Protest Letter to Ban Ki-moon
Tenth
presidential elections
15 June 2009
"... ACI would
like to register its protest and concern about
 |
the use of
excessive force against unarmed people |
|
lack of due
process during arrests and detentions |
|
the conditions
under which the detainees are being kept |
ACI would like to warn against
|
the possible use
of live ammunition by the security forces leading to fatalities |
|
the possible use
of torture and degrading or inhumane treatment against those
identified as organisers of the demonstrations |
In the last few days it has become
clear that the Islamic State is not accountable to its people. We
therefore have no choice but to look for international support. As the
highest authority and protector of the Nations’ rights, ACI respectfully
asks you, Sir, to demand from the Islamic Republic
|
a full list of
names of those arrested and detained, |
|
their
whereabouts, |
|
the condition
under which they are being detained, |
|
an assurance
that their rights to legal representation is being met..." |
