The Honorable US president
Mister Barak Obama
Dear Mr. President;
As Iran’s tenth round of Presidential Elections to be left behind and with the rise of Mahmud Ahmadi Nejad as elected president in despite of all opposition of masses of people, continued violation of human rights and suppression of freedom of opinion and expression is considered to be one of the problems of Iranian people.
Unfortunately the account for Iran’s 9th government in the past four years reflects the fact that suppression of dissidents, religious and cultural-spiritual groups progressive process, in the month before the elections, many of civil, academic and human rights activist arrested prior to the government of Mahmud Ahmadi Nejad.
Regrettably the situation of Iran today has reached a stage that more than any other time the immediate attention and care of international institutions and direct interference with world leaders to make changes and developments in fundamental and improving the current needs.
The stifling atmosphere ruling on Iran has caused dissatisfaction and many protests from all walks of life. But it seems that indifference of officials and leaders of Islamic Republic compared to the issues and request of the Iranian people from the main cause of the nation with the government. As long as no ears to hear the cries and there is not the slightest stomata for people to deliver the message to the officials and especially the Leader of Islamic Republic of Iran have been closed and even writing a letter from Iranian citizens to Ayatollah Khamenei, has the most punishment to follow, is there a way left for people to appeal?
Mr. Obama,
Presently and in addition to the students, women, teachers, workers, journalists and human rights activists, the case of El-Yasin community’s (an academic and spiritual community) leader is considered to be one prominent instances of human rights violation in Iran who is of the victims of the Inquisition in Iran.
Two hundred thousand members of El-Yasin community whom is led by Mr. Peyman Fattahi (known as the Master Eliya) started their activities mostly in academic and spiritual teaching many years ago and today is known as one of the most active NGO Known in Middle East.
But by the order of some high ranked political and religious seats, the leader of this community along with some of his students have been arrested by a sect of the Intelligent and Security Ministry (Department Against Religions and Religious Minorities) and kept in Evin prison ward 209 under solitary confinement and under the most severe torture to deny his beliefs.
We fans of Eliya know him as a great teacher of thought and a theoretician and we believe that dispersal of his ideas and theory in the society can solve many of today's issues in Iran. Eliya’s desirous for the realization of spiritual freedom and free spirituality in society and is one of his views that the marriage civilizations and religions known to the principle that “interaction between Islam and Judaism, Christianity can be many of the world today to resolve because most of the issues rooted in the world is ideological differences”. And in general this attitude in the teaching of Eliya is that “religion is for Man and Man is not for religion and that human life should not be sacrificed for between religions differences.”
But the dispersion of Eliya’s views and teachings among people is considered dangerous for the power of religious Taliban in Iran and in their thought; they can imprison his ideas and views by his detention.
Meantime the students and fans of Eliya in Iran and outside, in protest against oppression and severe pressures of executioners of thought and spirituality have set numerous efforts and one of the last their actions is holding a continuous hunger strike has began in threshold of the tenth round of presidential elections of June 2009 and is continued.
Presently, more than 200 members and general representatives of El-Yasin Community in protest to more than 11 months of imprisonment of their leader Master Eliya (Mr. Peyman Fattahi) in solitary confinement and to the ruthless physical and mental torture, the community of El-Yasin gathered in the holy shrine of Ayatollah Khomeini are on hunger strike, with inquiries like; “we ask for an immediate medical examination on physical condition of our teacher Eliya", "we asked for an end to the physical and mental torture of our teacher, and "Mr. Shahroudi has the Eight Articles Commandment of Imam been forgotten?”, have declared their protest to the detention, torture and illegal behavior of “DARRM” in Ministry of Intelligence and their sabotaging attacks through media against master Eliya (Mr. Peyman Fattahi) and the members of the El-Yasin Community.
The participants with slogans persistently called for direct intervention of Iranian leader (Mr. Khamenei) in master Eliya‘s (Mr. Peyman Fattahi) case and El-Yasin Community and to put an end to oppression and injustice revealed by “DARRM” against the community’s leader and of the members of community.
On the other hand the strikers repeatedly face threats of security agents who are violently beating some of the members and news broadcasting crew and using tear gas to disperse them.
Unfortunately not only all efforts by El-Yasin to pursue the case had led authorities to investigate and end the situation, yet the official spokesperson for the community was illegally arrested and imprisoned during a follow up of the case. Essentially, the written request of El-Yasin members to all presidential candidates asking for freedom of Master Eliya has not been replied. But they have stood bravely to this silence of the Iranian authorities and intend to hold their strike until the freedom of Master Eliya (Mr. Peyman Fattahi) the leader of community, and seven members of El-Yasin from prison.
Mr. Obama,
Since that the Islamic Republic of Iranian governs and leader of are ignorant of problems created for the political, ideological prisoners, whom are the main cause of these silent academic and ideological crimes, up to this moment had not realize their responsibility for this human tragedy, consequently we are express our deep concern in connection with the status of strikers and bringing our appeal to you hoping you could put some pressure on Iranian officials requiring them to observe the human rights towards political–opinionative prisoners and ask for freedom master Eliya and his students as soon as possible.
Mr. Obama,
We know you as one of the best and the most sympathetic world leaders for establishing peace and unity in the world who are making great efforts for realization of humankind dream. Therefore we are pleading to you for justice, because we are confident of your concern for Iranian people and their issues.
We strongly believe that the just leaders in the advanced societies and free world can be a major impact on the fate of the nation and their release of the injustice and oppression of the absolute power and autocratic. In addition, since none of the Iranian political and religious leaders yet been responsible for their people and their demands for freedom, the people of Iran are seek justice and need your aid.
Sincerely yours,
A group of Master Eliya’s followers and admirers (inside and outside of Iran)
