What will happen to Pegah now?

Roberto Malini - EveryOne Group | 07-09-2007 15:39 | Gender | Migration | Sheffield

Unfortunately it is easy to read the minds of Gordon Brown and
Jacqui Smith in this moment. They are angry because the problem
of the arbitrary and unjust deportations has come to light.
I hope I'm wrong, but the history of persecution generally repeats
a pattern. I believe the UK Government is once again studying
a way to refuse Pegah asylum...

What the case of Pegah Emambakhsh teaches us

The case of Pegah Emambakhsh has revealed that Europe has abandoned a long time ago the road of the respect for human rights. The fear for the fight between the different culture and the suspiciousness towards the others has slowly sunk our civilisation in a cultural and social swamp. People see enemies everywhere. The values of the freedom have been replaced from those - ambiguous and dangerous - of the security.

Yorkshire Development Agency given a lesson about flooding

Yorkshire Forward, Yorkshire's Regional Development Agency which famously starves grass roots community initiatives of funds whilst giving millions to big business, today held a flooding "summit". The summit was closed to local people, and attempted to airbrush climate change from the story. Locals turned up anyway to make the truth known.

Can Human Rights Survive the "War on Terror"?

Attached is an audio recording of a public meeting held in Sheffield on 1st September 2007 which was addressed by Stephanie Harrison, a Human Rights Lawyer dealing with those targetted by the anti terrorist legislation and Mohammed Abdulmalik, president of Libya Watch, a Human Rights Organisation.

The case of Pegah Emambakhsh and the new frontiers of Human Rights

It is now time to reflect and remain calm. Pegah’s case could become a symbol and help all governments to shed light on this delicate priority which is so essential for the safeguarding of human rights. The horrors of history, genocides and holocausts emerge slowly and develop when indifference reigns or when human rights are forgotten or ignored by the authorities. We are all watchdogs of the respect for human rights and each and every one of us – as Mark Twain wrote – is a patriot and represents his own country when it fights for the observance of what one believes is right, even if he is the last person to see where Truth and Justice lie.

At the end of this year, 70 years of history will be demolished. The death of 'Salt and Pepper' looms like a dark mushroom cloud over Sheffield. What the nuclear bomb could not manage in Threads, e-on are going to do and demolish the Cooling Towers.

Pegah Emambakhsh, the United Kingdom review the case, Italy offers asylum

Roberto Malini - Matteo Pegoraro - Gruppo EveryOne | 25-08-2007 22:16 | Gender | Migration | Sheffield

Italy declares to be available to receive Pegah, granting her asylum. Roberto Malini, Matteo Pegoraro, Dario Picciau and Steed Gamero of the EveryOne Group have yesterday met the agents-general of the United Kingdom at the British Embassy in Italy.
"The First Minister Gordon Brown is paying particular attention to the case of the Iranian refugee", they have assured, “and we're approaching the case with a solution that respects the conventions for the Human Rights".

Case Pegah Emambakhsh, Italy asks Britain not to deport Iranian lesbian

John Hooper in Rome - Guardian Unlimited | 25-08-2007 19:51 | Other Press | Sheffield

The British government was today under mounting pressure from Italy not to expel an Iranian lesbian who, campaigners say, faces death by stoning if forced to return to her own country.
The case of Pegah Emambakhsh, 40, has become front-page news in Italy while going almost unreported in Britain. Today, a leading member of the rightwing opposition, led by Silvio Berlusconi, joined a government minister in proposing Ms Emambakhsh should be given asylum in Italy if Britain insisted that she had to leave.

Conspiraloons, Ravers and Peace Activists

With the possible exception of John Pilger, no world renowned journalist can take as much credit for consistently and credibly opposing US imperialist war-mongering as Robert Fisk. Today in the Independent he talks of his doubts about the official 911 story.

Appeal for the life of Pegah Emambakhsh

The United Kingdom is violating all the international Conventions deciding to repatriate Pegah Emambakhsh to Iran, where she's condemned to death because of her homosexuality.

Urgent help needed to save the life of Pegah Emambakhsh

Stephanie Warrick | 24-08-2007 00:18 | Gender | Repression | Sheffield

Assistance is needed urgently from journalists to publicise the case of Pegah Emambakhsh, who is due to be deported to Iraq from the UK within the next three days. She faces imprisonment and execution for the crime of having been in a sexual relationship with another woman. Note to Editor: Although this case was previously reported on Indymedia UK, photographs, petition link and contact details for the Home Secretary were not included. This is NOT a simple repost.
