Business as Usual: Iran lobby in the US and EU

Companies like Nokia Siemens Networks should rethink before providing update on the lawful intercept capabilities technology to the human rights abuser regimes like Khamenei’s. Do you need to export lawful technology to a human rights abuser regime to keep your balance sheet on the blue? Of course not! The question is not that the technology is lawful. The question is that technology could be used to arrest, torture and kill innocent citizens.

The SAVAK was the cruel secret police of the Sha’s regime until 1978. SAVAK paid Rockwell International to implement a large communications monitoring system called IBEX. The Stanford Technology Corp. [STC, owned by Hakim] had a $5.5 million contract to supply the CIA-promoted IBEX project. STC had another $7.5 million contract with Iran's air force for a telephone monitoring system, operated by SAVAK, to enable the Shah to track his top commanders' communications.

SAVAK's torture methods included electric shock, whipping, beating, inserting brokon glass and pouring boiling water into the rectum, tying weights to the testicles, and the extraction of teeth and nails. Many of these activities were carried out without any institutional checks.

The SAVAK’s heir is the SAVAMA, resorted even in greater intensity to illegal persecution, arrests, tortures and killings. Why associate the name of your company with such regime? If you do not think about preserving human lives, then think about that this is a wrong corporate marketing decision.

Replace your sales director who proposed this deal, he is jeopardizing the corporate image of your company and subtracting value to your shareholders.

Think about how your shareholders will be disgusted with your well paid and wise CEOs, by seeing their image linked to supplying any kind of technology or having any kind of business at all with a regime that systematically tortures and kills its own citizens.

How would you feel spending your fat bonuses and sales commissions, originated from technology export to such a totalitarian regime…if you feel good, then this is not a question of business anymore. It is a question of morality and decency.

Among other tasks, the Human Resources of corporate companies should clean the working environment from persons that could jeopardize the company’s image in face of their clients and consumers.

This article by Mr. Jamie Glazov, an interview with Mr. Hassam Haioleslam, shows how an alleged Iranian Islamic lobby is acting in the US, Europe and who are its key operatives in those regions.

Under the law of God:

"Allah does not forbid you respecting those who have not made war against you on account of (your) religion, and have not driven you forth from your homes, that you show them kindness and deal with them justly; surely Allah loves the doers of justice" Koran (60-8) “…take not life, which God hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom.” [Al-Qur’an 6:151].

“Otherwise, as I have already said, a government not respecting the people’s vote has no religious or political legitimacy. I ask the police and army personnel not to “sell their religion”, and be aware that receiving orders will not excuse them before God.”  Grand Aiatollah Montazeri June 2009.

The ones that  kill innocent citizens, are blasphemers are blasphemers because they go against the law of God.

Under the law of men.

“The Iranian government at this time has ceased to be a legitimate government. A government primary role is to protect its citizens. They have done the exact opposite. They have hired thugs from the rural areas of Iran, Syria and Lebanon to beat, terrorize andkill its citizens. They pay the Lebanese more than the Iranian. 200,000 Tomans or $200. When your government takes measures to kill you…that is no longer your government! This is no longer about an election!” Anonymous post on Youtube.

“Crimes against international law are committed by men, not by abstract entities, and only by punishing individuals who commit such crimes can the provisions of international law be enforced” (Judgment of the Nuremberg Tribunal, 30^th September and 1st October 1946, Cmd. 6964, Misc. No. 12, London: H.M.S.O 1946, p. 41)
