Interview
Panamanian Advertising Model Antony Ferrero
By Azad Karimi
Today I woke up with this news:
U.N. Adopts Resolution Condemning Iran’s Violations Of Human Rights. Sponsored by Canada, the resolution was adopted with 81 votes for, 30 against, and 70 abstentions. Reportedly, Syria is the only country that protested the adoption of the resolution. A member of Iran’s delegation to the UN, Mohammad Hassan Nejad Pirkoohi, protested the condemnation of Syria and North Korea in the resolution, IRGC-run news agency Fars reported. The recent resolution welcomes what it calls progress of Iran’s record, especially new laws limiting the death penalty for drug offenses. Iran raised the bar on applying the death penalty just days before the UN vote....
This last sentence is related to the execution of Ruhollah Zam, the director of the news website Amad News, who lived in France and was dragged to Iraq by an Iranian female spy, where he was extradited to Iran a few months ago and was executed a few days ago.
But limiting the death penalty to drug-related issues is not new to me, because Iranian governments are generally not very sensitive to the drug issue. In principle, in Shi'a-Islamic beliefs, drugs are not forbidden. And in principle, it is difficult to believe this issue that in an intelligence and security government like Iran, someone or people can easily establish strange mafias and the government was not aware of it. For example, in the Iranian-Turkish border, which passes between Iranian Kurdistan and Turkish Kurdistan, there is a complex transit between local smugglers and the Iranian-Turkish government mafias, whose income is unknown to anyone but God!
Transit of Toz and humans illegally but what is Toz? In Turkish, it means heroin. But where is the origin of Toz? This should be sought from places that are located in the outside regions of Kurdistan, and I do not know where they are, but certainly, Toz is being smuggled from the border of Urmia province to Wan province and spread all over the world.
You do not see a Kurdish border guard from Iran and Turkey on the borders of Kurdistan, they are all Iranian Turks and Turks from Turkey, but the smugglers are all Kurds and from Kurdistan, and it is only there that there is a complete agreement between Iranians, Kurds, and Turks.
Of course, in this triangle, some other factors also enter and ask for their share of this complex trade, and if they feel they have no share, they warn and demand their share by exploding a gas pipeline or killing the border guards of Iran and Turkey. Of course, patriotic slogans such as Great Iran, Great Kurdistan, and Great Turkey are also prescribed for the people.
But I have experience with human rights violations from what I have seen. In 1980, the government was able to control Kurdish - Turkish cities such as Takab, Miandoab, Naqadeh, and Sain Qala. The government made the people of many of these villages allies with itself and sent them to the cities of Mahabad, Bukan, Saqez, and Sanandaj. The goal of the Iranian government was to upset the demographic and cultural balance of Kurdish cities. The Iranian government made them loyal by giving them money, land, jobs, welfare facilities, and employment and educational privileges at prestigious Iranian universities. By developing the idea of begging and Pretending to be poor, the Iranian government lowered the level of people's expectations and in so doing, he both annihilated the urban and bourgeois middle-class people and classified slavery and servitude.
The peasants were enslaved by Khans, Begs, and feudal lords for centuries, but they came to the cities after the Islamic Revolution of Iran and continued the same style of obedience and slavery and subjugation and undermined the culture of protest and criticism that belongs to the middle-class people. The Iranian government, of course, asked them to help to the new system and get concessions. Of course, they did it willingly!
And the protesting Kurds from the villages and cities were either killed, displaced, or isolated and of course, many people became miserable and miserable and homeless. They were always despised and lived in corruption and destruction for an example of what I saw, I write:
It was December 1985 and the weather was very cold. I was 11 years old and returned home. I saw a large crowd in the central square. I was not an adult but I knew almost something about sex but it was very vague. Police were there to control the people. Suddenly, several police cars arrived and a number of police and soldiers disembarked.
The soldiers set a table in the middle of the street and put a young man on the table, wearing pijama and a T-shirt. It was like Francesco Rosi or Sam Peckinpah's films.
The police chief was sitting inside his Nissan Patrol, shouting through a loudspeaker to control the scene. The young man was placed on a table and beaten 74 or 84 times with a leather whip. They whipped him on the back, waist, buttocks, and thighs. But more unpleasant than this scene was the ugly voice of the police chief who counted the blows from the speaker: 1,2 ... 27, 36,49 ... It was the woman's turn, she was laid on the asphalt.
Her behavior was very interesting, she seemed to have come to watch the punishment, she looked at the people in astonishment and some people laughed at him. Everyone was surprised. No one had ever seen such punishment before. These stupid and rude behaviors were taken out of the garbage of his ideas by the Islamic Republic and he legislated and implemented them. The woman wore a black chador, which did not exist in the culture of the Kurdish people. This tent was worn by women in the Shiite areas of central Iran. A soldier whipped the woman several times on her back, and she stood up in pain and she opened her Chador to sort it. The police commander shouted: Hoy Sister! close your face! don't open your Chador! The people look at you! It is sin!
People were all men, they laughed out loud! And I remembered to go home fast, because of the cold and the fear of my mother's punishment! On the way, I thought that if my mother asks why are you late? How can I explain to him that a young woman and a young man had sex without the permission of religion and sanctities and now they have to be beaten!
I remember this story after many years and I laugh at all those who believe in this kind of punishment because I believe that all these punishments only break the boundaries of politeness, morality, and human dignity. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Government of Canada and all the eighty governments that voted to condemn the Islamic State of Iran are very respectful and humane, but the question is, is the Islamic State of Iran changing its behavior?
I would have liked to write about Princess Liela BadrKhan in this interview, but due to the importance of today's story, I will leave the writing to future interviews.
I wish good luck to my dear friend Antony. I admire him and I am proud of him. I hope he is successful and proud.
Thank you!
