Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4This is the latest Amnesty statement regarding the treatment of Mahmoud Salehi. Full text at link.
Amnesty International, the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the
International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) are calling on the Iranian authorities to
immediately and unconditionally release Mahmoud Salehi, the former leader of the Saqez
Bakers’ Union, who was imprisoned in 2007 for the pursuit of legitimate trade union
activities.
He has reportedly been accused of ‘communicating with those outside prison for the
purposes of issuing messages of solidarity’ for other individual prisoners on hunger strike
and students facing arrest. The new charges appear intended to justify Mahmoud Salehi’s
continued detention beyond his scheduled 23 March 2008 release date, when he will have
completed a one year prison sentence.
Amnesty International, the ITUC and the ITF are concerned that the new charge may
have been brought against Mahmoud Salehi in response to the international mobilisation
on 6 March 2008 by trade unions and Amnesty International members around the world
to demand his release and that of his fellow trade unionist, Mansour Ossanlu (or
Osanloo).
Mahmoud Salehi is a prisoner of conscience and has long-term medical needs. A May
2007 request by his doctor that he be accorded specialist treatment outside the prison has
been ignored. He suffers from chronic kidney disease, as a result of which he requires
dialysis. He is also said to suffer from a heart disorder. In December 2007 it was reported
that he had grave intestinal edema or swelling that may be connected with his renal
disease. His health continues to be at serious risk, and he is reported to regularly
experience fainting episodes in prison as a result of blood pressure problems.
This report is from http://kdmahmodsalehi.blogfa.com It was translated by Yassamine Mather
Other articles in English are available at the site.
According to the Committee in Defense of Mahmoud Salehi, Mahmoud was transferred to court on March 29, 2008 where he presented his final defense regarding charges that he is facing. He was then taken back to the Sanandaj’s Prison.
Mahmoud’s family met him in court and once again asked him to stop his hunger-strike and informed him about all the requests and appeals, and solidarity hunger-strikes, in Iran and abroad thus convincing him to completely end his hunger strike.
Mahmoud who has finished his one year sentence as of March 23rd is facing new charges and his release has been on hold despite his serious illness. There have been numerous protests in Iran and abroad for his immediate and unconditional release.
Mahmoud Salehi was on a total (dry) hunger strike since March 17, 2008. He ended his dry hunger strike on March 24th after meeting with his wife and family members but immediately began a wet hunger strike. The Committee in Defense of Mahmoud Salehi reports that there are new charges against Salehi in addition to ‘communicating with those outside prison for the purposes of issuing messages of solidarity ...’ They are also charging Salehi in relaton to two incidents during which there were protests in prison agianst the quality and quantity of food and the prisoners’ refusal to eat as well a protest action by the prison’s inmate cleaners for a better weekly pay.

Here is the latest update on Mahmoud Salehi. He is still being detained despite the fact that his legal prison term ended on March 23, 2008. Full text at the link below.
Deputy Prosecutor of Kurdistan province vowed on April 2, 2008 not to release Mahmoud Salehi, said Samrand Salehi, Mr. Salehi’s son. According to Samrand Salehi, after requesting a letter from the central prison in Sanandaj assuring Mahmoud Salehi had ended his hunger strike and after rejecting a 40 million toman ($40000) bail that was set by the judge who is handling the new charges against Mr. Salehi, the Deputy Prosecutor of Kurdistan province, Mr. Amjadi vowed to not release Mahmoud Salehi as long as he holds office in Kurdisran’s Justice Department.
Samrand said that Mahmoud Salehi have not been receiving any medical treatment lately and his father’s health condition is deteriorating in prison. He said if the authorities in Kurdistan do not move towards mahmoud Salehi’s freedom in coming days, family and friends might stage a protest in front of the judiciary offices in Tehran.
