No. 3907  イラン:女性の人権団体のホームページが当局により閲覧を遮断されました

 「国際人権連盟」(FIDH)と「SOSトーチャー」の共同プロジェクトである「人権擁護家保護のための監視機構」は、イランにおける下記の状況に関して皆様の働きかけをお願いします。

<事件の概要>

 人権擁護家のための監視機構は信頼できる情報筋より、www.we-change.orgのウェブサイトが最近当局によって閲覧を遮断されたという情報を入手しました。

 情報によると、このウェブサイトはイランのフェミニスト・グループが2006年8月27日に開設したもので、イランの法律におけるあらゆる形態の法的な女性差別の撤廃を呼びかけ、国会議員に対し、イランが加盟している国際人権条約に合致するよう、既存の法律を見直し、修正するよう要請するものでした。このサイトは海外からは今も見ることができますが、イラン国内では見られないよう2007年1月に当局が閲覧を遮断しました。

 監視機構はこの件をはじめとして、イランで表現の自由が繰り返し妨害されていることを憂慮します。ここ数年、民主改革、基本的人権の尊重、人権侵害への抗議を表明する国内外のNGOや新聞のウェブサイトが何十件も閲覧を遮断されています。

 監視機構はこれらの事件が国際人権基準、とくにイランが批准している市民的および政治的権利に関する国際規約(ICCPR)や1998年12月9日に国連総会が採択した「人権擁護家保護のための宣言」の全条文、とりわけ、「すべての人は(略)すべての人権と基本的自由に関する意見、情報、知識を出版、発表、もしくは他の者に伝える権利を有している」とした第6条b項に甚だしく違反していると考えます。

<行動要請>

 イラン関係当局に以下の内容の要請をお願いします。

1. www.we-change.orgのウェブサイトを遮断する決定を見直し、国内における表現の自由の完全な行使を保障すること。

2. イランのすべての人権擁護家の心身の安全を保障し、彼らに対するあらゆる形態の嫌がらせを停止すること。

3. 1998年12月9日の国連総会による人権擁護家の宣言の条文、とりわけ、「すべての人は、人権と基本的自由を国内および国際レベルで促進および保護する権利を、個別におよび集団的に所有する」とした第1条、「すべての人は、個々にまた他の者と共同して、すべての人権と基本的自由に関する意見、情報、知識を出版、発表もしくは他の者に伝える権利を有している」とした第6条(b)、そして「国家は、個別であれ他者との合同であれ、すべての人が、本宣言に記述されている権利の合法的行使の結果により受ける、暴力、脅迫、報復、事実上あるいは法律上の差別、圧力あるいはその他の恣意的行為から資格ある当局の保護を受けるよう保障するために、あらゆる必要な措置をとるものとする」とした第12条2項に従うこと。

4. 国際人権基準に沿い、いかなる情況にあろうともイラン国内における人権尊重と基本的自由を保障すること。

Blocked access to a reformist website

Iran

January 17, 2007

The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a joint programme of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), requests your urgent intervention in the following situation in Iran.

Brief description of the situation:

The Observatory has been informed by reliable sources that the website www.we-change.org was recently blocked by the authorities.

According to the information received, this website is a campaign on-line that was launched by Iranian feminist groups on August 27, 2006, asking for the elimination of all forms of legal discrimination against women in Iranian law, and asking legislators to review and reform existing laws, so that they conform with the government’s commitments to international human rights conventions. Even if it remains accessible from abroad, the authorities blocked its access in Iran in January 2007.

The Observatory expresses its deep concern about these events, along with the recurrent obstacles put on freedom of expression in Iran. Indeed, several dozens of international and national websites of NGOs and newspapers, calling for democratic reforms and the respect of fundamental freedoms, or denouncing human rights violations, have been blocked over the past few years.

The Observatory considers that these facts contravene international human rights standards, in particular the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), ratified by Iran, and the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 9, 1998, which article 6b states that “everyone is free (…) to publish, impart or disseminate to other views, information and knowledge on all human rights and fundamental freedoms”.

Action requested:

Please write to the Iranian authorities, urging them to:

i. Review the decision to block the website www.we-change.org, and ensure the full exercise of freedom of expression in the country;

ii. Guarantee the physical and psychological integrity of all human rights defenders in Iran, and put an end to all forms of harassment against them;

iii. Conform with the above Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, in particular its article 1 which provides that “everyone has the right, individually and in association with others, to promote and to strive for the protection and realisation of human rights and fundamental freedoms at the national and international levels”, above-mentioned article 6(b) and article 12.2, which states that “the State shall take all necessary measures to ensure the protection by the competent authorities of everyone, individually and in association with others, against any violence, threats, retaliation, de facto or de jure adverse discrimination, pressure or any other arbitrary action as a consequence of his or her legitimate exercise of the rights referred to in the present Declaration”;

vi. More generally, ensure in all circumstances respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in Iran in accordance with international human rights standards.
