Translated by Frieda Afary Honorable President Da Silva: We the signatories and endorsers of this letter know that you have traversed a difficult road to democracy — from the grassroots level of union struggles to the level of the nationwide Brazilian workers’ federations and the arena of global politics — with the support of the votes of the democratic and freedom-loving people of Brazil. As a group of union and syndicate activists, political activists, and activists promoting various creeds, we have been incarcerated in the prisons of the Islamic Republic solely for having performed our union and professional duties and for our votes and opinions. We are aware that you have defended the rights of an Iranian woman and mother [Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, sentenced to death, originally by stoning] and were even prepared to offer her asylum. Having witnessed your humanitarian attitude, we were compelled to ask of you the following: In order to become better acquainted with the Iranian authorities who present themselves as your friends, ask them to take measures to observe our human rights and freedom. Although their attitude and response to [the demand] for the release of the aforementioned woman already gives you and the world a flavor of what these gentlemen consider to be respect for human rights. Your Excellency Da Silva, as a part of the labor-intellectual representatives of various unions and professions, we ask the following of you, a member of various labor unions and federations and one of the leaders of the major nations of the world, and specifically of Latin America with its famed record of seeking freedom and justice. Ask the Iranian authorities who present themselves as your friends to free all union, labor, and political prisoners and prisoners promoting various creeds. By making such a friendly demand, you will gain a better understanding of these authorities. In conclusion, we send you and the people of Brazil our best wishes for further success. Long live the international solidarity of toilers and freedom fighters. Mansour Osanloo

“the Right Parties, the Right Court, the Right Premise”Posted in Uncategorized on August 23, 2010| Leave a Comment » A comment on nokia story on CNNPosted in Uncategorized on August 22, 2010| Leave a Comment » 1st, Nokia says: "The Saharkhiz lawsuit is brought in the wrong place, against the wrong party and on the wrong premise."
And: "-they are seeking to blame Nokia Siemens Networks for the acts of the Iranian authorities by filing a lawsuit in the U.S., a country that has absolutely no connection to the issue they are raising."
Then by the end of the story they have this to say: "However, he acknowledged that his company miscalculated when it came to providing monitoring centers to Iran."
and then; "We halted all work related to monitoring centers in Iran in 2009, including service and support," French said, according to a statement distributed by his company's press office. "We believe we should have understood the issues in Iran better in advance and addressed them more proactively."
Kinda seems to me they cut their own throat right there in regards to a lawsuit. Actions speak louder than words and those are both the words and actions of someone who realizes they are in the wrong and seeking to turn over a new leaf. Kinda like accusing a hit and run driver that denies culpability and then they point out that they realized they hit someone but it's cool now because they just bought insurance and took a defensive driving course.

Isa Saharkhiz Blood Pressure 220 over 130, Normal Blood Pressure 120 over 80, HE IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION, STILL NO HOSPITAL Tortured Prominent Iranian Journalist Sues Nokia Siemens Networks for Human Rights AbusesPosted in Uncategorized on August 16, 2010| Leave a Comment » Tortured Prominent Iranian Journalist Sues Nokia Siemens Networks for Human
Rights Abuses
Chevy Chase, Maryland – August 16, 2010 – Isa Saharkhiz and his son, Mehdi Saharkhiz
filled a lawsuit in U.S. Federal Court in Alexandria, Virginia against Nokia Siemens
Networks and its parent companies Siemens AG and Nokia Inc. alleging human rights
violations committed by the Iranian government through the aid of spying centers which
were provided by Nokia Siemens Networks.
Isa Saharkhiz, a prominent Iranian journalist and political activist has been arrested as a
result of the surveillance and monitoring of his cell phone communications in the
aftermath of disputed 2009 presidential election in Iran. Since his arrest, Iranian officials
have tortured Mr. Saharkhiz and subjected him to other inhumane and degrading
treatment or punishment. Currently, his health is deteriorating, suffering from untreated
injuries caused by torture, resulting from Iranian authorities withholding necessary
medical care.
The lawsuit seeks, among other things, Nokia Siemens Networks to cease all unlawful
support of intercepting centers of the Iranian government. It also asks Nokia Siemens
Networks to help secure the release of Mr. Isa Saharkhiz through the use of their
connections with the Iranian Government. Lastly, the suit seeks relief that would prevent
Defendants from harming others in the future in other similarly situated countries like
Iran.
Through their attorneys, Edward Moawad and Ali Herischi of the law firm of Moawad &
Herischi, LLP, the plaintiffs in this lawsuit call upon the United States’ judicial system to
hold accountable businesses practices such as the ones committed by Nokia Siemens
Networks in Iran.
