In a
barbaric and degrading act, henchmen of the clerical regime delivered 20 lashes
to Mr. Payman Nodinian, a member of the Kurdistan Teachers Association Board of
Directors. This savage punishment was carried out on March 2 in regime’s
“Justice” building in the city of Sanandaj. This Kurdish teacher was condemned
to prison and 20 lashes for “insulting a government agent during his round of
duty”. The plaintiff of this case was one of the elements of the regime who had
previously brought this same absurd allegation against other Kurdish teachers
as well. Mr. Payman Nodinian had previously been sent to exile to Zanjan
Province for two years because of his participation in the teachers’ protest in
2007. Other Kurdish teachers have also been placed under pressure for their
activities.
Ms.
Soheila Sadeq, Chair of the Education Committee of the National Council of
Resistance of
Iran, expressed her abhorrence of this savage and shameful act and insult to
the country’s teachers and stated: “A regime whose Minister of Justice is a
cold-hearted deathsman such as Mullah Pourmohammadi who has been a key element
of the massacre of 30000 political prisoners, and its ‘moderate’ President is
criminal Mullah Rouhani, can never set aside its gallows, torture, flogging,
cutting off hands and feet, gouging out eyes, and cutting off ears. This
atrocious trend shall only come to an end with the downfall of this regime by
the people’s uprising , especially by the students of Iran.”
