Dear friends, comrades and interested people,
We, the host of organisation committee of “exiled former political prisoners and left wing political activists from Iran”
would like to draw your attention to a seminar taking place in Hannover, Germany from 18th to 20th of September 2009.
After the success of the 2005 seminar on the topic of “Massacre of political prisoners and opponents of the regime during 1981 to 1988 in (the Islamic Republic of) Iran” and on “Political prisoners and social movements” in 2007 we will be organising a three day conference. We are expecting many participants from all over the world.
The seminars will be dealing with the following topics:
- Continuing quest for an international struggle against political imprisonment
- Youths and political imprisonment
- Political prisoners and their dependants
- Women and political imprisonment
- Resistance or submission?
- The psychology of torture
- Therapy of physical and psychological effects from imprisonment
- Documentation of maltreatments and crimes in prisons
Discussions on these themes will be developed throughout the workshops. The presentations will be given in Persian and German languages and, interpreters will be available in English, German, Turkish, Spanish and French language upon request. The cultural programme includes music, cinema, dance and theatre. An accompanying exhibition will be displaying letters, last wills and diaries as well as artistic handicrafts from political prisoners.
A detailed conference programme containing information on the seminar organisation will be published in August 2009. For inquiries please contact us at any time.
We look forward to your participation.
With solidarity
