A/HRC/4/21/Add.1 page 43 members of the Eden Community were released. Ms. Aminuddin is reportedly still detained at Jakarta police station. The Eden community has been forced to stop its religious activities. Observations 175. The Special Rapporteur is concerned that she has not received a reply from the Government concerning the above mentioned allegation. She would like to refer to her framework for communications, more specifically to the international human rights norms and to the mandate practice concerning “Freedom to worship” (see above para. 1, category I. 3. a) and “Places of worship” (category I. 3. b). As she noted in her 2005 report to the Commission on Human Rights, “members of religious communities or communities of belief, whenever they find themselves in places of worship, are in a situation of special vulnerability given the nature of their activity. The Special Rapporteur is therefore of the opinion that States should pay increased attention to attacks on places of worship and ensure that all perpetrators of such attacks are properly prosecuted and tried.” (E/CN.4/2005/61, para. 49). 176. The Special Rapporteur would also like to take this opportunity to insist on receiving an invitation from the Government to visit Indonesia to assess the situation of freedom of religion or belief. As she underlined in her previous reports, the Government has been reminded of this request for an invitation on many occasions since 1996.

According to the allegations, on 20 November 2005, Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati was reported as describing non-Muslims as sinful animals at a ceremony in north-eastern Iran. In response to the comments, Kurosh Niknam described the remarks as “an unprecedented slur against religious minorities.” As a result, he has been charged with slander and summoned to appear before the Revolutionary Tribunal. Response from the Government dated 4 January 2006 178. The Government informed that article 4 of the Law on Establishment of Public and Revolutionary Courts stipulates that Revolutionary Courts have no jurisdiction in legal cases involving members of the Parliament. These cases fall exclusively within the jurisdiction of the Criminal Courts. The allegation on summoning Mr. Nikman has been put forward to the Office of Public Prosecutor of Government employees and they have found no legal record of the alleged case. Observations 179. The Special Rapporteur is grateful for the Government’s response. She would like to make reference to her predecessor’s report on his visit to the Islamic Republic of Iran in December 1995 (E/CN.4/1996/95/Add.2, para. 96): “Concerning religious publications and, in
