To all those who thought that the petitions and all the projects that were raising awareness about the case of the brothers will have no or little impact, then know that (at least) the execution of the brothers has been delayed by the officials of the Islamic (Shiite) Republic of Iran.
Innocent political prisoners who have never been convicted of violence, rather their convictions include ambiguous charges such as “acting against national security”. Many ‘confessed’ after being brutally tortured.
The situation of Sunnis in Iran is well known,
with many living in secrecy due to fear of persecution for their beliefs. Sunni Muslims are a minority in Iran, and
they live under continuous oppression from the Shia government. Preachers and well-known Sunnis are persecuted by the authorities, and are often charged with being a ‘Wahhabi’, a ‘crime’ that carries the death penalty in Iran. Although the Iranian Safavid Rafidite regime does suppress and has executed a number of ethnic Persian Sunnis (Larestanis, Khorasanis, Hormozganis like Shaykh Zia’ie etc.), yet the regime is known to be e
xtra harsh towards any Sunni activity among the Iranian Kurds, this phenomena probably roots in the teachings of Shi’ism itself that portrays Kurds (similar like Arabs) in the worse way possible.
Sunni prisoners in Iran are subject to horrific levels of torture and neglect, and are discriminated against solely due to their beliefs. A source, who cannot be identified due to security reasons, testified about the shocking treatment of prisoners in an interview with the human rights group ‘International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran’ (ICHRI).
The Shia regime is brutal in its repression of prominent scholars and activists, with torture and execution a common occurence. Any ‘unpleasant’ (even if he’s a Sufi) found to be challenging the status quo in Iran or daring to openly propagate defend his belief (against Shia accusations) can be labelled a ‘Wahhabi’, a crime punishable by death in Iran.
The current case of over twenty prisoners is particularly worrying, given the fact that none of the prisoners have been charged with violence. Their convictions range from ‘crimes’ such as “acting against national security” to the equally vague charge of engaging in “religious activities”. Two of the prisoners are facing execution merely due to distributing CDs and materials about Sunnis. Many have been tortured repeatedly and forced to ‘confess’.
Describing the conditions at Rajaee Shahr Prison in Karaj, Iran, the source told the ICHRI that many prisoners were convicted based on dubious evidence. “Most of them accepted [the charges against them] under torture. When we are arrested, we are severely tortured,” he explained.Sunni prisoners endure hardships that are not faced by other prisoners. They do not have beds, and instead sleep side-by-side on the floor. Many face extended periods of solitary confinement and torture, on orders from the Intelligence Ministry.Prison forces abuse Sunni inmates on account of their religious beliefs, and prisoners are too scared to even seek medical attention due to the mistreatment they face. Shahram Ahmadi, a prisoner facing execution for ‘engaging in religious activities’, was beaten until he fell unconscious while being transferred to the prison hospital. He was insulted for issues pertaining to Sunni Islam, such as his beard and his beliefs regarding the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
A prisoner, who was imprisoned for his religious activities, said that the treatment of Shahram Ahmadi was so brutal that it caused fellow prisoners to cry, simply by witnessing his condition. Mr Ahmadi, who is 28 years old, had been denied medical treatment for bleeding from the kidneys, until guards finally agreed to allow him to go to hospital.On the way there, he was beaten with batons and insulted. Prison guards threatened him, telling him: “We will kill you like a dog, because you look like a dog.” They referred to his dead brother, saying, “Just as we hanged your brother, Bahram Ahmadi, we will kill you, too.”
Many prisoners were also forced to ‘confess’ to false charges on camera, with their statements later used as evidence against them. ICHRI described how prisoners refused to make false confessions, but intelligence agents threatened them, saying, “If you do not confess, it will end up working against you.” Agents also threatened the safety of their loved ones, saying, “This will be disadvantageous to your families.”
Possibly one of the most worrying aspects of these cases is that all the men involved have not been charged with violence. In fact, many face vague charges such as ‘acting against national security’. It is clear that the Iranian government is using any excuse to silence Sunni Muslim voices in Iran.It is quite astonishing that the Iranian regime continues to get away with sentencing men to death for petty charges. Inmates can remain imprisoned for years without sentence, until they are told they are to be executed for the ambiguous charge of “acting against national security through contacts with regime enemy groups.” Some, like the brothers Jamshid and Jahangir Dehghani, are to be executed for the ‘crime’ of distributing books and CDs about Sunni Islam.
Currently, there are a total of 26 Sunni prisoners known to be facing execution in Iran, although the real figure could be much higher. At present, we have the details of over 20 of the prisoners, and links to petitions to demand the stop to their execution. These men could be executed at any moment. It is clear they are innocent of any crime, and are victims of persecution by the Iranian government.
The situation is serious, the latest news are that the fate of seven prisoners is looking increasingly unstable, as reports emerge that several prominent scholars have been forced to announce approval of their execution.
The scholars were arrested in recent days in the mainly Sunni town of Mahabad, Iran. They are being held in an unknown location, and have been forced to comply with the authorities in their campaign to execute the prisoners. Statements supporting the execution of seven prisoners were signed by the scholars, providing a political justification for the execution. The prisoners have been detained for the past five years, and the Shia-led government has recently stepped up it’s efforts to sentence them to death.

On the picture below, two brothers smiling, even though they know they are about to be brutally separated. Bahram Ahmadi was executed in December 2012. His charges included ‘membership of a Salafi group’! He was severely tortured until he ‘confessed’. His brother Shahram Ahmadi will be executed soon. He was also tortured in prison.

The Iranic Kurdish people In the light of the Shia Rafidi traditions in the past and today
The Kurds, a great people, a Muslim people, the sons of Jaabaan Al-Kurdi the SAHABI (unknown to most in the Ummah) of the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa Aalihi wa sallam) who brought Islam to Kurdistan. The Kurds, the sons of Salah Al-Din Al-Ayyubi, the hero of every ‘Arab and ‘Ajam (non-Arab) in this Ummah, the just warrior who was very well aware of the danger of the Rafidi Shia cancer, thus before liberating Jerusalem from the barbarian Cursaders he first dealt with the Shia Rafidah by wiping away their Baatini Ismaa’ili Ubaydiyyah (Alleged Fatimid) state that the TWELVER Shia Rafidah ironically take pride in to this very day (and on top of it wrongly claim that back then Egyptians used to be Rafidi Shi’ites although Egyptians themselves never used to be Rafidi Shi’ites they were merely RULED by a Shia clan – not even a Twelver one – just as Sunni Syria is ruled by a polytheist Alawite clan).
To this very day most Kurds ascribe themselves to the Ahl Al-Sunnah, even in Iran the absolute majority of the Kurds do so (a minority of them are Shi’ites) and in fact they make up the majority of the Sunnis in Iran numbering between 7-10 million (these are old official numbers, the Iranian regime just like any other oppressive regime triest it best to keep the number of its minorities, particlularly the Sunnis as low as possible in any statistic). Their struggle against the Safavid Khomeinian Rafidi regime is unfortunately absolutely unknown to most of the Islamic Ummah (let alone their struggle against the ancient Safavids a five hundreds years ago who ironically were of Kurdish descent and moved to North Iran and turned Persia by force from a majority Sunni into a majority Shia country, most Kurds opposed them though) and even completely ignored by most so called Iranian (mostly nationalist) human rights groups in the west who blinded by their chauvinism barely mention anything about the ethnic minorities inside Iran (i.e. non-Persians) to begin with, heck even the struggle of ethnic Persian Sunnis (most of them based in Larestan i.e. southern parts of the Fars province, Hormozgan and Khorasan province) are barely covered and mentioned by Persian ‘human rights groups’ in the west, although the Iranian Sunnis in those mentioned areas are all ethnic Persians, so what can we expect from chauvinists, be it the nationalist Iranian groups or the Rafidi regime (who both suppress non-Persian ethnic groups either due to ethnical or religious reasons) in regards to Iranian Kurds who don’t just differ with most Persians religion wise, but also in regards to language and ethnicity.
The struggle and sacrifice of the Kurds in general and in this case the Iranian Kurds is unbelievable, to many to be mentioned here, starting with the crimes of Khomeini the Kafir Mushrik enemy of Allah and Islam who gave the Kurds empty promises just before the Revolution in order to fool the masses and gain support for his Revolution against the Shah only to backstab the Kurds once he came to power by imprisoning the biggest Kurdish Sunni leaders such as Ahmad Muftizadeh (who opposed Khomeini after witnessing the mass-executions and lies of Khomeini. Moftizadeh famous statement was addressed to Khomeini himself, saying that you (Khomeini) promised an Islamic Revolution but in fact brought a bloodthirsty secterian Safavid Revolution) and even attacking Sunni towns of the Kurds who ‘dared’ to protest against the insults and humiliations of the then newly installed Rafidi Shia regime towards the Sunnis and the Kurds (we certainly don’t support every uprising of ANY Iranian Sunni group, particularly not the separatist ones and communist ones, which definately existed amongst Iranian Kurds, nevertheless in all fariness, nobody can disagree that most of the Kurds were simple felt betrayed by Khomeini and his regime). In 1993 a newly constructed Sunni mosque in Sanandaj city was destroyed by a mob of Shi’a zealots. Despite the fact that more than one million Sunnis live in Tehran, many of them Kurds, no Sunni mosque exists to serve their religious needs. In a rare public protest, eighteen Sunni parliamentarians wrote to the authorities in July 2003 to criticise the treatment of the Sunni Muslim community and the refusal to allow construction of a mosque in Tehran that would serve that community.
A number of Iranian Kurdish scholars openly spoke against the heretic Khomeini and even wrote books exposing his heretical beliefs, scholars such as Naser Sobhani who wrote a whole book in refutation of Khomeini’s (and the Rafidah’s in general) allegations against the Mother of the Believers Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Mulla Mohammad Rabi’ie who on December 2, 1996 was assassinated by the Iranian regime in the city of Kermanshah is another victim of the regime and its long history of assassinating influential Sunni figures inside Iran. His assassination led to violent clashes between Sunni Kurds and the security forces. Mulla Rabiei was the prayer leader in the Al-Shafe’i mosque in Kermanshah. The protests continued for three days and spread to neighboring towns in the region. As of May 2010, there were at least 16 other Kurdish political prisoners on death row. Not one case has been reported as having received a fair trial, we have reported about them in the FOLLOWING ARTICLE. All of these brave man are nearly completely unknown to the Islamic Ummah but In sha Allah we will try our best to translate as much of their speeches and articles as we can, although we can’t promise anything (but we are happy if anyone who knows Farsi is ready to translate some material we can provide him/her with).
As you can see, the Kurds have suffered a long history of discrimination in Iran, sometimes based on their ethnicity alone, sometimes based on their religious beliefs and currently (in Rafidi Shia Iran) even based on both. As for the religious part then there is more to it than Kurds just being a non-Shia nation in a majority post-Safavid Shia Iran. The deep grudge and hatred the Shia clergy and Shi’ism itself as a sect have towards Kurds is ancient, shocking and unknown to many Muslims. What is actually mind-boggling (especially after reading this article) is that there are still a minority of Shi’ites amongst the Kurds (in Iran and even Iraq), but after all many slaves have accepted the corrupt religion of their masters (like most Black Africans who were shipped to America and turned into worshippers of a half-naked white man on the cross).
The matter of fact is that Shi’ism has a very negative view towards Kurds, most probably due to Kurds being always a majority Sunni people and having brought up man throughout history who gave some massive blows to Rafidi Shi’ism (Salah Al-Din the Kurd who wiped away the Fatimid heretics or Shaykh Al-Islam or Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah – who most likely was a Kurd, since being born in a Kurdish area AND not being ascribed to any Arab tribe). Whatever the reason, the fact is that Kurds are not being positively mentioned in Shia sources at all, in fact they are described as demon like creatures who merely look humand and with whom one shouldn’t interact at all. Let us provide you with some sources along with Shia justifications which are all nothing but cheap attempts to hide another ugly fact of their even more ugly religion.
