[WSIS CS-Plenary] Closure of ICTRC Office in Tehran - Letter for support open for signature

[jlfullsack]

Dear Philippe

As far as I remember I supported the idea of a motion to be sent to the Iranian authorities during our May meeting(s) in Geneva and -of course- agreed to sign it on behalf of CSDPTT and of the CS Financing caucus.
I maintain this position as an answer to your mail below.
Thanks for your efforts and let's hope a happy outcome of our request.
Friendly yours
Jean-Louis Fullsack
Président de CSDPTT, Co-coordonateur du Groupe de travail Finances de la SC au SMSI

  Dear all, 

   

  A couple of months ago, I forwarded an e-mail received from our WSIS colleague Mr. Sohrab Razzaghi, announcing that the office of the NGO he is the Executive Director of was closed and sealed by the Revolutionary Court without any legal justification or accusations. Apparently the situation has not evolved and that the staff was prevented to work. 

   

  This is of particular concern for all of us because the focal points for West Asia and the Middle East within the Civil Society Bureau during the WSIS preparatory phase were member of the ICTRC. 

   

  A group of NGOs have drafted a support letter regretting the closure of the ICTRC office and asking for clarification to the Iranian Authorities. 

  You are invited to consider signing this support letter. I particularly encourage all formerly CSB members to look into it, in support for our partners during the WSIS process.

   

  I'll be happy to forward your signatures to the coordinators of this initiative.

  All the best, 

   

  Philippe
