Free Jamal!

Call for immediate fundraising for Jamal Saberi!

2010-11-11T21:44:00.000Z

We thank all of you who helped to save Jamal from the danger of being deported to Iran and getting him out of detention in Japan. However, we wanted to inform you that Jamal urgently needs financial support.

When the Free Jamal Campaign was first informed about Jamal’s situation we contacted friends and supporters and were able to send Jamal some funds. Due to his immigration status Jamal is not allowed to work in Japan - this means he needs regular monthly financial support for his living expenses and also to be able to take legal action to get asylum in Japan or a safe 3^rd country.

Thus we are calling on you good people and progressive organisations who have helped us in the campaign so far to support Jamal financially.

You can send your donations to IFIR branches or donate via paypal to

Count me in - Iran http://countmein-iran.com/donate.html

Please specifiy in all cases that the donation is for Jamal Saberi. Please also drop us a quick line at freejamalcampaign@gmail.com to let us know that you have made a donation.

Jamal very much welcomes your continued support!

Warm wishes

Jamal is free!

2010-08-04T21:26:00.005+01:00

After months of an international struggle we can finally declare that Jamal Saberi has been released form detention in Japan today!

The first phase of the Free Jamal! Campaign - to prevent the deportation of Jamal to the Islamic Republic of Iran and to get him released from the horrible detention centre - ends successfully. Now we are focussing on getting Jamal refugee status and permanent residency.

This success would not have been possible without your help! Jamal’s friends in Japan, the Railway Workers Union in Japan, organisations such as "Mission Free Iran" and thousands around the world who helped us in this campaign – you all share this victory and our success. Congratulations to all of you! We also thank our members and officers of the International Federation of Iranian Refugees worldwide and the Worker-Communist Party Abroad Organisation who stood repeatedly outside Japanese embassies and consulates in various countries and who were negotiating with Japanese officials.

We have always considered ourselves part of a global effort to free all refugees who are in detention and denied their rights by governments such as Japan. This success of freeing Jamal is the base from which we continue the advanced and extensive task to realise the rights of refugees everywhere.

News about Jamal in June

2010-06-30T17:36:00.001+01:00

Jamal is still being held in detention and has applied for his release from detention a while ago. He is still waiting to hear...

In the meantime an Iranian newspaper is being delivered to Jamal in his cell in the detention centre, apparently from the Islamic regime's embassy in Tokyo. As Jamal had never asked for it he enquired with the authorities who said that all Iranian refugees are being send this newspaper. However when Jamal asked other Iranian detainees none of them has been receiving the newspaper. Jamal wonders whether this 'special treat' is some kind of message for him? How can the Iranian embassy staff in Tokyo know who is in detention in Tokyo in the first place?

Maybe because just as in 2004 when Jamal was also held in detention the Japanese authorities had passed on the details of Iranian asylum seekers to the Iranian authorities who had come to visit them in the detention centre. It is incomprehensible why anyone who has fled from a country and applied for asylum would want to see representatives of the very government they are fleeing from. Furthermore and worringly so, the Japanese authorities hand over personal details of asylum seekers to the Iranian authorities instead of protecting them. This must be a break of the law and people's rights on various levels. Then, without anywhere to go they are being forced to endure a visit by the very people they had fled from. Needless to say that with names, birth dates, background information and relatives' details the Iranian regime has more than enough to continue persecuting asylum seekers and their families, inside and outside of Iran. I wonder whether the Japanese authorities understand the idea behind asylum or whether they think their relationship with the Islamic regime of Iran is more important? And did Japan really think no one is going to find out?

I am refugee - I am not criminal! Give back our family/friends

2010-06-28T17:16:00.002+01:00

These were the slogans of a demonstration in Tokyo against the Japanese Immigration Bureau on the International Day of the Refugee on 20 June. It was organised by various groups and was so far the biggest protest yet in support of human rights for the refugees that are being held in the detention centres. The struggle of support groups, friends and families to get refugees out of the detention centres and to improve their overall situation continues. It received quite a bit of attention from the media as well.

Here are two videos from the rally

Thank you for 9 May!

2010-05-11T16:08:00.001+01:00

Dear Friends

A big THANK YOU to everyone who faxed (or emailed) their protest to the Japanese Ministry over the last weekend!

I guess the Japanese government understands now that we won't go away unless they cancel Jamal's deportation order and until he is safe as a refugee!

Unfortunately 9 May was also the day that 5 Iranian political prisoners were executed by the Islamic regime of Iran in Tehran. This makes it even more urgent to save Jamal and others like him from deportation to Iran.

Our campaign continues - thank you for your support!

9 mai : Envoyez des fax pour soutenir Jamal Saberi !

2010-05-07T16:28:00.000+01:00

Our call in French:

Appel de la campagne Free Jamal :
Envoyez des fax de protestation le 9 mai pour demander la libération de Jamal Saberi !
Envoyez des fax au ministère de la justice au Japon !

Cher(e)s ami(e)s,
Doro-Chiba (le Syndicat des Chemins de Fer électrique de Chiba) tiendra une conférence sur la situation des immigré(e)s et des réfugié(e)s au Japon et la législation à leur encontre le dimanche 9 mai. Il y sera lu un message de Jamal Saberi, le militant politique iranien actuellement en détention et menacé d’expulsion vers l’Iran. Dans le passé, Jamal Saberi avait participé plusieurs fois en tant qu’orateur à ces conférences sur les crimes du régime islamique d’Iran et en soutien aux ouvriers, aux femmes et militants des droits humains d’Iran. Cette fois, Jamal qui est actuellement détenu dans un centre de rétention à Tokyo n’a pu que transmettre un message à la conférence lorsque des membres du syndicat Doro-Chiba sont venus lui rendre visite en détention.

Il y a trois semaines, dans le même centre de rétention, une femme de 55 ans des Philippines est morte suite aux dures conditions de détention dans ce centre. Elle est la troisième personne qui y est décédée ces derniers mois.
Pour soutenir la conférence à Yokohama et pour protester contre le traitement barbare des réfugiés par le gouvernement japonais, la campagne Free Jamal vous appelle à envoyer vos fax de protestation au bureau du Ministère Japonais de la Justice le jour de la conférence, le 9 mai.

C’est quelque chose de simple à faire et qui peut avoir un énorme impact. Le Japon verra que les gens du monde entier sont contre son traitement brutal des réfugiés et des immigrés et cela montrera aussi aux autorités japonaises que nous sommes fermement derrière la lutte pour la libération de Jamal Saberi ! Merci, aussi, d’envoyer vos fax de protestation !

Il y aura également une manifestation devant l’ambassade japonaise à Washington (Massachusetts Ave NW) organisée par Mission Free Iran le dimanche 9 mai à 13 heures
Vous trouverez plus bas un modèle de lettre à faxer.

Fax du Ministère de la Justice du Japon : +81-3-3592-7393

A : Ministère Japonais de la Justice et à l’UNHCR du Japon

Je vous écris pour exprimer ma plus vive préoccupation concernant la situation de Jalal Amanzade Nouei (alias Jamal Saberi) qui est actuellement en détention à Tokyo et doit être expulsé du Japon vers l’Iran.
Monsieur Jalal Amanzade Nouei est un opposant politique célèbre de la République Islamique d’Iran qui est venu au Japon en 1990. En 1992, il a rejoint le Parti Communiste-Ouvrier d’Iran (PCOI). Monsieur Amanzade Nouei est devenu actif au sein du PCOI et de la Fédération Internationale des Réfugiés Iraniens (IFIR) ainsi que du Comité International Contre les Exécutions (ICAE) au Japon ces 18 dernières années, imprimant et distribuant la littérature du PCOI et écrivant plusieurs articles contre le régime islamique d’Iran qui ont été publié dans par magazines et des sites internet persans et japonais. Il a aussi organisé et participé aux principales activités contre le régime islamique d’Iran au Japon.

Son importante activité politique avec le PCOI, l’IFIR et l’ICAE et contre le régime islamique d’Iran a attiré l’attentio des autorités iraniennes.
Comme le stipule la convention de Genève sur les droits des réfugiés (1951), Monsieur Jalal Amanzade Nouei peut obtenir le statut de réfugié “sur place” en conséquence de ses propres actions politiques, comme son association avec le PCOI, l’IFIR et l’ICAE, et l’expression de ses positions politiques au Japon. Ses activités politiques ont attiré l’attention des autorités iraniennes.
Il est tout à fait connu que la République Islamique d’Iran a arrêté, emprisonné, torturé et assassiné des iraniens qui ont été forcés de retourner en Iran s’ils y ont quitté illégalement la République Islamique d’Iran, sont restés à l’étranger sans autorisation et/ou ont demandé l’asile dans un autre pays.
Je considère que le retour forcé de Jalal Amanzade Nouei en Iran comme une violation du principe de non-refoulement. Ce principe interdit le retour forcé d’une personne dans un pays ou sa vie ou sa liberté serait menacée. C’est un principe du droit coutumier international qui lie tous les Etats. Le Japon est membre de la Convention Internationale sur les Droits Civils et Politiques (PIDCP) qui interdit la torture, les peines et les traitements cruels, inhumains ou dégradants.

Monsieur Amanzade Nouei remplit clairement les critères pour être reconnu comme réfugiés selon les critères internationaux correspondants. Il a défendu et exprimé des opinions qui ne sont pas tolérées par les autorités iraniennes. Ses opinions et ses relations avec les organisation de l’opposition iranienne qui sont interdites en Iran ont attiré l’attention des autorités iraniennes. Sa vie ou sa liberté seront menacées s’il est renvoyé en Iran.
Je demande aux autorités japonaises de l’immigration de le libérer immédiatement et de reconsidérer sa décision et de lui garantir la reconnaissance du statut de réfugié sur la base de sa crainte tout à fait fondée d’être persécuté à cause de ses opinions politiques.

J’attends votre intervention immédiate pour cette situation de vie ou de mort. Il est inutile de dire que l’UNHCR et le gouvernement japonais seront considérés comme responsables de la vie et de la liberté de Jamal Saberi.

Sincèrement,
Signature + adresse

FAX your PROTEST - 9th May! Demand the release of Jamal Saberi!

2010-05-07T02:04:00.002+01:00

Fax the Ministry of Justice in Japan

Dear Friends!
The Doro-Chiba (National Railway Motive Power Union of Chiba) is holding a conference on Japan’s migrant and refugees’ situation and laws this Sunday 9 May. They will be reading a message from Jamal Saberi, the Iranian political activist who is currently in detention and in danger of being deported to Iran. In the past Jamal Saberi has attended several of these conferences as a speaker on the crimes of the Islamic Regime of Iran and in support of workers, women and human rights in Iran. This time however Jamal who is currently being held in a Tokyo detention centre was only able to send a message to the conference when members of the Doro-Chiba visited him in detention.

Three weeks ago, in that very same detention centre, a 55-year-old woman from the Philippines died as a result of the harsh conditions in the detention centre. She is the third person in as many months to die there.

In support of the conference in Yokohama and in protest at the barbaric treatment of refugees by the Japanese government the Free Jamal Campaign is asking you to send your protest FAX to the office of the Japanese Ministry of Justice on the day of the conference, 9 May.

It is an easy thing to do and will have a huge impact. Japan will see that people around the world are against its brutal treatment of refugees and immigrants and it will also show the Japanese authorities that we are firmly behind the struggle to free Jamal Saberi! So please FAX your protest!

There is also a demonstration in front of the Japanese embassy in Washington DC organised by Mission Free Iran on Sunday at 1pm at 2520 Massachusetts Ave NW.

Please find a sample letter to fax below.

Thank you!

International Federation of Iranian Refugees

Ministry of Justice Fax: +81-3-3592-7393

To: Japanese Ministry of Justice & UNHCR Japan
I am writing to express my strongest concern over the fate of Jalal Amanzade Nouei (aka Jamal Saberi) who is currently in detention in Tokyo and is going to be deported to Iran from Japan.

Mr. Jalal Amanzade Nouei is a well known political opponent of the Islamic Republic of Iran that came to Japan in 1990. In 1992 he joined the Worker-communist Party of Iran [WPI]. Mr. Amanzade Nouei has been politically active with the WPI and the International Federation of Iranian Refugees (IFIR) as well as the International Committee Against Executions (ICAE) for the past 18 years in Japan, including printing and distributing WPI literature as well as writing several articles against the Islamic regime of Iran, which have been published in Persian and Japanese magazines and websites. He also has organized and participated in major political activities against the Islamic regime of Iran in Japan.

His lengthy political activities with the WPI, IFIR, and ICAE and against the Islamic regime of Iran have come to the attention of the Iranian authorities.
As laid out in the Geneva convention on the Rights of Refugees (1951) Mr. Jalal Amanzade Nouei can become a refugee “sur place” as a result of his own political actions, such as associating with WPI, IFIR, ICAE and expressing his political views in Japan. His political activities came to the attention of Iranian authorities.
It is well known that the Islamic Republic of Iran has arrested, imprisoned, tortured, and killed Iranians who were forcibly returned to Iran if they had unlawfully departed from the Islamic Republic of Iran, had stayed abroad without authorization, and/or had applied for asylum in another country.

I consider the forcible return of Jalal Amanzade Nouei to Iran a violation of the principle of non-refoulement. This prohibits the forcible return of a person to a country where their life or freedom would be threatened. It is a principle of customary International Law, which binds all states. Japan is party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) which prohibits torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

Mr. Amanzade Nouei clearly fulfils the criteria to be recognised as a refugee as detailed in relevant international instruments. He holds and has expressed opinions not tolerated by the Iranian authorities. His opinions and his relationship to the Iranian opposition organizations which are banned in Iran have come to the attention of the Iranian authorities. He faces a threat to his life or liberty if refouled to Iran.
I urge the Japanese Immigration Authorities to immediately release him and to reconsider its decision and grant him refugee recognition based on his well-founded fear of persecution on the ground of political opinion.

I am awaiting your immediate intervention in this life-threatening situation. Needless to say, UNHCR and the Japanese government will be held accountable for Jamal Saberi's life and freedom.

Sincerely,

9 May meeting on Japan's treatment of refugees

2010-05-07T01:44:00.005+01:00

Here is the announcement of the Doro-Chiba (National Railway Motive Power Union of Chiba) about their 9th May conference. At the conference they will also read a message from Jamal Saberi:

The Free Jamal! Campaign - Call for financial help

2010-04-13T18:04:00.003+01:00

It has been just over a month since Iranian activist Jamal Saberi (real name Jalal Amanzadeh Nouei) was detained by the immigration authorities in Tokyo with the intention of deporting him to Iran. A few days after his detention the wheels had been put in motion and the Free Jamal! campaign had been launched by the International Federation of Iranian Refugees (IFIR). In the last four weeks we have been able to do a significant amount of work.

We have managed to put political and judicial obstacles in the way of Jamal’s deportation from Japan to Iran. From Toronto to London, from Berlin to Tokyo, people have come out to protest against the deportation and in support of Jamal’s release from detention. The Japanese government has been made aware of the heavy human and political consequences Jamal’s deportation would have. The danger of imminent deportation has decreased slightly; however, Jamal is still in detention, still in danger of being deported quickly, so there is no rest yet! The Ministry of Justice in Japan can very swiftly pass through to the final stages of deportation; the Japanese government can ignore the human and political consequences of deporting Jamal. The harsh reality that we are facing: Jamal is in a bad physical condition in a detention centre with awful conditions for asylum seekers.

We must keep the pressure up in order to free him and to get him refugee status in Japan or somewhere else safe.

All our efforts, the public outreach work, the demonstrations, the meetings, organising, the legal research and actions, the trip to Japan, the lobbying and the phone calls – all of this needs you financial help! So far we have been able to do our work based on personal resources and voluntary work. But without your immediate help, we cannot go on keeping up the pressure to fight for Jamal’s release. We need to have money in order to go forward, to continue and to be able to not only get Jamal released from detention but to find a safe place for him.

Mission in Japan: Amnesty, UNHCR...all on the case and latest photo of Jamal

2010-04-12T20:17:00.013+01:00

Farshad Hosseini had some extremely busy days before his mission in Japan for Jamal ended. On Wednesday 7 and Thursday 8 April he had several high profile meetings in a push to move Jamal’s case forward. He met with the leader of the Social Democratic Party and an MP, union leaders, anti-war movement leaders, UNHCR Japan and Amnesty International Japan.

He met Ms Mizohu Fukushima, Minister of State and leader of the Social Democratic Party and Mr Hattori Ryoichi, MP. Farshad discussed Jamal’s case with Ms Fukushima and she said that she would follow it up with the Minitstry of Justice and the immigration authorities.

Farshad also met with the deputy secretary of the National Union of Workers in Japan, Nakajima Hiroshi

and Mr. Ken Takada, leader of the widely known anti-war movement in Japan, organisers of the largest anti-war protest in Japan. Both promised to help free Jamal.

Farshad went to see the Shinji Kubo responsible for internal relations the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Japan.He talked to him in detail about Jamal’s situation and the inhumane treatment of the immigrantion authorities of Jamal. Farshad stressed that the UNHCR has been made aware of the violation of refugee conventions and international agreements by the immigration authorities. UNHCR has a duty to be sensitive aobut this issue and intervene immediately. UNHCR as an international observer organisation can and must advice the Japanese ministry of justice and the immigration authorities to recognise Jamal as a refugge and in case of refusal, UNHCR must find another way to transfer Jamal to to a another safe country and take urgent action. Mr Kubo said that UNHCR in Japan cannot take any action outside the framework of Japanese law as Japan accepts refugees and is in charge of issuing refugee status. However given the circumstances of Jamal UNHCR will try to advise the Japanese government regarding Jamal's specific case.

Farshad also met with the general director of Amnesty International in Japan, Mr Makoto Teranaka and the refugee secretary of Amnesty Ms Hiroka Shoji. Farshad talked to them in detail about Jamal's case and stated that he expects Amnesty as an organisation for Human Rights' laws to to act on behalf of Jamal and to put pressure on the Ministry of Justice and the immigration authorities so that they accept Jamal as a refugee. Mr Teranaka said that Amnesty is aware of Jamal's case and that he had also visited Jamal in detention. He said that Amnesty is trying for his asylum status but that they would need more information regarding similar cases in Iran where people have been prosecuted. By referring to these kind of cases, Amnesty could prove the Iranian government is prosecuting activists from abroad. Farshad is going to follow this up and send Amnesty Japan materials, but if anyone has information on this please get in touch with us and we will forward it. At the end of their meeting they had a good discussion on how to make the Free Jamal! campaign more effective.

Farshad had also numerous interviews with journalists from newspapers who interviewed him about Jamal’s situation and the human rights situation in Iran.

On Thursday evening Farshad was invited to speak at the activists and young supporters of the Free Workers' Union of Japan seminar. He spoke about the current revolution in Iran and the situation and developments since the revolution in 1979. After the seminar Farshad talked about Jamal's case. An open discussion followed in which ideas on how to extend the Free Jamal! campaign in Japan with the support of unions were discussed

Last but not least Farshad went to see Jamal again in detention. Here is Jamal's photo (taken secretly) from behind the glass screen that separates him from his visitors.

Farshad has now returned from his mission in Japan and is following up on the promised actions by the many people his has met there, so watch this space for more news from Japan.

Iran Solidarity Melbourne Free Jamal protest 16 April

2010-04-07T14:48:00.003+01:00

Dear Human Rights Activists
As you are aware, the Islamic Republic continues to openly arrest, torture and execute political activists within its borders. What you may not be aware of is that the Islamic regime has been seeking international assistance in capturing and silencing anti-regime activists living abroad. In a move that has surprised many of us, we have learned that the Japanese government is supporting the Islamic Republic’s efforts by initiating deportation procedures against prominent Iranian dissident and human rights activist Jamal Saberi (Jalal Amanzadeh Nouei), a resident of Japan for the past 20 years.

Japan’s effort to forcibly return an Iranian political activist constitutes a violation of the international principle of non-refoulement, which prohibits forcibly returning a person to a country where their life or freedom would be threatened. Mr. Saberi has a well-founded fear of persecution by the Islamic regime: if he is returned there is no question that he, like all other dissidents who fall into the hands of this regime will be detained, tortured, and likely executed. He therefore warrants recognition as a political refugee and merits protections under UN agreements on the Status of Refugees, to which Japan is a signatory.

The Saberi case has global implications: If Japan flouts human rights standards and international principles on the status of refugees, consequences for refugees worldwide will be dire. We consider especially the impact of Japan’s actions on thousands of new Iranian refugees surviving precariously in Turkey, which has in the past violated the principle of non-refoulement and has begun systematic though unofficial persecution of this new wave of Iranian refugees.

If the Japanese government delivers Saberi into the hands of the Islamic Republic, Japan will be held responsible not only for Saberi’s inevitable torture and execution in Iran, but for setting a barbaric and inhumane precedent that will have dire consequences for all of the world’s asylum-seekers.

We hope that Human Rights activists in Australia will join with the global movement that demands that Saberi be freed and recognized as a refugee from a murderous government, and as a human being.

We are demanding that the Japanese government adhere to its international and domestic legal commitments to the principle of non-refoulement, release Saberi from prison, stop the deportation proceedings, and grant Mr. Saberi the refugee status that he has long ago applied for. To this end, Iran Solidarity Melbourne is organising a protest action outside the Japanese Consulate in Melbourne, 360 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne, on Friday the 16th of April. We invite all those who support the rights of refugees and asylum seekers to show their support by joining us at this protest.

More significant support for Jamal in Japan!

2010-04-07T13:55:00.008+01:00

Japan report 6 April 2010
Today was another busy and successful day for Farshad Hosseini on his mission in Japan. He met with representatives of the Japanese Railway Workers' union, International Workers Solidarity and the Refugee Support Network in Japan today.

Farshad met with Mr Tanaka Yasuhiro, the president of Doro-Chiba (National Railway Motive Power Union of Chiba), Mr Yamamoto, the secretary treasurer of International Labor Solidarity Committee of Doro-Chiba, Mr Seto and Mr Tazaki as well as Ms Sogame from the Refugee Support groups.Farshad Hosseini asked for support from the trade unions and organisations for Jamal as a symbol and representative of the opposition and revolution against the Islamic regime of Iran.

The TU representatives stated that they know Jamal and that he has been their link with Iran and the opposition there. They promised to use all their resources including international links to make sure that Jamal is supported.

This is a significant boost to the free Jamal campaign!

Farshad also met with Mrs Noriko Watanabe, Jamal's solicitior and discussed Jamal's case in detail and ways of supporting his case. Mrs Watanabe stated that the campaign to free Jamal has helped to temporarily stop the deportation of Jamal, but the Ministry of Immigration could speedily refuse Jamal’s case and deport him. She stated that the Immigration officials believe that the ‘supposed danger to Jamal is political propaganda’ and 'no danger awaits him'. She also stated that the most probable route is political for Jamal rather than legal, or it may be possible to facilitate to transfer him to another country.Mrs Watanabe has asked that all correspondance and support be copied to her directly to be added to his case as supporting documents.

Farshad has also tried to contact the Ministry of Immigration, they have refused to see him but have confirmed that they are aware of his case. Farshad is planning to see UNHCR and Amnesty International.

Free Union of Workers in Japan supports Jamal!

2010-04-06T13:41:00.002+01:00

Japan report 5 April 2010

Our man in Japan Farshad Hosseini is busy meeting and lobbying in Tokyo on behalf of Jamal. Today he met with the Free Union of Worker’s in Japan and its president Mr Yagamachi. Mr Yagamachi said that Jamal Saberi is well-known to the union and its members as a political activist and that they have had many meetings with Jamal. He said that Jamal was very active on behalf of the people of Iran and he was like an ‘ambassador’ for workers in Japan.

Farshad was invited to speak at the executive committee member’s meeting where he spoke about the uprisings in Iran and the demands of the people there. He then spoke about Jamal and his situation in the detention centre. All members of the Executive Committee of the union agreed to wholeheartedly support Jamal and the Free Jamal! campaign and to save him from deportation. One of the first tasks would be to get other unions and organisations, like the National Union of Japan, on board. They also made a financial contribution to the campaign of 50,000 Yen (about £350.00).

Farshad will be speaking at a member’s meeting of the Free Union of Worker’s in Japan on Thursday 8 April about
‘Revolution in the context of the labour movement’. He is also still trying to be seen at the Ministry of Justice in Tokyo.

Report and video from London protest

2010-04-02T17:30:00.002+01:00

We gathered at 4 opposite the Japanese embassy. There is a big four lane road between us and the security staff of the embassy who kept his eyes on us all the time. A big road that brings plenty of people along to find out about Jamal. At first we stand quietly with our banner and placards. Then we started using the loudhailer; it is strong enough to get across the road and down the road, despite the traffic. As soon as we started to speak the security staff at the embassy moved into action and after a couple of minutes the police arrived. They had a brief conversation with the staff and left. I guess the police informed them about our freedom of speech, even with a loudhailer. The nice thing that happened once we started using the loudhailer was that many people stopped and listened to what we had to say about Jamal and his situation in Japan. A human rights lawyer from Japan talked to us and offered support. Others expressed their support as well. We chanted slogans like: Deportation to Iran is execution by Japan! which we had also painted onto the banner. We also chanted: Shame on Japan! One of us went in front of the embassy to distribute leaflets about Jamal and got rid of all of them. Some people already knew about Jamal’s case. All in all a handful of people with a strong loudhailer can make a huge difference! We hope that the Japanese embassy and the Japanese government realise that we are indeed making their treatment of Jamal and other refugees in Japan very public. Last week we went to the embassy for an appointment with embassy staff and this week we chose to stay outside to let the public know too what is happening. I think it was a good decision.

Mission in Japan report, Wednesday 31 March

2010-03-31T20:19:00.003+01:00

Our man in Japan, Farshad Hosseini has had indeed eventful days since his arrival in Tokyo on Monday.
First of all he met several of Jamal's friends and supporters in Tokyo and had a long meeting with them to discuss their plans.

Today was very busy with protests and press conferences:

12 noon: Farshad attends the first protest outside the immigration detention headquarters in Tokyo where Jamal is held. More than 50 people participated in the protest, which was organised by friends and supporters of Jamal and other human rights activists. There were Japanese and English language banners in support of asylum seekers. Many journalists and cameracrews had come to report on the protest.

Simultaneously there was a protest of hundreds of detainees with protest signs from inside the building against the immigration authorities' treatment of refugees and the issues in the detention centres. Three Japanese human rights activists went into the building and met with immigration authorities to discuss the situation of the detained refugees.

3pm: Farshad went to the UN’s offices where special rapporteur Jorge Bustamante's press conference was held. Farshad reports that Mr Bustamante’s finding of the situation of migrants in Japan indicates that there are indeed serious issues that need to be addressed by the Japanese government, but more to come on this.

At the press conference Farshad gave a report on Jamal's situation. He afterwards spoke to Mr Bustamante in more detail and was interviewed by several journalists on Jamal’ situation and in connection with this the huma rights situation in Iran
.
4pm: Second protest of the day in front of the Ministry of Justice building.

CGT Union in France in support of Jamal

Pascal Descamp on behalf of the CGT Union for the workers of ADDSEA in France sent the following letter to the Japanese ambassador in Paris and to the consul in Strasbourg. In the letter they draw attention to the ongoing human rights violations of the Islamic regime of Iran and demand that Jamal Saberi be released, his deportation order revoked and he be granted refugee status.

Votre Excellence,

Jalal Ahmadzade-Nouei, alias Jamal Saberi,militant politique opposant au régime islamique en Iran a été arrêté par la police japonaise pour être expulsé vers l’Iran.
Jamal Saberi a quitté l’Iran en 1990 et il est depuis 1992 membre du Parti Communiste-Ouvrier d’Iran, un virulent parti d’opposition à la République Islamique. A ce titre, Jamal Saberi a participé à de nombreuses campagnes et écrit plusieurs articles en persan et en japonais pour défendre les droits humains en Iran et contre la République Islamique d’Iran.
Il est inutile de développer longuement les risques auxquels devrait faire face Jamal Saberi, opposant connu de la République Islamique et militant du Parti Communiste-Ouvrier d’Iran, s’il était expulsé. Tous les rapports des organisations de défense des droits humains démontrent en effet que le gouvernement iranien continue de violer les droits humains les plus fondamentaux sans qu’il n’y ait le moindre signe d’amélioration. Ces abus systématiques incluent les assassinats extrajudiciaires et les exécutions sommaires, la généralisation de l’utilisation
de la torture et d’autres traitements dégradants, les arrestations et détentions, l’absence de procès équitables, et de terribles conditions carcérales.
Une expulsion de Jamal vers l’Iran signifierait au minimum son emprisonnement et des tortures, si ce n’est une condamnation à mort. Nous demandons donc aux autorités japonaises de libérer immédiatement Jamal Saberi, d’annuler l’ordre d’expulsion et de lui accorder l’asile politique.

Nous vous remercions de bien vouloir transmettre notre demande aux autorités japonaises.

In addition to our automatic service of sending a protest letter, we now also have a petition online. You can sign it here

and here is the petition text:

To: Japanese Ministry of Justice & UNHCR Japan

I am writing to express my strongest concern over the fate of Jamal Saberi (Jalal Ahmadzade-Nouei) who is currently in detention in Tokyo and is going to be deported to Iran from Japan.

Jamal Saberi is a well-known political opponent of the Islamic Regime of Iran and has been a human rights activist for 18 years in Japan. Jamal Saberi’s safety and life would be in danger if he were to be returned to Iran.

Japan’s effort to forcibly return an Iranian political activist constitutes a violation of the international principle of non-refoulement, which prohibits forcibly returning a person to a country where their life or freedom would be threatened.

Jamal Saberi has suffered two heart attacks while he was previously detained in Japanese detention centres.

I urge the Japanese Immigration Authorities to immediately release him and cancel his deportation order. Mr. Saberi has a well-founded fear of persecution by the Islamic regime. He warrants recognition as a political refugee and merits protections under UN agreements on the Status of Refugees, to which Japan is a signatory.

I am awaiting your immediate intervention in this life-threatening situation. Needless to say, UNHCR and the Japanese government will be held accountable for Jamal Saberi's life and freedom.

Sincerely,

Sunday protest in Washington

Letter to Consulate in Boston

2010-03-25T09:17:00.002Z

This is James Miller's letter to the Japanese Consulate in Boston:

To the Honorary Consul General of Japan, Mr. Gregory A. Boyko, and the Consulate-General of Japan in Boston,

I am writing you on behalf of prominent Iranian dissident and human rights activist Jamal Saberi (Jalal Amanzadeh Nouei), a resident of Japan for the past 18 years. I understand that he is not a legal resident of Japan, and he is facing deportation, however sending this man back to Iran is likely a death sentence. This would be in violation of Japanese and international law. Japan’s effort to forcibly return Saberi violates the principle of non-refoulement: “no refugee should be returned in any manner whatsoever to any country where he or she would be at risk of persecution.” Japan has signed the Convention and Protocol on the Status of Refugees, where this principle in enshrined.

Mr. Saberi is a well known, vocal, and published critic of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Iranian regime has a history of imprisoning or executing voices of dissent, and this has never been more true than within the last year.

The Japanese people are a peaceful, honorable people, whom I have always held in the highest regard. Please grant Mr. Saberi refugee status, which he deserves under UN convention, or find another option besides deportation to Iran.

Sincerely,

James Miller

Open letter to Japanese people

2010-03-25T08:04:00.000Z

Please read the Open Letter to the Japanese people by Maria Rohaly from Mission Free Iran:

Dear Friends in Japan,

As you are aware, the Islamic Republic continues to openly arrest, torture and execute political activists within its borders. What you may not be aware of is that the Islamic regime has been seeking international assistance in capturing and silencing anti-regime activists living abroad. In a move that has surprised many of us, we have learned that the Japanese government is supporting the Islamic Republic’s efforts by initiating deportation procedures against prominent Iranian dissident and human rights activist Jamal Saberi (Jalal Amanzadeh Nouei), a resident of Japan for the past 20 years.

Japan’s effort to forcibly return an Iranian political activist constitutes a violation of the international principle of non-refoulement, which prohibits forcibly returning a person to a country where their life or freedom would be threatened. Mr. Saberi has a well-founded fear of persecution by the Islamic regime: if he is returned there is no question that he, like all other dissidents who fall into the hands of this regime will be detained, tortured, and likely executed. He therefore warrants recognition as a political refugee and merits protections under UN agreements on the Status of Refugees, to which Japan is a signatory.

The Saberi case has global implications: If Japan flouts human rights standards and international principles on the status of refugees, consequences for refugees worldwide will be dire. We consider especially the impact of Japan’s actions on thousands of new Iranian refugees surviving precariously in Turkey, which has in the past violated the principle of non-refoulement and has begun systematic though unofficial persecution of this new wave of Iranian refugees.

By this open letter, we are making a citizen-to-citizen request of the Japanese people to demand that their government adhere to their international and domestic legal commitments to the principle of non-refoulement, release Saberi from prison, stop the deportation proceedings, and grant Mr. Saberi the refugee status that he has long ago applied for.

If the Japanese government delivers Saberi into the hands of the Islamic Republic, Japan will be held responsible not only for Saberi’s inevitable torture and execution in Iran, but for setting a barbaric and inhumane precedent that will have dire consequences for all of the world’s asylum-seekers.

We hope that the Japanese people will join with the global peoples’ movement that demands that Saberi be freed and recognized as a refugee from a murderous government, and as a human being.

Sincerely,
Maria Rohaly
Mission Free Iran

Visit to the Japanese embassy in London

2010-03-24T23:59:00.000Z

At a follow-up visit to the Japanese embassy in London today, Bahram Soroush (IFIR) and myself saw First Secretary of the embassy Mr Yokote.

He told us that he had contacted the Japanese immigration authorities who are part of the Ministry of Justice in Japan to enquire about Jamal’s case and he said that the ‘experts on Iran’ saw no compelling reason not to deport Jamal. We explained to him the extent of Jamal’s political activities in the public and the danger he faces if he were to be returned to Iran. We talked at length about the human rights situation in Iran and Mr Yokote assured us that the Japanese government is aware and concerned about the situation. He vehemently denied any underhand dealings with the Iranian regime or any kind of pressure that Japan might be under from Iran. He stressed that Japan is not like Iran and that Japan is a democratic country.

However, the only advice he had for us was to complain via the official channels in Japan. We asked him to relay our demands for Jamal to the Japanese government. We also informed him about the global day of action for Jamal and announced our presence in front of the embassy on 31 March.

Patty Debonitas, London, 24 March 2010

Global Day of Action Wednesday 31 March 2010

2010-03-23T14:22:00.004Z

Global Day of Action against the anti-refugee policies of the Japanese government 31 March 2010

The Free Jamal! campaign announces 31 March 2010 a Global Day of Action against Japanese anti-refugee policies to coincide with the end of UN Special Rapporteur Jorge Bustamante’s mission to observe the human rights situation of migrants in the country and his scheduled press conference on that day in Tokyo.

Free Jamal! calls on all members and supporters of the campaign to hold demonstrations in front of Japanese embassies and consulates on 31 March to express their strongest objection at the Japanese government’s treatment of refugees.

Free Jamal! supports the struggle and the demands of thousands who are detained in the prisons of the Japanese Immigration Authorities and are highlighting the treatment of Jamal Saberi - a well-known women, worker and human rights’ activist for the people of Iran - by the Japanese Ministry of justice as a clear example of the unjust behaviour by the Japanese government towards refugees.

Free Jamal! demands the immediate release of Jamal Saberi, the repeal of his deportation order and that Japan must grant him refugee status.

Special representative of the Free Jamal! campaign, Farshad Hosseini, will be present in Tokyo next week to support the Global Day of Action locally.

The Japanese government and its Ministry of Justice should be aware that the whole world is watching their misbehaviour towards refugees and migrants, including Jamal Saberi who has been at the frontline of defending refugee rights in Japan for 18 years.

On 31 March Japanese officials will recognise that intending to deport Jamal Saberi as well as any underhand dealings with the Islamic Republic of Iran will be exposed and will cost Japan dearly as a consequence. The Free Jamal! campaign with all its members and supporters are determined to free Jamal Saberi and to realise all demands.

To whom this may concern:

Mr. Jamal Saberi is a valuable member of Japanese society, having contributed for many years in social and political work. Since 1992, he has been an active member of the Worker-Communist Party of Iran, printing and distributing WPI literature as well as writing several articles against the Islamic regime of Iran, published in both Persian and Japanese magazines and websites.

His political dedication towards denouncing the oppressive Iranian regime both support International condemnation of Iran’s conduct towards opposition parties as well as civilians, and in so doing, has also come to be a threat to this very regime. It is well documented that his deportation to Iran could result not only in torture but in his very death.

As an organization that opposes the inhumane deportation of political activists around the world, No One Is Illegal Toronto urges the Japanese Government to uphold UNHRC protocol of Human Rights and both cancel his deportation order as well as grant him the Refugee Asylum status he has applied for since May 10, 2001. Supporting the International Federation of Iranian Refugees, NOII-Toronto considers the forcible return of Iranian political activists to be a violation of the principle of non-refoulement. This principle prohibits the forcible return of a person to a country where their life or freedom would be threatened and is binding upon all states. Japan is a party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) which prohibits torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

No One Is Illegal-Toronto recognizes the immediate threat to Mr. Jamal Saberi’s life, an undeniable consequence should he be deported to Iran. We, as members of a broad network of international immigrant and activist rights groups, urge the Japanese government to uphold its obligations under the United Nation’s Human Rights Charter and grant Mr. Saberi immediate Asylum status.

Report of Jamal Saberi Campaign in Toronto

2010-03-21T21:42:00.002Z

This is the report from Mehran Mahbobi of the Toronto campaign visit to the Japanese consulate on 19 March 2010:

We went to the Japanese Consulate today, 19 March 2010, for the case of Jamal Saberi. We took informational materials from the International Federation of Iranian Refugees (IFIR) and a letter from No One is Illegal to protest Jamal’s detention with intent to be deported to Iran.

Mr. Koga from the Japanese Consulate invited us to sit down and talk, but tried to make us forget about Jamal and just amuse us with anything else except Jamal Saberi. He did not let us take pictures or film. He interrupted our colleagues any time they tried to talk about Jamal Saberi. But we were able to make ourselves clear about the case and what we are doing at the end.

We gave them a deadline of Monday March 22 to get response from Japan. Mr. Koga said there might be no response at all. I said no response is also a response, and we shall look forward for that too. I also said that to be deported and sentenced to execution by IRI is one thing, and this killing process that the Japanese authorities have done to Jamal, who has had two heart attacks by the age of 42, with a third one on the way, is also another thing. I called that a killing process that they have done to Jamal Saberi and all other Iranian Refugees especially, and mentioned that we know there are more than 300 Iranian dissidents in jail in Japan right now and all of them have applied for refugee status with no answer.

At the end, he tried to put us off from trying more just because there might be probably no answer from Japan at all. As I warned them that we would be there every day till Jamal is free, especially while his health situation is critical and might have third heart attacks after two other ones because of the hardship he has been through in Japan. He was illegally living there with so much pressure from underpaid work and trying to be active against the Islamic Republic for 20 years at the same time. I said to them if there would be other heart attacks and because of that he dies of it, that would be counted as a criminal act directly by Japanese government and we shall pursue it through International Court. He then said he would try to contact the justice minister and police authorities to pass on all information he got from us. He wanted to explain more about formality and asked us for more time but we said we shall be back on a daily basis till Jamal is free and we have to go now which we did and he promised if he gets any news from Japan he would contact us by telephone and let us know.

We were three gentlemen: Iraj Rezai, chairman of IFIR in east of Canada; Mohamad Kazemi as member of “No One Illegal” and IFIR, and I, Mehran Mahbobi, a freelance video clip taker and a refugee member of IFIR.

Iranian activist detained and in danger of imminent deportation to Iran

The International Federation of Iranian Refugees (IFIR) has set up the Free Jamal! 2010 campaign to save the Iranian activist Jamal Saberi (Jalal Amanzadeh Nouei) from deportation to Iran.

IFIR today urged the Japanese government to release Jamal Saberi (Jalal Amanzadeh Nouei) immediately and to revoke his deportation order.

Jamal Saberi (Jalal Amanzadeh Nouei) is a 42-year-old, Iranian born, activist who is a public and outspoken opponent of the theocratic regime in Iran. In 1990 he moved to Japan and since 1992 he has been active in opposing the Islamic Republic of Iran publicly. His political activities and promotion of human rights had brought him to the attention of the Islamic Republic’s authorities. Thus Mr Saberi applied for political asylum in Japan in May 2001 which was refused in May 2002. IFIR was informed by Mr Saberi’s lawyer that he was arrested and detained by the Japanese Immigration Authorities on 4th March 2010 with the intention of deporting him to Iran.

Abdolah Assadi, Executive Director of IFIR said in a statement: ‘We are trying our best to rally the public opinion against the Japanese government and its blatant violation of Jamal’s human rights. We, therefore, hereby declare that as far as we are concerned the Japanese government will be responsible for any harm that, we have no doubt, will jeopardize Jamal Saberi’s life and/or safety.’

The Free Jamal! campaign has organised a day of lobbying Japanese embassies and consulates around the world for Monday, March 15. Its automated online service has already been used by over 400 people to send a letter of protest to the Japanese Ministry of Justice and the UNHCR representation in Japan. In addition several hundred people have sent protest letters to Japanese embassies and consulates across the world.

Free Jamal! campaign organiser Patty Debonitas said today: ‘It’s unbelievable that after having seen what happens to opponents inside Iran anyone would even consider returning someone like Mr Saberi, with his very public profile of opposition, to Iran. People across the world were able to witness the human rights abuses by the Islamic Republic, particularly over the last ten months. I wonder how the Japanese authorities can think it in any way safe or justifiable to return Mr Saberi to Iran. This would no doubt mean certain threat to his life and safety.’

The Free Jamal! campaign has set three goals for its campaign. It wants to get Mr Saberi out of detention immediately and get his deportation order revoked. Patty Debonitas: ‘The next step will be helping him obtaining and leading a normal life. Mr Saberi has been in Japan for twenty years and has applied for asylum 9 years ago. It is time he can feel safe and protected by granting him refugee status.’

International Federation of Iranian Refugees call

2010-03-10T11:34:00.002Z

To Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and defenders of refugee rights across the world

Jalal Ahmadzade-Nouei, alias Jamal Saberi, political activist opposing the Islamic regime in Iran, has been arrested by the Japanese police to be deported to Iran.

Jalam Saberi left Iran for Japan in 1990. In 1992 he joined the Worker-communist Party of Iran (WPI), and began his party-political activities in Japan against the violation of human rights in Iran. As a member of WPI, an ardent Iranian opposition party, Jamal wrote many articles against Islamic Republic of Iran, in particular, as well as political Islam, in general. He also wrote articles exposing Japan’s diplomatic relations with the Iranian regime. Several of his writings have appeared in the Japanese press as well as Iranian publications such as Hambastegi (organ of the International Federation of Iranian Refugees – IFIR) and Javanan-e Komonist (organ of Communist Youth Organization). He applied for refugee status in Japan on May 28, 2002. His application was turned down by the Immigration Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of Justice on March 28, 2002. He appealed this decision in April of the same year. The appeal was rejected, and the Japanese police issued an order for his arrest and deportation. Jamal was arrested in late October 2003 and transported to the Immigration Bureau’s detention center, where he was kept for one year. By the time he was arrested Jamal had become a popular human rights activist among the Left organizations, human rights organizations and the trade unions. So, naturally, his detention was protested by several such organizations, which finally succeeded in preventing his deportation.

Yet the Japanese government never accepted Jamal as a refugee, nor did the UNHCR made any efforts to assist such a well-known figure. Now, Jamal’s lawyer has said that this time he is in danger of being deported to Iran.

There are many human rights organizations that are well acquainted with Jamal Saberi’s political background in fighting the Islamist regime in Iran. Since his joining WPI in 1992, Jamal has organized and led tens of rallies and demonstrations against violation of human rights in Iran. These Jamal’s activities are well documented in Japan, and many human rights organizations are familiar with his name as a remarkable active opponent of the Iranian regime. Last year he even received threats from the Iranian thugs, aka diplomats, in Japan. These facts go to show Jamal’s present political situation and the imminent perils that threaten his life.

We are now writing to relay the news of Jamal’s detention by the Japanese police and give voice to his protest at international level. We are trying our best to rally the public opinion against the Japanese government and its blatant violation of Jamal’s human rights. We, therefore, hereby declare that as far as we are concerned the Japanese government will be responsible for any harm that, we have no doubt, will jeopardize Jamal Saberi’s life and/or safety.

The murderous Islamist regime in Teheran is now eagerly awaiting Jamal’s return to Iran as a prey. Jamal is now sitting on deportation row in Japan. Let us not allow the Japanese government to deport him back to Iran so that the tyrannical regime Islamist regime can put him against the wall as it has done in the case of tens of thousands of the most honorable people before him. We, at the International Federation of Iranian Refugees, urge all organizations that receive this letter to take immediate action to save Jamal Saberi from deportation to Iran. We request that they expressly demand that the Japanese government release Jamal from jail, revoke his deportation order, and take appropriate measures to protect his life in Japan.

Sincerely,

Abdollah Asadi
Secretary,
IFIR
