The Saeed's Tragic Tale

 

Mr. Saeed Malekpour, born May 1975, a graduate in metallurgy field of Industrial Sharif University, was arrested by Cyber police of the regime of Iran on 2008.

He was detained while he went to visit his dying father in October 2008, and was about to enroll in a master's program at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.

The Iranian elite student has been kept in Iran's Evin prison since the detention and was initially taken for almost a year in solitary confinement without legal trustee as his relatives said.

Saeed had been sentenced to death on the charge of propaganda against the regime, blasphemy, insulting to the Supreme leader and former president of Iran, Ifsad-E-filarz through allegedly designing and moderating pornographic websites at 28 branch of the Revolutionary which chaired by Judge Mohammad Mogheyse. His sentence also was confirmed by the appeal court on 2012 that the verdict was ultimately reduced to lifetime imprisonment on 2013 and eight years and a half to prison with charge of release his harassment letter of his torture.

"In December 2012, the death sentence had been suspended because Malekpour had repented for his behavior as his lawyer said."

Saeed had been forcibly confessed after all persecution and torture he has undergone during his interrogating by officials in the Islamic Republic chambers, afterward, he later rebound the confession in the letter sent from inside Evin jail.

"A large portion of my confession was extracted under pressure, physical and psychological torture, threats to myself and my family, and false promises of immediate release upon giving a false confession to whatever the interrogators dictated ... Such mistreatment was aimed at forcing me to write what the interrogators were dictating, and to compel me to play a role in front of the camera based on their scenarios."

"Canada has long called for clemency for Saeed Malekpour, a computer programmer who was facing execution on charges of developing and promoting porn websites" as the spokeswoman of the Department of Foreign Affairs said on 2012.

Prior to his detention on 2008, Saeed had been living and working in Canada as a permanent resident and the Canadian government and Amnesty International have already called for his immediate release.
