Iran: An independent inquiry must be opened into the death of Zahra
Kazemi


Amnesty International added its voice today to the calls made by Iran's
Islamic Human Rights Commission and other international human rights
organizations in calling for an independent and thorough investigation
into the death in custody of 54-year-old photojournalist Zahra Kazemi on
12 July 2003.

"Iran's obligations under international human rights treaties require
the establishment of an independent and impartial judicial inquiry to
determine the causes of Zahra Kazemi's death," Amnesty International
said.

"Such investigation must also determine whether Zahra Kazemi was
ill-treated or tortured in custody as some reports have indicated," the
organization added.

Zahra Kazemi, who had dual Canadian and Iranian nationality, died at the
Baghiyetollah Hospital in Tehran while under guard. She was arrested for
taking photographs of people protesting against the detention of family
members outside the Evin prison in northern Tehran. Amnesty
International has documented for years cases of ill-treatment and
torture in detention.

The organization welcomed reports that President Mohammad Khatami
ordered the Ministers of the Interior, Justice, Intelligence and Culture
and Islamic Guidance to investigate Zahra Kazemi's death in custody.

"The authorities must enact concrete measures aimed at ending all forms
of ill-treatment in Iran, such as acceding to the UN Convention against
Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment,"
the organization said.

"Only a prompt, thorough, independent and impartial investigation will
serve the interests of justice."
