Sayeh Hassan is a Toronto based Barrister & Solicitor and owner of An Interview with the Martyr Alireza Davoudi’s Parents, Committee of Reporters of Human Rights
Following is the translation of an interview conducted by “Committee of Reporters of Human Rights” with the family of Mr. Alireza Davoudi, who recently died, quite possibly due to the torture he had been subjected to in Islamic Regime Prisons.
Mr. Davoudi was expelled from university due to his political activities. He was arrested on February 12th 2009 in the city of Esfehan. He was released on April 25th 2009 on a 100 million Tooman bail. He died on July 29th 2009 at the age of 26.

I just came across a news article from “Azizanpress Blog” from Zanjan University where a number of students have gathered and prepared a sign which reads : “ Mir Hossein Mousavi is Guilty in People’s Court Because of the 1988 Mass Executions.” It’s very interesting that this was done BEFORE the election, on May 23rd 2009.
Today marks the 3rd anniversary of Akbar Mohammadi’s suspicious death in the notorious Evin Prison. Akbar Mohammadi was arrested along with his brother Manouchehr Mohammadi during the pro democracy student protests in July 9th 2006.
Mr. Behrouz Javid Tehrani is an Iranian political prisoner. He was first arrested during the pro-democracy student demonstrations on July 9th 1999 (18 Tir) and he is the only remaining political prisoner from 18 Tir.
Hundreds of protestors in Toronto gathered on Mel Lastman Square on Thursday July 9th 2009 between 6pm-10pm to mark the 10th year anniversary of July 9th 1999 student uprising in Iran.
According to one of my contacts in Tehran there were thousands of Basiji and Revolutionary Guards in the streets of Tehran today attacking the protestors. He witnessed a mother and her child get beaten savagely by Basij forces during the protest.
Rooftop Protests in Tehran
On the eve of the 10th anniversary of 18 Tir (July 9th 1999) pro-democracy student demonstrations, residents of Tehran took to their rooftops and shouted the slogan of “death to the dictator.” According to reports from Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran people also used this opportunity to advertise and inform each other of the 18 Tir demonstrations which are to take place in most major cities in Iran tomorrow. The rooftop protests lasted until approximately 10:30pm.
