Name:
Mahmoud Salarkia
Human rights violations:
Deputy to the Prosecutor-General of Tehran for Prison Affairs. Directly responsible for many of the arrest warrants against innocent, peaceful protesters and activists. Many reports from human rights defenders show that virtually all those arrested are, on his instruction, held incommunicado without access to their lawyer or families, and without charge, for varying lengths of time, often in conditions amounting to enforced disappearance. Their families are often not notified of the arrest.
On 10 October 2011, the European Union published the names of 29 officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran including Mahmoud Salarkia whom the E.U. asserts are “responsible for serious human rights violations” and is thus subjecting to travel bans and asset freezes. [1]
