Let's celebrate Cyrus the Great Day

And save the town, home and mausoleum of this

father of Human Rights


Once again, the International Committee to Save Pasargad celebrates October 29th as the Day of Cyrus the Great, the father of Human Rights. This day is one of the days narrated by historians as the day Cyrus entered the Babylon capital and issued his Human Rights charter. This document entails issues such as abolition of slavery and national or racial discriminations, freedom to choose one's place of residence, freedom of religious beliefs, and establishing peace amongst nations. Such ideas are still alive and clearly esteemed by all those who believe in human dignity and his rights.

This charter that actually was bestowed to the world by the ancient Iranians nation through its leader, Cyrus, was recognized as the first charter of Human Rights in 1971 by the United Nations and, thus, our country's name was hailed as the first place in history where human rights were recognized and observed in ancient antiquity.

And once again, the International Committee to Save Pasargad seeks the help of all people of the world in its struggle to preserve the home, capital and mausoleum of Cyrus the Great that are scattered all over the Pasargad Plains and Bolaghi Gorge, all threatened by the flooding of the Sivan dam.

We invite all members of the Committee, together with all our compatriots and all lovers of human historical treasures to bring together their capabilities during the week of October 22 to 29 and endeavor to inform others about this danger and, at the same time, gather even more signatures under the petition of this Committee for saving Pasargad.

With sincere love and regards

The International Committee to Save Pasargad

Sehr geehrter Herr Rechtsanwalt …

obwohl wir miteinander kein Wort gesprochen hatten, haben Sie sich in meinem Namen und mit Ihren zwei Schriftsätzen vom 06.04.2006 und 25.09.2006 an das Arbeitsgericht und an das Verwaltungsgerich gewandt, weil ich - unstrittig - keinen bestimmten Anwalt, sondern die Rechtsabteilung von Verdi beauftragt habe, mir (in meinem Arbeitsrechtsstreit und in meinem Rechtsstreit in Bezug auf Entscheidungen des Integrationsamtes) Rechtsbeistand zu leisten.

Deshalb bitte ich Sie um Ihre juristische Stellungnahme zu den hier unten ausgeführten Punkten:

1) Es ist mir nach wie vor ungeklärt geblieben, aufgrund welcher Veranlassung Sie sich mit Ihrem Schriftsatz vom 08.04.2006 an das Arbeitsgericht gewandt und dadurch „ein ruhendes Verfahren wieder in Gang gesetzt“ haben. Denn ich habe der Rechtsabteilung von Verdi keinen Auftrag erteilt, das stillgelegte Verfahren wieder aufzunehmen.

2) Den Inhalt des an Verdi gerichteten Fax der gegnerischen Partei vom 27.06.2003 konnte ich erstmalig als Anlage der Kopie Ihres Schriftsatzes vom 06.04.2006 (Arbeitsgericht) zur Kenntnis nehmen. Es ist mir unbegreiflich, dass man einerseits einem Arbeitnehmer gegenüber lediglich durch Faxübersendung eine Kündigung wirksam aussprechen kann, andererseits ein Vertragsabschluß per Fax in der Regel keine Gültigkeit hat.

2a) Mir ist die gegnerische Partei Gehälter (Brutto 5 x ,,,, € für die Zeitspanne 01.07.2003 bis 31.11.2003) schuldig geblieben und hat die hierfür gesetzlich bestimmten Steuern und Sozialabgaben selbst zu berechnen und an die zuständigen Stellen zu überweisen. Diese Angelegenheit kann m. E. dem Gericht nicht verschwiegen bleiben und müsste dem Gericht schriftlich vorgetragen werden.

(Ich betone, dass ich Arbeitslosengeld in den genannten fünf Monaten erhalten habe, das mir unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht zustand.)

3) Mit Bezug auf Ihren Schriftsatz vom 25.09.2006 (Verwaltungsgericht) bitte ich Sie um umgehende Nachholung des immer noch nicht gestellten Antrages auf Einsichtnahme der mich betreffenden Akte des Rehabilitationsamtes.

3a) Vorsorglich bitte ich Sie mir mitzuteilen, wann und wo ich die mich betreffende Akte des Rehabilitationsamtes in Augenschein nehmen darf um dabei von dem mich betreffenden Protokoll (denn es gab zwei Sitzungen und sämtliche mir gestellten Fragen und meine Antworten wurden auf der Stelle getippt und per Computer gespeichert) Fotokopien zu machen.

Abschließend:

Da Herr Friedrich verreist ist und ich keine kompetente Person in der Führungsetage telefonisch erreichen kann, bitte ich die Führungsetage von Verdi auch auf diesem Wege um einen umgehenden Termin. Zugleich gebe ich noch einmal bekannt:

  • Mit Verweis auf die hier als Beispiel vorgetragenen sachdienlichen Punkte bestehe ich (nach wie vor) darauf, dass Verdi sich umgehend um einen 3 - 4monatigen Aufschub des vor der Tür stehenden Gerichtstermins (24.10.2006) kümmert.

  • Darüber hinaus wird Verdi noch einmal gebeten, die drei Jahr lange Verschleppung der Entscheidung Ihrer Rechtsabteilung sachlich zu beenden und mir anstelle Herrn .... einen anderen Anwalt zu benennen. Denn ich kann mich nicht an meinen Rechtsschutz bei der Allianz wenden, weil Verdi damit begonnen hatte, in meinem Namen meine Angelegenheiten gerichtlich anzufechten.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Molai

Awarding an Honorary Degree to MULLA Khatami?

To: The University of St. Andrews

Re: Awarding an Honorary Degree

to Mohammad Khatami on 31 October 2006



We the undersigned strongly object to your university’s decision to award an Honorary Degree to Mr. Seyed Mohammad Khatami, the former president of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

During Mr. Khatami’s presidency (Voted in by millions of Iranians whose aspirations were to see an improvement in the social, political and economic conditions in Iran), the people of Iran continued to suffer from the Islamic Republic’s theocratic and oppressive policies!

Only after 2 years into Mr. Khatami’s presidency, following the banning order of many newspapers and suppression of any voice for democracy, the Tehran University students’ uprising in July 1999, demanding for the freedom of speech and calling for Democratic Rights was brutally vanquished by the Regime’s military forces!
Mr. Khatami himself delivered a speech during the students’ protest which condemned their movement declaring to ”Crush any movement which would undermine the foundation of the Islamic Republic, at any cost”!

During Mr. Khatami’s presidency the infamous “Serial Murders” of the leaders of the opposition, both inside Iran and abroad, were continued by the mercenaries of the regime and although demanded from him by the international Human Rights Organisations such as “Amnesty International” and “The Human Rights Watch”, to bring the perpetrators to justice, he chose to take no action!

During Mr. Khatami’s presidency, many intellectuals such as Mrs. Zahra Kazemi, an Iranian born Canadian Journalist and Dariuosh Forouhar and his wife, well known members of the banned opposition party (Iran Nation’s Party) were brutally murdered.
Mr. Khatami’s position on Mr and Mrs Forouhar’s murder was such that just hours before the murders were reported; he had delivered a speech to condemn secular political activists.
Khatami's condemnation of opposition activities on that day was his personal endorsement to carry out these murders!

Mr. Saeedi Sirjani, and many more Iranian scholars, thinkers and intellectuals were murdered while he served the Islamic Republic as the Minister of “Islamic Culture & Guidance” and in fact, one needs to refer to Mr Saeedi Sirjani’s testamentary preface in many of his books to find out that he personally held Mr. Khatami responsible for his death!
While Mr. Saeedi Sirjani’s books were being torched and his house ransacked by the security forces and the regime's thugs, Mr Khatami and his office were too busy “Guiding” the Nation into the Islamic Values!

To this effect, the people of Iran were soon disillusioned by Mr. Khatami’s so called “Reforms” and soon realised that he was just another brick in the wall of the Fascist state of the Islamic Republic of Iran!

Mr. Khatami has a talent for hiding his true face behind a charming smiley mask and the people of Iran learnt this the hard way.

Today, the entire free world holds the Islamic Republic of Iran responsible for many commotions and terrorist activities around the world including agitating the Moslem extremists to rise against the world’s democratic values. The international policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is to destabilize the entire region to achieve its expansion programme and to establish its supremacy in the Middle East and the entire Islamic World!

Mr. Khatami is an integral part of the Islamic Republic Regime who remains faithful to the survival of the regime in decisive moments. In July 1999, the heroic students of Tehran University unveiled the demon behind his deceitful face and proved that he and his so called “Reformist” allies are the other side of the same coin as the Islamic Conservatives who strive to oppress the Iranian people and to ravage the natural resources of Iran on the one hand, and to break apart the civilised world’s democratic values and pose a threat to the world’s peace on the other!

The Western Democracy has yet to learn not to fall into the same trap as did the people of Iran by voting him into power in 1997 which is why you have this petition before you!

Awarding Mr. Khatami with an Honorary Degree from your University would be an insult to your own university students and intellectuals, the families of those whom had their loved ones murdered by the Islamic Republic's security agents, the people of Iran, the established Democracy in the United Kingdom and the rest of the civilised and peace loving world.
By doing so, you would undoubtedly be jeopardising the free world's will to maintain its hard earned Democracy during these turbulent times.

By awarding Mr. Khatami with an Honorary Degree of your University, you would be endorsing the legitimacy of one of the most brutal and dictatorial regimes in history and would only legitimise the current subversive policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

We therefore, urge you to withdraw your invitation of Mr. Khatami’s visit to your University and maintain your University's position as a centre of excellence to play its rightful part by standing beside the Iranian people in their struggle to establish a secular system based on Democracy and the International Charter of Human Rights and to promote peace and Democracy throughout the world.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Reza Pahlavi of Irans Speech

at the University of Nebraska




Ladies and Gentlemen:

It gives me great pleasure to be with you today, and to share with you some of my thoughts and concerns, as well as some of my hopes and aspirations regarding my country and its future.

Let me begin by saying that the arrival of Ayatollah Khomeini on the Iranian political scene in 1979, firmly established Iran as the cradle and bastion of modern day Islamic fundamentalism. Since then, people everywhere, when speaking of Iran, have generally associated my homeland with such modern day scourges as the rise of militant Islam and international terrorism. More recently, these concerns have become further exacerbated by a rising fear that the Islamic leadership in Iran is also seeking to equip itself with nuclear weapons.

Lately, the terrible hostilities that raged for 34 horrible days last summer between Hezbollah and Israel, brought to light another new and undeniable reality concerning the inseparable links that have now come to exist between issues and players in the wider Middle East. The clerical regime in Teheran has been actively exploiting regional grievances in order to promote its own agenda, using surrogates such as Hezbollah and Hamas across the Moslem world.

Only by grasping the true significance of this new development and its implications for international security, can there be some hope of meaningful cooperation and coordination in trying to contain the efforts of an oil rich rogue state that has no compunction in promoting violence and terror in distant lands as a cynical ploy to distract attention away from its own domestic unpopularity and colossal failures.

In my view, it would be a grave mistake to either under-estimate or trivialize the threat that is posed by the theocratic dictatorship in Iran, for the following reasons:

As the first contemporary theocracy to establish itself in a major state, the Islamic regime in Tehran has been able to use the vast resources of Iran to energize other radical fringe elements while promoting its own concept of militant Islam, coupled with militant anti-Americanism throughout the Islamic world. Moreover, the Islamic regime has, at a philosophical level, been a main obstructing bloc in the crisis that is confronting the world of Islam with such important contemporary notions as progress and modernity. Today, this can be seen clearly through the Iranian regime’s vigorous support for anti-status quo, die-hard fundamentalist causes across the Islamic world, as well as uncompromising Islamists and Jihadists in places like Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine.

Whether in promoting radical Islam or the pursuance of its own narrow interests – something that is most assuredly separate from the national interest of the Iranian nation – the regime in Tehran has always relied and continues to rely on such tools as subversion and terrorism, as well as utter disdain for well established norms in international law. Here, let us not forget the occupation of the US Embassy in Teheran and the taking and holding of American diplomats as hostages, or more recently, the regime’s total disregard for the wishes of such bodies as the IAEA or the United Nations’ Security Council. In the latter case, everyone here is well aware of the fact that, irrespective of continuous assertions and assurances given by the Islamic authorities, there is no doubt in any one’s mind that the regime seeks to ensure and insure the continuity of its evil existence by equipping itself with nuclear weapons and the means for delivering them to targets well beyond Iran’s h!
istorical threat perimeters.

On a separate note, without wishing to sound alarmist, I would like to point out that behind the spoken words and the prevailing doctrines adhered to by the ruling establishment in Iran, there are clear indications that there is a real clash of civilization between the clerical regime’s interpretation of Islam and mainstream moderate Islamic teachings – let alone other modern and more secular concepts contained in modernity and liberalism. In truth, and irrespective of certain “PR campaigns” such as the ill-fated project of former Islamist President Khatami, called the “Dialogue of Civilizations”, this, in fact, is a clash that they have sought to promote among their various spheres and circles of influence within the Islamic world.

Having said all this, I wish now to say a few words about the internal picture in Iran by focusing first on the country’s dire economic situation. It is a fact that Iran has 1% of the world’s population and 7% of the world’s resources. Furthermore, while the country enjoys abundant energy resources, it is also blessed by a young and educated work force. However, since 1979, my homeland has faced steady economic decline as a consequence of its general mismanagement and the inability for coming to grip with certain recurring economic problems – such as a chronic over-dependency on the oil income, an antiquated bureaucracy, an untrusting “private sector”, as well as corruption and inefficient monopolies reserved for the select regime loyalists. Added to this cocktail of ills is the regime’s reliance on massive “subsidies” which have brought forth double-digit inflation and the doubling of the national budget deficit during Mr. Ahmadinejad’s first year in office.

Today, with unemployment and inflation both well over 20%, there is general consensus amongst experts that the Iranian economy is in full recession with general demand for goods and services seriously down. The situation is further exacerbated by the regime’s increased militancy with respect to its foreign affairs, bringing into question the regime’s vision and strategy for turning the economy around.

In the social and political sphere, the regime has displayed no compunction whatsoever in using whatever force has been required for savagely containing a population that has been the primary victim of its ineptitude in every conceivable field. The regime’s failure in various economic, social, cultural and political issues have inadvertently led to a situation that over the past 27 years, thousands of freedom loving Iranians have been either imprisoned, tortured, executed at home or exiled and assassinated abroad, simply because of their refusal to submit to what is no more than a vicious “Islamic Apartheid” system that makes mockery out of such notions as democracy or popular sovereignty. These actions have now brought my homeland to the edge of a new precipice that is already showing signs of open resistance and violence amongst Iran’s much neglected ethnic populations – be they in Khuziztan, Baluchistan, Azebaijan or Kurdistan. It is important to point out that unrest in !
these areas pose a major threat, not just to the stability and the territorial integrity of Iran, but for Iran’s neighbors and the region as a whole. There is no exaggeration when one speaks of the Islamic regime’s bloodstained record of total disdain and disregard for the human rights and individual liberties of all Iranians, and specially the youth and women of our country.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Having squandered the initial trust of the Iranian people, today the main aim of the Islamic regime in pursing the policies that it does, is to remain in power at all cost. Backed by the wealth of the Iranian nation, they have taken refuge behind an invisible wall they have constructed between themselves and the people. Their strategy for survival is to blackmail the outside world into inaction while intimidating and brutalizing their own citizens at home. To achieve this end, they will stop at nothing…

So what can be done to address this seemingly uncontrollable cancer that has already destroyed the peace of mind and prosperity of the Iranian people, and is threatening to spread its poison everywhere else in the Middle East and the Islamic world? How do we begin addressing a serious issue of this nature that has proven, over and over again, that it will not simply vanish in face of half baked measures and empty rhetoric?

In my view, it is essential that those who are countering fanaticism and extremism under the banner of liberal-democratic values, should, first and foremost, try and respond to certain important philosophical and searching questions: For instance, why has secularism has been under such severe strain in the Middle East? Could they have possibly aggravated matters indirectly by having failed to understand or show sensitivity to the kind of social, economic and political pressures confronting their secular allies – past and present?

In my view this is an important question that needs to be addressed if only to reaffirm the belief that extremists and fanatics who purport to have the almighty on their side, are nothing but fakes who are incapable of resurrecting either national pride or national self esteem, let alone overseeing a just society that values notions such as freedom and diversity.

It thus follows that secular democrats in Iran and across the Middle East need to be supported and propped up so that they can successfully meet the challenges that are posed by extremists and fundamentalist.

Moreover, in the case of Iran, it is important that an image be conveyed that the United States can help the ordinary people of Iran out of the jam they are in by raising their depleted morale. Care needs to be taken to portray secular democratic leaders, as enlightened and patriotic figures who are risking everything for their people. It should be stressed, in no unmistakable way, that they will never compromise on any issue that is against the interest of their people. In this regard, lessons learned from Iraq can be usefully employed to avert certain avoidable impediments, by enhancing the notion that US allies are honorable people, who are both popular and well capable of gaining the trust and respect of their people. Also, it must be reiterated that Iran will not be a carbon copy of Iraq and any positive change towards democracy will not result in chaos.

At the same time it is important to emphasize that Iranians who are urged to stand up against the current dictatorship, are also most concerned that they should not be sold out or compromised. The example of what happened to Iraqis in 1991 is vivid in my compatriots’ minds. Hence, any diplomatic overtures towards the current regime must show sensitivity by taking this factor into consideration, if only to ensure that repeated appeals – such as those made by President Bush to the Iranian people – are neither diluted nor made to look disingenuous. Therefore, communicating in a meaningful way with the Iranian people, while at the same time projecting the image that the United States wants to support the people of Iran in their quest for democracy and human rights, is a key factor that will continue to require added attention as we move forward. But let me be forthright by affirming that words alone cannot be enough!

In closing, let me say that I firmly believe that one of my country’s unique features is the fact that it is the ripest candidate for the promotion of democracy and civil society in the Middle East. Hence, what is needed is to continue with the messages of support for our people, while actively looking for practical ways of making those messages actually make a difference on the ground. Even then, the peaceful path for promoting the change we all seek will not be an easy one. But, my compatriots and I will take heart by knowing that we are not alone. Have no doubt that we are determined to save our country and secure our future by bringing democracy and modernity for a well deserving nation. As such, Iran will once again be and reliable partner for the free world in contributing to greater peace and stability in our region and beyond.

Thank you!
