Iran has arrested the family of a Kurdish student whose execution, scheduled to take place on Boxing Day, was delayed because of protests outside the prison in which he has been held for three years.
A source close to the family of Habibollah Latifi, a 29-year-old student activist, said his parents and his three brothers and three sisters were arrested last night.
Human rights activists fear Iran might carry out the death penalty in secret.
At least 10 other Kurdish activists who have been active in the campaign to prevent Latifi's execution were also arrested. Among them was Simin Chaichi, a prominent Kurdish poet

Just wait, they will come for our families too.
In 1979 when the Soviet guided Khomeini revolution in Iran bore fruit in February, Amnesty International had recently concluded a detailed visit and inspection of the late-Shah’s prisons and wrote a report that there were some 2,400 persons there that could be termed as political prisoners.
Most of them were pro-Soviet members of the banned Communist (Tudeh) Party sentenced for trying to overthrow the monarchy. (And replace it with a Soviet style Communist regime).
Some tagged as “politicals” were in fact trained terrorists sent to wage destruction inside Iran, which included robbing banks, killing unarmed traffic policemen in the streets and being caught for criminal terror rather than political activity.
Accepting Amnesty’s numbers, so many “enemies” of the State may not seem that large in a time of huge turmoil and destabilization by the Soviets.
Put into focus, it is minimal.
Focus being that within 30-days from the Khomeini take-over there were over NINETY THOUSAND political prisoners in his prisons.
With many more than the Amnesty’s numbers EXECUTED/murdered in that short time frame.
The late-Shah’s national security organization SAVAK had learned over the years that it was not necessary to arrest everyone and that paying off the clergy with monthly stipends, taking ONLY the pro-Soviet or Marxist-Islamist leaders off the streets was enough to maintain order.
Khomeini had no such files on his opponents, so if he arrested someone ALLEGEDLY aligned against him (lots of false reports to his Komiteh/religious neighborhood vigilantes), they would also arrest every family member of that person AND every friend AND every friend and family member of those thus peripherally arrested.
With personal vendettas rife among the vigilantes and NO restrictions on executions, tens of thousands of innocents died from guilt by association. Having the maniac, vengeful, sadistic cleric “ayatollah” Khalkhali leading the executions from the religious courts (he loved torturing cats and hearing their screams and could now replace them with humans he did not like) the bloodshed was vile and senseless.
Remember that the Islamic clergy - with only a handful of exceptioms - were mostly UNWASHED, UNEDUCATED, low life citizenry leaching like beggars off the public - often with only some basic, often rudimenatary knowledge of the Koran themselves. Which they interpreted to the public as they pleased and to get an effect they wished selfishly for themselves.
The current Islamic Republic hierarchy has evolved somewhat among their SECULAR adherents, so instead of arresting and killing from pure ignorance they NOW do it as a strategy to instill fear in the public and prevent or deter all but the most determined among the opposition.
If you know your mother, daughter, sister, wife, or even younger siblings of either sex will be ruthlessly raped and tortured if you are arrested, it does put a chill on what you do.
Risking yourself may be fine to you but are you going to do this to your family?
That is why the Mullahs now increasingly resort to their old tactics. Simply to instill fear through their religion of er.. peace.....er....body pieces.
It takes another Moslem like Oba-Hussein to stay on good terms and protect and encourage these inhumane savageries and help embed Moslem sharia law and mentalities into our Western, generally humanitarian, mostly Christian societies.
Denial of this truth equals accepting suicide as our future.
Khomeini’s view of justice was clearly stated by him and a window into Islam’s - “if they are against me they are against Allah so kill them where they stand”.
Khomeini’s view of bestiality is recorded in his “Works” & it should accompany every reference of his name.
Khomeini, the same man who instructs his followers to sodomize, slaughter, & sell accosted goats, is a koranimal & his name should forever be coupled with the criminal behavior that he loved so much...
Something like that.
...of a Kurdish student whose execution, scheduled to take place on Boxing Day, was delayed because of protests outside the prison in which he has been held for three years.
And Obozo wants to open up dialogue with Iran? Sick
Another death caused by Jimmy Carter.
Unfortunately, the KUrds (Muslims) are reaping the rewards of helping the Turks (Muslims) exterminate the Armenians (Christians) under the Ottoman Empire.
When Muslims have no non-Muslims to kill, they kill each other. Its just part of the nature of this deviant cult.
