The Director of the Kurdish Organization of the Human Rights, Mr Mohammad Siddiq KabOudwand, condemned to 11 years of confinement in spite of his illness, is still in prison. At least 15 Kurdish activists condemned to death, do still risk their lives.We recommend that the Iranian government:.    release all the individuals deprived of their freedom, who only have peacefully exerted their right to the freedom of expression and meeting; opens investigations transparent and independent into all the cases of complaints of torture and ill treatment inflicted to prisoners and persecutes and judges the persons responsible for these acts; respects and applies articles 15 and 19 of the Constitution which recognize the rights of the ethnic minorities to publish articles and books and to teach in the local languages in addition to the national language; finally, that it installs the appropriates mechanisms so that the minorities living in Iran can take part in the socio-economic decisions which relate to them directly, thank you, Madame Chair,
