Family Denies Charges of ‘Moharebeh’
February 02, 2010
A family of one of the three members of Committee of Human Rights Reporters (CHRR) has refused allegations of ‘Moharebeh’ (waging war against God).
Green Path Movement (Jaras): Mehrdad Rahimi, Shiva Nazar Ahari, and Saeed Haeri, three detained members of CHRR have been charged with ‘Moharebeh’. In a conversation with Jaras, one of their family members has denied the allegations and the TV confessions.
Editor’s Note: According to Islamic law, ‘Moharebeh’ carries a sentence of execution. The three CHRR members were arrested in events following the June 2009 Presidential elections.
Amnesty International and the Human Rights Commission have issued statements condemning the possible death sentences against these prisoners. The two organizations have expressed concern and have asked Iranian officials to respect the rights of the arrested and the protesters.

I’ve been proudly, dilligently and ethusiastically engaging in Moharebeh for the last four decades. I was just unaware of its name. You have my moral support, but I am unsure what I can actually do regarding these war crimes committed by the Iranian government. Any suggestions would be appreciated. It’s not hard to imagine a government so self-serving and religiously corrupt, but it is impossible for me to imagine living under such censorship.
