***********************Petition for Release of Mr. Saeed Masouri***********************

Dear Sir/ Madam:

It has come to my attention that on June 9, 2002, in Tehran, Iran, Saeed Masouri received a death sentence from a special clerical court as punishment for having expressed opinions that support human rights and fundamental freedoms. In this special hearing, Mr. Masouri was not defended by his lawyers, but by a religious lawyer appointed by the court. This trial cannot be considered to have taken place in " public " by the standards of the international human rights instruments. This is in direct violation of Article 10 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 10, 1948, which states “Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.” Saeed currently resides in Tehran’s infamous Evin prison, awaiting execution.

Saeed Masouri was born in Iran in 1966.  He left the country and was granted landed immigrant status in Norway (case# 3032) in 1988.  His family did not have significant communication with him until receiving word of his arrest in Iran on January 20, 2001.  His legal representative in Oslo, Norway is Dug Holman.  

We the undersigned demand the immediate release of Saeed Masori and for the release of all political prisoners in Iran. We also demand to stop Saeed`s death penalty.
