Iran: "Islamic Army" Threatens Death For 210 Journalists
In a report from Adnkronos International, a group calling itself the "Islamic Army" has stated it wants to eliminate 210 Iranian journalists. This list has recently been circulated in Tehran. All of the journalists named are those who have not been recognised by the new government of hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The prequel to the inventory of names states that the Islamic Army will liberate the Islamic Revolution of Ayatllah Khomeini which has been "taken hostage by the hacks who are in the service of the enemies of Islam". All those named thereafter are "worthy of death as much as enemies of Allah and his word".
This is not the first time that death-lists have been drawn up and circulated. Mashaollah Shamselvaezin, who founded the Association for Press Freedom in Iran yet is prevented from working as a journalist by Iran's judiciary, has said
"The regime uses many means to prevent us journalists from expressing ourselves freely, and these death threats are just one of them. While we still have judges such as Saiid Mortazavi who kills arrested journalists, like what happened to the photo journalist Zahra Kazemi, or locks them in a cell and throws away the key, as in the case of Akbar Ganji, this so-called Islamic Army does not really scare us."In Tehran, according to Adnkronos, the judiciary has continued its assaults on journalists. Six days before the list was first published, six journalists were summoned before Saiid Mortazavi and accused of disrespecting Islamic law.
On many occasions the journalists and writers have been condemed under charges of consuming alcohol or having relationships outside of marriage.And Ahmadinejad still thinks his regime is better than Israel?
