ICHR strongly demands Atena’s immediate release from Iran’s government, also to stop persecution’s of her Now. Not giving her access to visitations, is yet another violation of human rights by the government of Iran.
Atena Daemi’s Father said in social media that he is not allowed visitations, and it has been more than one month that he has not seen his daughter. She is also not allowed any phone calls.
Atena Daemi born 1988 in Fuman, is a civil rights activist, children’s rights activist, human rights activist and political prisoner in Iran. Daemi was arrested on 21 October 2014, and sentenced as of 21 May 2015 to a fourteen-year prison sentence for meeting the families of political prisoners, criticizing the Islamic Republic of Iran on Facebook, and condemning Iran’s 1988 mass executions of political prisoners.
The government of Iran has shown over and over that they have no regard for international human rights laws, and mentally torturing Atena by banding her from visitations, and phone calls, is a violation of her human rights.
Each day that Atena spends in prison her absence is felt worldwide, she is imprisoned for defending women rights to protest against Iran’s forced hijab laws, as well as opposing death penalty. We stand in solidarity with her, and won’t stop until Atena Daemi is released immediately and unconditionally.” Said Ardeshir Zarezadeh, Executive Director for Iran, and The Middle East at ICHR Canada.
He also added “ government of Iran must refrain their disregard for human rights violations, and stop prosecuting and sentencing whom ever that oppose the state’s politics.”
