The letter of the Secretary-General of the Constitutionalist Party of Iran to the office of the high commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Ayatollah Seyed Hosein Kazemeini Boroujerdi has passed harassing and intolerable days in the prisons of the Islamic Republic of Iran for along time. The Constitutionalist Party of Iran has informed public opinions bout the condition of Ayatollah Boroujerdi and other political and ideological prisoners several times. Now despite of serious health condition of Ayatollah, he is being denied access to medical and treatment facilities. Ayatollah Boroujerdi has gone to hunger strike in protest to existing limitations for 23 days as it has led to deterioration of his physical condition. According to the report of Amnesty International on May 19, 2009; expanded Human Rights violation in Iran is being continued not only on Ayatollah Boroujerdi, but on other political and ideological prisoners.

I would like to ask the United Nations to according to the international covenants of Human rights send a representative of Human Rights on behalf of The Constitutionalist Party of Iran to visit Ayatollah Boroujerdi in order to become informed on and be entirely in contact with his condition, and then take the necessary actions. Also pay a way to transfer him to an equipped hospital and accessing to necessary medical facilities. Since Ayatollah Boroujerdi is being denied contact with his lawyers, we ask for his continuous access to them too.

With the best wishes
Dr. Nader Zahedi
