’t have governmental incumbencies right. Colonialist in every position and seat who has intention to plunder the humanity, in fact has announced the war against all humans, there is no difference in races, colors and nations in the world and humans are partners and sharer in all are reached from the earth .Existence of hungry in the world disgraces the wealthy persons in history and is registered as their cruelty and lacking of conscience. All people in the world must enjoy the natural sources and products. Expansionism and avarice is the sign of lacking of the contentment, prudence and balance and causes enmities and aversions and threaten poor and innocent people to bloodshed so we must abstain from every tool and instrument provides situation for wars and conflicts. Conflict and enmity are the first step of war, so we must establish kindness and friendliness communication among nations and religions and establish international relations base on favorable opinion, increasing the fraternization and refusal of geographical, human and minorities prejudice.
I am a peace preacher and offered my youth age to God because of peace. As a liberal who has paid heavy penalty and devoted his family and life for a long years because of reverence for freedom, I 'm asking for democracy in all over the world. In my opinion there is no difference among different holy and divine religions; every religion which takes us to God brings happiness. I believe massacre weapons are contradictory with human interests and nuclear bombs are the factor of human annihilation and also I believe competition for producing, increasing and selling the weapon is opposition to environmental cleanness and health and I condemn every things disturb human relief .The culture must be established as there is no need to prison. The governments must not establish the law which gives people trouble. Taxes, tolls and penalties must be moderated and people ability to pay must be considered .I respect all Human Rights servers, from Iran and I embrace peace propagandists warmly. How can the state of oppressed and miserable human be ignored while there are councils and institutes which protect animals' life and consider and control the way of human treat to them?
I had been invited and recommend to going out of my country many years ago, but I didn't accept to leave people and I accepted all risks and dangers with all my heart and soul just because of sympathizing with my countrymen and their need to defense of their legal and rational rights and now I am in the worst security, family and psychological situation and International societies are informed on my state. Notwithstanding these hardships, I tolerate prison, exile, torture and pressure to prove my aims in defense and support of human rights and greatness and importance of peacefulness. I call God and history to witness that I have abstained from oppressing since the beginning of my life, I have loved to help poor and deprived people and I never abuse my popularity and important and high social positions. When armed governmental forces raided my house, I invited everyone to capitulate and refused to confront with invasion caused to bloodshed. Now I call my self a peace devotee, freedom preacher and a Human Rights defender and ask decision centers on this matter to help me to further my sacred aims and give me immunity is proportionate to this responsibility.

Transferring Ayatollah broujerdi's to prison in Yazd

A machination for deviating public thought and killing Ayatollah Boroujerdi

After spreading the news on hitting and transferring anti-Velayat Faqih clergy, Ayatollah Seyed Hosein Kazemeini Boroujerdi, from special section of clergy in Evin prison to an unknown point by officers of prison special guard and also of special court of clergy, his family started massive efforts in order to get information on Ayatollah Boroujerdi's state, but unfortunately it has had no results and there is no exact news on the state of this militant clergy.
Ayatollah Boroujerdi's family called prison as soon as they were informed on his transferring to out of prison and asked related authorities for an obvious explain and reason on this news ,but prison authorities announced they won't answer their call at all and they have to come to prison and follow up the matter. Ayatollah Boroujerdi's family couldn't get any information about Ayatollah Boroujeri, in spite of their repeated goings to Evin prison and hard following up and this matter led to the rumor of his killing become stronger. The prison authorities announced in reply to repeated referring and following up of Ayatollah Boroujerdi's family that they won't answer the questions on this subject because of security matters!!
The received reports indicate that the authorities of Iran dictatorship regime have sought to cheat public thoughts by blowing the rumor of Ayatollah boroujerdi's transferring to Yazd prison. In fact they plan to kill Ayatollah Boroujerdi during transferring to Yazd. As yet the news of his transferring to the prison in Yazd has not been confirmed and he has been transferred to an unknown place. Such as these machinations remind us on chain-murder and physical deleting of intelligentsia and geniuses in reform period which religious regime of Iran planned to send the bass which intelligentsia were in, in to canyon by forged action, but they didn't success in performing their plan.
Ayatollah Boroujerdi's family has expressed it's concern on unknown situation of this liberal clergyman. While his family calls him a prisoner just for opinion, ask for practical commitment of Islamic Republic authorities to act according to Human Rights statement and respect freedom of speech, press and opinion.
Ayatollah Boroujerdi's family and followers in addition to express their regret for massive Human Rights violation in Iran, ask for releasing Ayatollah Kazemeini Boroujerdi and all prisoners for opinion and state in Iran immediately.
Long live homeland
Cheer to freedom

The letter of prisoners are Ayatollah Boroujerdi's followers to Human Rights societies in all over the world

Human Rights activists in Iran

We are five opinion prisoners who had gathered along with hundreds of other people in the house of Ayatollah Seyed Hossein Kazemeini Boroujerdi,the Iranian anti-dictatorship clergy, to prevent from his illegal detention ,26 months ago( Mehr 1385, Oct 2006). Unfortunately we were wildly attacked and arrested by governmental security forces, police and governmental factors in personal cloths (not wear uniform). During first months we were put under various tortures, severe investigations and imposed confessions in 240 and 209 sections of Evin prison. Thereafter we have been in prison about one year. unfortunately Special court of Clergy set our indictment based on accusations which were perfectly opposed to our previous background and social personalities such as defiance, action against national security, sabotage in public order, spreading felicities, involvement with police forces, taking part in illegal gatherings, communicating with foreign countries, spying, etc. there were no opportunity to defend ourselves in closed court sections were held without independent lawyer. At first we were condemned to severe punishments and long imprisonments, eventually our verdicts decreased to 2years chastisement imprisonment during several steps. All verdicts notifications and summons were oral.
Factually, our crime is just supporting a religious and popular leader regarding his ideas on separation religion from state, deletion of discrimination and also freedom of speech, belief and choosing religious freely by everyone that he obviously mentioned in his speeches, interviews and his correspondences, as well.
He called religious government in the age of not being prophets as religious dictatorship and ideological exploitation.
However, we were witnesses of the reality that this popular clergy was put under various attacks, tortures and hostile rumors just because of supporting God prestige and demanding deprived Iranian people from their rights. Not only he lost and devotes all his life during 17 years of fighting with dictator, but also he did not accept the triangle of
"adaptation to the brutal dictator, silence and escaping from country "and in fact he was supporter of oppressed people.
We hereby by repeated sympathy toward all victims of freedom of speech and belief, request from all real and juridical personages who are worried about liberal men in chains to follow up this case as soon as possible.

The letter of Ayatollah Boroujerdi to the members of Religious dialogue conference

Honorable chairman, esteemed members, dear audiences
The greeting of kind God to you who are the divine justice messengers, in the name of God who is forgiving and gracious
I am a popular clergy, spiritual lover and religious preacher who have strived to draw people near to dear God for 35 years and have led many persons who didn't believe in holy religious law to Holy beliefs and devoted my rare youth in cause of this and have a lot of lasting services in Unitarians society and all my fathers were religious leaders in Iran and Iraq and were famous in religious, scientific and moral history. Now that I'm speaking to you, I leave message for you from inside of the chains of the prison which its owners claim that obey the religion and its authority's torture people by the name of world God and they are proud of their religious methods which let them kill poor protestors.
Dear believers;
The crime of this religious leader who has been tortured for years by persons who pretend that are asking for Islam, is opposition to mixing religion and politics that I know it as an unforgivable sin. also my father who was one of the greatest clergies of the capital, was killed 7 years ago by terrorists who claim that obey the religion because of his opposition to political Islam and his protest against governmental religion, and recently they destroyed his grave which was located in his mosque and was honorable and sacred for people, and made a intimidation and terrible atmosphere in that region.
Dear colleagues;
Since political regime has been established in Iran under the name of religion, public dislike for religion has increased and being society away from theology and the religious laws is becoming more and this is the disaster that most of Shiite clergies have always avoided it during 1400 years and never accepted to attend in religious-political meetings. I as a prisoner leader have shouted the call of peacefulness, liberalism and justice for commiserating with prophets who didn't have any aim except joining people to their God, and I tried to reconcile persons were away from God to the origin of the world being by slogan of religions unity and nearness and my thought and practical report card is full of cases that devil worshipers returned toward the generous God by my guidance and various and different gatherings of people in my prayer meeting show my occupational truth and heartiness .
Respectable preachers;
The pervious records of governmental religion and religious states have showed the social decline and have never offered an acceptable, legal and beloved result to human calendar and have not left a beautiful and glorious recollection that of the most important results of them there were the church dominance in Europe and Ottoman Empire in Islamic regions which both of them were the factors of discouragement to religion and the shame of theism and this is the monotheistic tragedy which has appeared in Iran and the number of persons who are away from God and opposed to religion is increasing day by day and this is the natural right of this people because they had an admirable past in religious literature but governmental authorities have imposed poverty ,misery and helplessness to them for 30 years by the name of religion and this matter has caused lassitude in natural beliefs of people. the state of religion in Iran is pitiful and regrettable ,every kind of crime,oppressen and suffocation are done by the name of Islam , thought freedom and opinion independence have been annihilated and belief inquiring is dominated on press and also strict censorship is dominated on mass media and prisons are full of young people who don't want to be under the pressures of religious fogies and there are lot of women who have been violated and been deprived of their primary rights and have got a bad view on religious and sacred laws
Your responsibility necessitates helping us and performing the defense duty of monotheistic integrity.
The best regard

Ayatollah Boroujerdi's farewell before exile

According to the statement of Ayatollah Boroujerdi's family; the authorities of special court of clergy announced in an oral notice: Mr. Boroujerdi will be exiled to prison in Yazd city during next days because he didn't agree to have a TV interview. Ayatollah Boroujerdi insisted on his demands and wishes once more again by a short acoustic message:
Greeting to justice, peace and freedom, greeting to Human Rights defenders, in the name of God the beneficent the merciful, in remembrance of dear country and oppressed nation of Iran.
I announce my thought and practical demands once more again before transferring to Yazd prison from the capital prison, to register in eternal pages of the world history in order to remove all doubts and hesitations in the minds of just world nations.
I as a universal clergy with world thoughts and 35 years services in preaching , Imamate and writing activities ,devoted my youth ages for divine , human , belief and social services and got an unique popularity among majority of people that caused envy of governmental clergies and anger of oppressor authorities. In religious and spiritual propagation I followed my father who was one of the greatest defenders of traditional religion and devoted his life in cause of theism and help and service to oppressed people and was killed by oppressors pretend that want Islam. I am inheritor of fathers who had been religious leaders in Iran and Iraq and they called the interference of religion in politic disturber of beliefs and called political Islam the reason of going out from" unity of God "belief and now, I express some of blatant and glaring oppositions between governmental religion and apolitical one, to world judges it:
The religion we speak about it, its slogan is "God has provided the easiest way for you in obeying the religious laws -Quran" that religion calls the owner of this sacred law, the close friend who never annoys his creations. The Islam that we want, its flag is this sentence of Quran "God is opposed to any obligation and pressures in accepting religious law" it means your God isn't strict and oppressor on his slaves. We defense religion that its word is "God asks human just according to his ability not more -Quran" and says your God never imposes strict and rough and hard laws on you because he knows "human has been created weak and feeble -Quran", human is sensible and delicate and without resistance, Holy Quran says instead of humans that "our patience and tolerance are finished", so God never issues hard and rough orders like cruel governors because he knows his slave. The religion I have been teaching to society, its shout was "to accept a religion there is no obligation-Quran", and forbade religious despotism. Spiritual things I teach are base on this sentence of holy Quran "prophet; they ask you what should we share with others, tell them: forgiveness", it is a public recommend to kindness and peaceful coexistence. Our way is base on forgiveness and easiness and our reason is "God doesn't want trouble for you in following religious laws -Quran".
Surely, establisher of holy laws doesn't send any prophets or any holy books that make people nerves and poor and put them in economical pressures. Our religious school is this sentence of holy Quran "all of you belong to a big religious family and your father is holy Abraham" that introduces all followers of all religions as a big unity family, and the message of theism teacher ,holy Abraham, is "every one follows my thoughts and ideas is one of my family" that its meaning is unity of all religions and close and inseparable relationship among all followers of all holy religions , so we call every kinds of disturber and negative inciting in unity of theists in all over the world a devil movement.
We believe the mission of our prophet is opposed to every kind of despotism and belief inquiring and harshness because he said "the philosophy of my mission is spreading and elevating morals -Quran". We believe all people are God's family according to this Quran sentence "all people in world are like family of God -Quran). When holy creator calls all creations as his family, no governor and no legislative has permission to oppress on people and destroy their freedom and independence. God says in holy Quran "peace brings happy and blessing for all", so humans must live in peace. Pugnacity and domination surly have exorbitant expenditures that hurt people who are real owners of country as people will be put in economical pressures in order to advanced weapons be prepared.
We watched irreparable losses of interference of politic in religion during last century:
Ottoman Empire damaged spiritual things and caused thought and cultural transformation in Islamic countries as will never be forgiven in world history. People under dominance of colonists were sentenced to medieval tortures under the name of religious dominion that its results were: criminals and atrocities by the name of religion and birth of Ataturk in Turkish ,also church dominance in Europe led to appearance of communism in world during last centuries, so human history has never had a good past of political religions because religion is a natural subject between God and his creations but politic has no borer and limits and shows appearances in Human life not heart and inner part of life.
This is my demands and wish of all nations in world that don’t lay blame on God and don't call your carnal deeds as holy laws because this action is a big oppression on world architect and makes him angry that it ( the anger of God ) is the reason of starvation, drought, earthquake, sickness , conflict and cruelty.
With the wish of success for all people in world

Honorable torture for political prisoners in Evin prison

According to the received news on Evin prison, at the night of November 2, there was a conflict and scuffle between prisoners and authorities of prison in various sections of the prison. Although the winter is coming and the weather of Evin which is located in mountainside in northwest of Tehran, is so cold but authorities of Prison took evil advantage of this matter to annoy and torture political prisoners, they turned off all heaters of prison and made a very cold place for prisoners. According to the words of some prisoners; the intensity of cold is such that bodies of some prisoners like Ayatollah Kazemeini Boroujerdi, who was affected by physical weakness because of previous pressures and tortures, have been numbed and are unable to move. That night the prisoners set fire to their blankets because of cold and showed their protest to authorities in this way.
As physical and psychological state of Ayatollah Boroujerdi, anti dictatorship religious leader and opposed to Velayat Faqih regime, is so critical, moreover some released reports say that he has fallen down to the ground and hurt, so his family and his followers are so concerned on his state.
Ayatollah Boroujerdi has called torturing prisoners by cold weather, honorable torture.

Followers of Ayatollah Boroujerdi Again Incarcerated

(3 November 2008) The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran expressed serious concern today for the imprisoned followers of Ayatollah Kazemini Boroujerdi, and for the health of the imprisoned cleric himself.
Hundreds of Boroujerdi’s followers were arrested for attempting to stop his arrest in October 2006. They were reportedly tortured and intimidated during interrogations in Evin Prison's Section 209. After roughly 11 months in prison, they were temporarily released after posting bail in amounts between approximately $52,000 and $105,000 (between 500 and 1 billion Rials).
A number of Boroujerdi’s followers were again detained and taken back to prison in the past week (listed below).
“Boroujerdi's followers should be released immediately,” the Campaign said. “They have been detained simply for supporting him—a blatant violation of their freedom of conscience and belief. Their basic rights as prisoners have been denied and they have been ill-treated while in custody.”
The Campaign also stressed the positive obligation of the Iranian authorities to protect the health and basic rights of Boroujerdi himself. Ayatollah Boroujerdi has been in prison since October 2006, and, according to his associates, has been subjected to torture and severe ill-treatment during his detention. As a result, his health has deteriorated considerably and he is in need of urgent medical care.

1) Massoud Samavatyan (47) has a Master's degree in literature. He has two children and is serving a 5-year imprisonment in exile sentence in Khoramabad.
2) Alireza Montazer Saheb(37), married with one child, is serving a 4- year imprisonment in exile sentence in Kermanshah.

The warning of religious and anti-oppression, Ayatollah Boroujerdi, to Mrs.Shirin Ebadi, the Nobel peace prize winner

Dear lady. Shirin Ebadi :
I respect to kind and merciful God and to liberal and just personalities and honor to dear and oppressed country and under torture nation of Iran.
Now that we are in the most sensitive time and history of our country and current human, credit and belief calendar shows the great times and the libertarianism shout of people under pressures of religious dictatorship calls all consciences on itself and ask every right nature to help, every kind of thought conflict and selective contrast (contrast base on your benefit not public) by peacemakers and reformist is a regrettable and unforgivable sin.
Person who calls himself responsible for definite and God-given rights of human must not just think on himself and not be dependent on any parties, you who are proud of world medals and prizes have hard and great responsibility and should be the reflex of national, cultural and religious protests of Iranian people, the expectation of aware and alert society of this country from you is cooperation and sympathizing with mind, body, press and speech of reformists and oppression deifiers of this country, now , as you have got immunity factors from organizations which are depended on United Nations and you are able to provide security and protect jailed lovers of Iran ,every kinds of omission and hesitation will not be accepted.
Today, Boroujerdi is not a person and is not just himself but is the symbol of resistance against religious dictatorship, I who am a clergy with 35 years of service in public, affection, mind and religious service of people, have been put in the severest and hardest tortures and pressures by political Islam and governmental religion and have spent heavy expenditures for combating against religious claimers that murder of my father and my mother , annihilation of my family and my youth and health are some results of religious despotism of governors .
Every kind of help and assistance to me, is same honor to freedom law and opposition to opinion siege and combat against belief inquiring and press censorships because I as a religious independent leader, ask for absolute freedom of press, speech, opinion and thoughts.
So, I as a public prosecutor and the lawyer of tens of millions of Iranian people in opposition to religious despotism, expect you to consider and follow up my file in the highest world court of Human Rights by presenting my complaint as soon as possible .
The best regard

The present testament of Ayatollah Seyed Hosein Kazemeini Boroujerdi

to his attorneys and representatives in all over the world
A testament to my attorneys and representatives in Iran and all over the world
In the name of God the beneficent the merciful
Greeting to peacemakers and liberals personalities
Please accept my greeting behind the long and deathful walls of Evin prison. My trial was held behind closed doors and without the jury and independent lawyer and historian reporters and it was held on the base of baseless reasoning and making faked files in security and appalling 209 section and I couldn't defend my demands and rights and there were no body to pay attention to my thought and my words, so I write some words and register the mysteries of present history in the immortal pages of present century by you, ladies and gentlemen. It's 30 years that I'm trying for open thought and the culture which is free of dictatorship and I have been sentenced to the severest inhuman punishments because of my resistance against the governmental religion and political Islam. According to the evidences and documents of ministry of Information, during last 14 years I have always been pursued and under psychological and physical tortures and pressures by the oppressor and illogical factors of regime and they made faked files for me and tormented my family. I devoted my father who was one of spreaders and preachers of traditional Islam and guided theist people in capital of country for 50 years by his speech, writing works and Imamate (religious leadership) and was martyred , in cause of freedom and liberality and also my mother who had been hurt by microbial and chemical weapons during the invasion of armed forces to my house and died while suffered from disease for along time due to the effects of these weapons. I spent my youth period to old age in cause of belief independence of nation and I devoted my chastity and family and oppressors who have claim of religion, violated to my chastity and I think all these are the penalty of my attachment to the sacred triangle " God, people and country". I say belief inquiring is opposed to this word of God "there is no obligation in choosing religion" and suffocation is contrary to religion word containing" God wants ease for you in execution of religious orders" and imposing the hard laws is negating this God word that says " accepting of orders of religion, must be without pressures and torments on people", dictatorship is contrary to this Quran word" God gives human a duty according his ability", opinion suppression rejects the God word" The God isn't biased toward his messengers" , having prison is opposed to Imam Ali's way, I believe the peace of Imam Hasan Mojtaba rejected every kind of bellicosity, and capitulation of Imam Ali in Hakamiyiat event( a historical event in Imam Ali's age) showed the republic and his return from Sefein war ( a war in Imam Ali's age)expressed his respect to majority of votes and Shiite Imams' avoidance of governmental systems is a reason that clergyman must be away from political movements and the reason of agreement of Shiite references on avoidance of political places is that religion will be destroyed by politic . I call the result of governmental Islam on politic, economic, opinion and credit, the reason of people mistrust toward spiritual and theology affairs and obvious and public Human Rights violation in Iran the result of this slogan" our religion is exactly our politic" ,and tortures and torments on my family and my self and followers of religion freedom theory the effect of religious despotism, so I ask Human Rights authorities to pay attention to the regretful and grave situation of my family and mine and the situation of all followers of independence religion on government. the reason of invasion of security, information and military forces to my humble house was attending of huge population of opponents of political Islam in my unique meeting there for I ask the United Nations to ask Iran government to execute absolute freedom and independence of religion and (United Nation) condemn every kinds of pressure, fear, restriction, prison, siege and massacre for opposition to political Islam via Security council and ask for a basic referendum on freedom of opinion, press and religion without government interference in polling of all Iranian people and support and give me as a public prosecutor who ask for free worship and without restriction, an immunity till I can grant the human request of gentle, honorable and oppressed people of Iran and help followers of all theism religion reach to God .
At the end I ask all honorable persons who accept my attorney and representation, to inform all concerned countrymen about rough and grave situation of my family and mine and all prisoners who are tortured in medieval prisons because of their avoidance of Political Islam and governmental religion and to ask all civil and legal centers and formal and reliable societies in all over the world for our rights and to ask religious leaders of all religions and nations to try to purify theism manner from political intends and cooperate with this clergyman who is under pressure and oppression and to ask Iran government to stop oppression and torture on patriot theists .
Thank you

According to the latest reports; after that Masoud Samavatiyan, Habib Quvati and AlirReza Montazer-Saheb, the three numbers of Ayatollah Boroujerdi’s followers, were transferred to out of Special court of clergy in order to execution of “imprisonment in exile” sentence at 3p.m and on 21, Oct, 2008, as yet, these people have not contacted their families. The families of these people have announced that if they don’t get reliable information on the situations of them until next Sunday, they will gather in front of the United Nations office in Tehran in addition to broadcasting this information.
According to received reports; AlirReza Montazer-Saheb has been transferred to prison in Kermanshah but, there is no information about the two other prisoners’ situation. Also it has been reported that Aliraza Montazer-Saheb has stricken against the very bad situations in prison but there is no further information on this matter.
These transmissions have probably been done in order to prevent from every protest and broadcasting the information of prisoners because it has been planed that a foreign group will come to consider the Evin prison situation during next week.
