Dr. Ahmed Shaheed The UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran Most respectfully and for your consideration, I -Mohammad Ali Taheri, father: Mohammad, born: 1956, thefounder of Interuniversal Consciousness or Halqeh Mysticism, besides founding two other complementarymedical and therapeutic approaches of Faradarmani and Psymentology, shall make this statement that I was detained by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards intelligence forces, first in April 2010, on accusation of ‘threatagainst national security’, and got imprisoned for 67 days in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards’ specialsolitary confinement cell (2-A) in Evin prison. In March 2011 and for a second time, and this time for somefabricated, security-related charges such as: apostasy, fighting against God and His holey prophet,blasphemy, insults to the prophet, got arrested and transferred to the very same solitary cell. It is worthnoticing that during their interrogations and investigations the following counts of violation and crime weremade up by Mr. Asadi, the Interrogator in Evin court branch 5, along with his six other fellow interrogators;instances of which are listed below for your further information, investigation and due action. Please andalso be informed of my preparedness and availability for making testimony in person, whatsoever: 1- Exerting stress and mental torture by the interrogators and investigators through filing fabricatedproofs and untruthful documents which seemingly certified my execution as accredited by 15 of thegrand Ayatollahs, claiming that all the contents of my books, papers, periodicals, classes and CDs hadbeen sent to these grand Ayatollahs for their inspection and scrutiny after which process theyinclusively issued their final verdict and sentenced me to apostasy and thus subject to immediateexecution with no further legal steps or even formalities required. Therefore and every day they kepttelling me to be prepared for execution; one was telling me that even if in a wild guess I could getreleased I would be assassinated on the way back home since there are always a great number ofMuslims who are committedly prepared to carry out the verdict of grand Ayatollahs, no matterwhat! Following my second, 9-month detention and two attempts of hunger strike, demanding andinsisting on immediate legal consideration of the allegations and accusations against me andclarification of these never-proven charges by the grand Ayatollahs, eventually, I was suddenly calledin for a closed court (not open to the public or media) and only there and then I was notified by mylawyer that the claimed charges were all counterfeit and never authentic. It was revealed to me that my interrogator had proposed six totally irrelevant assumptions of his own to the grand Ayatollahs,who and merely based on such assumptions, had issued verdicts; none of which assumptions wereeven close to the truth in my case. In fact no execution order had been sentenced nor mandatedever. However and through a setup of such scenario fabrications, faking documents for execution,exerting mental stress and constant torture, these interrogators were to break me to accept theabove-mentioned charges and fake allegations, most particularly the ‘apostasy’, compromising methat I could get pardoned and walk a free man provided that I would first accept/confess to all theseaccusations and then take their promise for repentance. 2- Proposing suggestions for compromise, admission and confession of having connections with the USto escape and evade execution, in which case they would cancel the execution sentence, substituteand enforce an 8-year imprisonment instead -a trick to tie up me and complicate my case withhaving connection to the US and therefore enable them to harm and damage Halqeh Mysticism(Interuniversal Consciousness) trying to deface this approach by being a product of the US. 3- Intimidating me with threats say hurting my wife and my children orphaned. Forming no results fromforcing me for an apostasy confession by my investigators and interrogators (proposals 1 & 2mentioned above), one of them threatened me by saying that they have got people to have my wifehurt, etc. if I do not comply or cooperate (which meant nothing but endorsing and signing some pre- dictated and untruthful confessions). As a consequence to the mental and emotional pressuresresulting from constant intimidation and the orchestrated and fabricated sentence for my executionfrom one hand, and my unwillingness to give in to pre-dictated and untruthful confessions from theother, all in all left me with no option and convinced me to commit suicide four times, just to nullifytheir satanic tricks and sinister intentions, hoping to both secure my family members and notsurrender to a dishonest confession. 4- Instrumental misuse and abuse of the highly esteemed position of the grand Ayatollahs to exertmore mental and physical pressure, in line with their false security plans and intentions. 5- Utilizing all kinds of emotional and mental pressures as well as fake promises on a conditionalrelease in case of committing orchestrated and fabricated media interviews. After several months ofsolitary confinement, four attempts for suicide, two times of hunger strike and the excruciating fearfor the safety of my family members (following the failure of my investigators and interrogators’fabricated scenarios), in order to end their (unreasonably and illegitimately protracted) persecution,I did agree with the interrogator’s one-sided, promised proposal to act out an interview for therecord, in return for my immediate release. To perform in this interview, my interrogator madenotes and held them up to be articulated by me and to be taped by two other interrogatorssimultaneously. Accordingly, I had to make statements like “I agree that my activities were againstthe law and etc.” and despite their never-ending pressures, I resisted and refused to comply andconfess to the act of apostasy. Only after completion of this forged interview I realized that they notonly failed to fulfilled their two promises but also they had circulated and broadcasted the videothrough a variety of media (like via the 8:30 PM Channel 2 TV News), without my previousknowledge or concession, and creating an untruthful impression of me being a trickster andcharlatan in the public eye. By doing do and contrary to their early promises, they were engineer charges against my case even with malicious acts like fabrication of private complainants, or bymisusing this video the existing proof of my self-confession documents and attached it to the originalindictment file. 6- Leaving some blanks in my investigation question sheets by my interrogator, in a manner that theywould write the questions on a piece of scratch paper for me while forcing me to reply thosequestions in writing on my original investigation question sheets whose question sentences hadbeen removed and were blank. They told me they would themselves fill in the question sentenceslater. 7- Making you defenseless through various means such as: a- Prevention from visiting or contacting your lawyer, where regarding my defense case anddespite having two lawyers, I was never allowed to meet them. b- Intimidation of the lawyers. c- Deprivation of the right to organize and write down your defense during detention in jail. In this regard I sought the judge’s opinion, who requested from one of my interrogators; this latter investigator later on did not let me do so inside prison. d- No permission or access to writing accessories, pen, paper, etc. e- No permission to access or reply to the faked books presented to the court against me as my trial evidence documents. f- Intentional failure to present the court with the content of my own books, papers, CDs and lectures to further complicate the ambiguities and the charged accusations. 8- Provision of fraudulent contents and mock books to the court and against my case (apparently titledas critique on my books and papers) forged so as to persuade grand Ayatollahs to issue the verdict ofapostasy and etc., and finally presenting all this fabricated material to the court, without mypossibility to respond or defend my case against the accusations. 9- Making attempts to disrupt my family privacy and marital integrity by suggesting hypocriteambiguities and suspicions for my wife targeted to ruin my family bounds using very filthy and lousydeceits say: pressing me to accept practicing bigamous, faking such scenarios to prove so, etc., whileinvestigating my residence they asked my wife whether she was my first or second wife. This meanapproach of theirs is of course applied in every detainee’s case to trouble his family and maritalrelations. 10- Acquisition and presentation of phony inquiries provided by organizations, institutions, ministries,and etc. to the court. 11- Launch of sham and biased propaganda campaigns via various media resources attacking mypersonality and dignity with alleged and untruthful accusations. 12- Practicing mental and emotional pressures together with causing fear and intimidation foracquisition of forced and dictated confessions by means of physical force from other detainedpeople related to me pertaining to this case. I have personally witnessed and experienced havingbeen kicked at the side of my leg (thigh) and striking my chair, and likewise treating other detained defendants threatening them with abusive language and names, or corporal punishment if notcooperative. They kept shouting at us telling “You will not get released from prison unless/until youjot down what we tell you to” or making them generate forced confessions or accusations againstme to be rewarded with freedom. 13- Making ideological investigations and extensive inquisitions in the meantime of their investigations,interrogations and courtroom trials, depriving us of the right to study or read Quran or any otherreligious literature during detention. Mohammad Ali Taheri’s Letter addressed to Ahmed Shaheed 14- Delivering a very general and vague receipt for the confiscation of all the numerous personaldocuments and belongings seized, in one case: some sacks of paper. 15- Applying continued pressure for acquisition of false confessions on having affairs which isunexceptionally practiced against all the defendants. 16- Creating intimidation and tension for my wife to turn her in to run a dictated interview. 17- Putting my books, papers, journals and manuscripts into fire by my investigators with no legal decreeor warrant from the court. 18- Confiscation and seizure of my rings collection, documents and papers, photo albums and personal belongings with no legal decree or warrant from the court. 19- Humiliation, insult, slander and libel and threatening to beat me up. 20- Refusal and prevention from any family visits until one year after the (so called temporary)detention. 21- Faking security accusations like apostasy, blasphemy, an enemy of God, corruption on earth andinsults to the holey Prophet used as a legal pardon for making arrests and detention of liberal,influential and well-known figures among the people, and me for one. My arrest and detention wasmade under the wrong impression and baseless accusation of blasphemy issued in a ceremonial,orchestrated and pre-dictated trial just for the sake of formalities, behind closed doors, resulting to afive-year sentence conviction, to be served not in any regular detention facility but inside 2-Asecurity jail. Also by referring to some other false accusations and security phony pardons againstHalqeh Mysticism Institute of Culture & Art, like calling its activities pyramidal and affiliated withcults, they suppressed the ever peaceful community of Halqeh Mysticism’s fans, having themarrested and subject to various tensions so far. 22- Making baseless and groundless accusations with no evidence or supporting documents what soever, to suspend and keep the files in an always-open status facilitating their upcoming arrests easilyand any time desired. Similarly, for some fake scenarios as being affiliated with the Fadayian Iranmilitia members, or corruption on earth (blasphemy), etc. my case is kept yet open. Another reasonfor them to abuse this right of the detainee’s is providing them with an escape goat, where the defendants would never be able to file any cases against their false charges, illegal allegations andunjustifiable violations during trial and thus preventing the disclosure of such prevalent suppression,injustice and cruelty. In case any detainee wishes to publicize his/her opposition, automatically andimmediately one of the still-open charges would lead to his arrest and detention. 23- Attempts were made to order guided and private complainants for the mere purpose of misleadingand misguiding the public opinion. 24- Threats were made, if I do not cooperate/comply with them, to publicize over the net some privatevideos relating to me and the fans and members (of Halqeh Mysticism Institute of Culture & Art)taped secretly by the investigators; what turned out to be another dishonest deception and bluffsince nothing was ever shown to me. Mohammad Ali Taheri’s Letter addressed to Ahmed Shaheed 25- Possession of and abusing my family album photos by publishing some very private photos (not-veiled) of my wife and daughter over the net; besides some tailor-cut videos of my Institute activitiesfor a few seconds (where, in presence of a 400 people audience, I had to grab the wrist of a womanstudent who temporarily lost her balance due to illness), according to which the court ruled apunishment of 74 whips for the sin “illicit affair” for touching a non-intimate woman. 26- Collection, confiscation and concealment of all my personal, professional and backgrounddocuments and certificates of education, conscription, Halqeh Mysticism Institute, and etc. By notproviding theses already-existing documents to the court, a series of accusations were organized likeillegal activities for the institute, improper educational papers, etc. And consequently the lack ofaccess to such essential evidence during the trial. 27- Spending time in detention especial facility, inside 2-A security jail, preventing my transfer to aregular prison. 28- Total lockout and security boycott not to deprive me of any opportunity to present my case or replydefense through the media. 29- Preventing me from filing any cases against the violations and infringements committed by myinvestigators, interrogators, and etc. in any subsequent law courts, disregarding and despite myseveral attempts of hunger strike. 30- Criminalization of hunger strike attempts, thus cutting off and depriving me of using the phone andvisiting my family members, along with threats to reactivate my other still-open cases (harassing files– item 22 above), relocation to solitary confinement from double-cell once attempted hunger strikes(more than seven attempts of hunger strike during my detention so far). 31- During the initial courtroom trial, the judge’s disregard towards my criticizing complaints against theviolations and infringements committed by my investigators and interrogators. 32- Robbing and breaking into the office of Halqeh Mysticism Institute while during shut down by theinvestigators! 33- The interrogators and investigators’ assertions concerning the fact that the judge would decree thesentence according to their opinion and the verdict in the initial trial would be verified by the court of appeals as well.
