Iran: One year on since crackdown - hundreds still imprisoned‏

Today is the first anniversary of last year’s disputed elections in Iran, and is being marked by a Global Day of Action across the world, sponsored by Amnesty International and others.

One year on from Iran’s disputed June 2009 presidential election, Amnesty International has documented a widening crackdown on dissent that has left journalists, students, political and rights activists as well as clerics languishing in prisons.

This repression is documented in a new Amnesty International report From Protest to Prison: Iran One Year After the Election which reviews a year of arrest and detention of those who have spoken out against the government and its abuses. The publication of the report marks the launch of a one-year campaign calling for the release of prisoners of conscience in Iran held since the disputed 2009 election and ensuing repression and fair trials without recourse to the death penalty for other political prisoners. http://www.amnesty.org/en/for-media/press-releases/iran-one-year-crackdown-dissent-widens-hundreds-unjustly-imprisoned-2010-06
