Human Rights Report on Akbar Amirzadeh Irani

Iranian Human Rights Activist Groups in EU and North America (IHRAG)

Evidence about the widespread, planned and systematic violation of Human Rights in Iran / July 2006









Fourteen months after Akbar Amirzadeh’s arrest and the concealment of his detention, Asia newspaper published one of the first public reports on the case, with a prominent front-page headline stating that “One of Iran’s greatest thinkers in the fields of employment and economics had been arrested.” 









The report, published in 2005, criticized the conduct of the government and security agencies toward economic managers and the private sector, and addressed the arrest of Akbar Amirzadeh Irani and the secrecy surrounding his condition.

After leaving Iran, he continued his work in human rights, refugee advocacy, political analysis, and documentation. In the Republic of Azerbaijan, he was involved in refugee-related cases, human rights documentation, and analysis of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s influence networks outside Iran, including work connected to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the United States Embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Sewed His Lips
He also sewed his lips shut on several occasions as an act of protest. Images of his lip-sewing protests in (Ward 209 of Evin Prison) and in (Rajai Shahr Prison) are not available due to security conditions and the control exercised by prison authorities. Only images of his lip-sewing protest in the Republic of Azerbaijan are available, as these were carried out in support of the Iranian and Afghan communities in front of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the Azerbaijani government.


Since 2010, in the United States,

he has continued his work in research, political analysis, documentation, and the exposure of political, economic, security, and collaborative networks connected to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Branch 28 of the Islamic Revolutionary Court of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Tehran, presided over by Judge Mohammad Moghiseh, accused Akbar Amirzadeh Irani of several charges, including acting against national security, founding and leading the “Iran Faryad Association,” propaganda against the regime, spreading false information, insulting officials, creating unrest in prison, and drafting a manifesto for overthrowing the regime.

Relying on reports from the Ministry of Intelligence and security bodies of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the court found him guilty under several charges and imposed separate punishments for each, ranging from imprisonment to deprivation of life, meaning execution.

The Islamic Revolutionary Court is widely regarded by many activists, organizations, and human rights bodies around the world as one of the main institutions responsible for human rights violations, suppression of freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and denial of fair trial rights in Iran. 


In many political and security-related cases, it has issued severe sentences, including death sentences, without respecting the fundamental rights of defendants or the principles of a fair trial.

Ultimately, the judgment imposed the harshest punishment on him based on the charges of Moharebeh and corruption on earth, through the alleged founding and leadership of the “Iran Faryad Association for Human Rights and Freedom of Expression” and other attributed activities. 

This judgment was never formally served on him and, according to him, was issued against him because he had exposed the hidden mechanisms of the ruling regime and its leadership. 

Among the published judicial documents concerning Akbar Amirzadeh Irani, an image of a summons issued by the judicial authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran can be seen, in which his name is listed.

Güney Azərbaycan Televiziyası (GünAz TV) | 63 people killed in protests in the place called Iran!

Gunaz.tv | During the demonstrations, 321 people were detained, of whom 209 were placed in a secret prison.























Amnesty International stated that the number of people killed during protest demonstrations held in Tehran after Iran’s presidential election had reached 15. According to a report by CNN Türk, Amnesty International said that although Iranian state radio reported the number of deaths as 7, the real figure was 15.

A representative of the organization stated that the deaths of 15 people had been confirmed, but it was not yet clear whether five of them were students.

Based on the identification card published by Amirzadeh Irani, during his residence in the Republic of Azerbaijan he was active in the field of refugee affairs under the title “Registration Assistant.” The card lists his position under the “Refugees” section and indicates that it was valid until 31 December 2010.

Based on the Sharp Grossmont Hospital report |  Akbar Amirzadeh Irani suffered an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) on March 24, 2014, which was associated with a thrombotic occlusion of the LAD artery. During this incident, he experienced cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation and was revived through CPR and electrical defibrillation.


From a medical standpoint, severe stress can act as a triggering or aggravating factor in cardiac events by increasing blood pressure, raising heart rate, stimulating the nervous system, and increasing the likelihood of blood clot formation. However, in this medical report, the primary documented cause is an acute myocardial infarction and blockage of a coronary artery.

According to medical records, he was resuscitated following a cardiac arrest and survived after receiving emergency treatment by specialist physicians.

However, according to information received by Anspress from Iran’s Anjomani Faryad party, the number of people killed in the demonstrations in Iran was many times higher than the official figures -
63 people. According to information provided by party official 
Akbar Amirzadeh Irani, so far 321 people had been detained during the protests, of whom 209 had been placed in a secret prison. The party official’s statement said that the post-election demonstrations reflected the will of all the Iranian people: “The failure of  Mir Hossein Mousavi to be elected is only a pretext for the Iranian people to begin their protests.”
