Three top UN human rights experts call for a halt to Shiraz cemetery destruction
Three top UN human rights experts call for a halt to Shiraz cemetery destruction
http://news.bahai.org/story/
GENEVA, 4 September 2014, (BWNS) — Three high-level United Nations human rights experts today called on Iran to halt the ongoing destruction of a historic Baha'i cemetery in Shiraz, Iran, saying the action is an "unacceptable" violation of freedom of religion.
In a joint news release, Heiner Bielefeldt, the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, Ahmed Shaheed, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, and Rita Izsak, the UN Independent Expert on minority issues, said they were "dismayed" at reports that demolition work had resumed in August.
"Cemeteries, like places of worship, are an essential part of how people exercise and manifest their right to freedom of religion or belief. Their significance goes beyond their physical presence," said Dr. Bielefeldt.
"Attacks on cemeteries are unacceptable and are a deliberate violation of freedom of religion or belief," he added. "The government of Iran must take urgent action."
Dr. Shaheed said "Baha'is have religious rites and practices for the disposal of the deceased in their own cemeteries and the government has the obligation not only to respect them but to protect them from destruction."
Ms. Izsak urged the Iranian government to take concrete steps to protect religious minorities.
"The Baha'is have been subjected to persecution and acts of violence," said Ms. Izsak. "The authorities must protect them from further discrimination and stigmatization."
"Measures should be put in place to protect and maintain the cultural heritage of religious minorities, including burial grounds and other sites of religious significance," she added.
The cemetery is the resting place of some 950 Baha'is, many of whom were historic or prominent figures in the Baha'i community of Iran. Interred at the site, for example, are ten Baha'i women whose cruel hanging in 1983 came to symbolize the government's deadly persecution of Baha'is.
Demolition at the site first began in April, undertaken by Iran's Revolutionary Guards, apparently to make way for the construction of a new sports and cultural center.
After the excavation of a large but shallow hole, demolition was halted for several months in the face of international pressure and the expression of outrage on the part of Iranians from all walks of life.
But in August, reports emerged from Iran saying that the Revolutionary Guards had resumed construction on the site, removing human remains from some 30 to 50 graves and pouring a concrete foundation for the complex, which will reportedly include a library, mosque, restaurant, theatre, child care facility, and sports hall.
Members of the Shiraz Baha'i community have pleaded with local authorities to enforce a permanent halt in the construction, offering also a compromise in which the sports complex could be built on the site away from areas where Baha'is are buried, while the graveyard itself is turned into a green space.
The Baha'is have been told, however, that local authorities have no control over the Revolutionary Guards, who acquired the land about three years ago.
Diane Ala'i, the Baha'i International Community's representative to the United Nations in Geneva, welcomed the statement of the three UN officials.
"We are grateful for the strong stand that these three independent human rights experts have taken on the situation in Shiraz," said Ms. Ala'i.
"The statement by Dr. Bielefeld, Dr. Shaheed, and Ms. Izsak is a clear signal to Iran that these acts are completely unacceptable, and that it is the responsibility of the government to uphold and enforce its commitments to human rights law, regardless of who the perpetrators are."
"The current government has made numerous promises to improve its human rights record but failed to take action. Words must now be followed by deeds," said Ms. Ala'i.

Três especialistas em direitos humanos da ONU topo porem termo à destruição cemitério Shiraz
Três especialistas em direitos humanos da ONU topo porem termo à destruição cemitério Shiraz
http://news.bahai.org/story/1016
GENEBRA, 04 de setembro de 2014, (BWNS) - Três de alto nível das Nações Unidas especialistas em direitos humanos apelaram hoje ao Irão para parar a destruição em curso de um cemitério bahá'í histórico em Shiraz, Irã, dizendo que a ação é uma violação de "inaceitável" de liberdade de religião.
Em um comunicado conjunto, Heiner Bielefeldt, o Relator Especial sobre a liberdade de religião ou crença, Ahmed Shaheed, o relator especial sobre a situação dos direitos humanos no Irão, e Rita Izsak, o perito independente das Nações Unidas sobre as questões das minorias, disseram que estavam " consternado "com relatos de que o trabalho de demolição havia retomado em agosto.
"Cemitérios, como lugares de culto, são uma parte essencial de como as pessoas exercer e manifestar o seu direito à liberdade de religião ou crença. Sua importância vai além de sua presença física", disse o Dr. Bielefeldt.
"Os ataques a cemitérios são inaceitáveis e uma violação deliberada da liberdade de religião ou crença", acrescentou. "O governo do Irã deve tomar medidas urgentes."
Dr. Shaheed disse "Baha'is têm ritos e práticas religiosas para a eliminação do falecido nos seus próprios cemitérios e que o governo tem a obrigação não só a respeitá-los, mas para protegê-los da destruição."
Ms. Izsak exortou o governo iraniano a tomar medidas concretas para proteger as minorias religiosas.
"Os bahá'ís foram sujeitos a perseguições e atos de violência", disse Izsak. "As autoridades devem protegê-los de mais discriminação e estigmatização".
"As medidas devem ser postas em prática para proteger e manter a herança cultural das minorias religiosas, incluindo cemitérios e outros locais de importância religiosa", acrescentou ela.
O cemitério é o lugar de descanso de cerca de 950 bahá'ís, muitos dos quais eram figuras históricas ou proeminentes da comunidade bahá'í do Irã. Enterrados no local, por exemplo, são dez mulheres bahá'ís cujo enforcamento cruel em 1983 passou a simbolizar a perseguição mortal do governo de Baha'is.
Demolição no local começou em abril, realizada pela Guarda Revolucionária do Irã, aparentemente para abrir caminho para a construção de um novo centro desportivo e cultural.
Após a escavação de um buraco grande, mas superficial, a demolição foi interrompido por vários meses em face da pressão internacional e da expressão de indignação por parte dos iranianos de todas as esferas da vida.
Mas em agosto, surgiram relatos do Irã dizendo que a Guarda Revolucionária tinha retomado construção no local, removendo restos humanos de alguns 30 a 50 sepulturas e derramar uma base concreta para o complexo, que inclui relatos de uma biblioteca, mesquita, restaurante, teatro , creche e ginásio de esportes.
Os membros da comunidade Baha'i Shiraz se declararam com as autoridades locais para fazer valer um impasse permanente na construção, oferecendo também um compromisso em que o complexo esportivo poderia ser construído no local longe das áreas onde os bahá'ís são enterrados, enquanto o cemitério se é transformado em um espaço verde.
Os bahá'ís foram informados, no entanto, que as autoridades locais não têm controle sobre a Guarda Revolucionária, que adquiriu o terreno de cerca de três anos atrás.
Diane Ala'i, representante da Comunidade Internacional Bahá'í nas Nações Unidas em Genebra, saudou a declaração dos três funcionários da ONU.
"Estamos gratos pela posição firme de que esses três peritos independentes de direitos humanos assumiram a situação em Shiraz", disse Ala'i.
"A afirmação do Dr. Bielefeld, Dr. Shaheed, e Ms. Izsak é um sinal claro para o Irã que esses atos são totalmente inaceitáveis, e que é da responsabilidade do Governo de aplicar e fazer cumprir os seus compromissos com a lei de direitos humanos, independentemente de quem são os criminosos. "
"O atual governo tem feito inúmeras promessas para melhorar seu histórico de direitos humanos, mas não tomou medidas. Palavras devem agora ser seguidas por ações", disse Ala'i.
