*Here we are in 2009 and it is August 4th. We are remembering Mehrnehad on his first Martyrdom anniversary. He was hanged by Iranian authorities in Zahedan prison at the dawn of 4th August 2008.
His death marks the death of the first ever weblog writer in the wide world, the first ever registered NGO leader in Iran and the first ever activists who was happy to sit with govt. and talk against their wrong doings in Baluchistan.
Mr. Yaghub Mehrnehad, a graduate who was chairman of an NGO named 'Anjomane Sedaye Adalat' and was seeking social justice for the people of Sistan va Baluchestan through peaceful means. His methods of work included meeting the provincial authorities directly and bringing to their notice the discrepancies that were taking place under their management.
His campaign was excessive for the provincial authorities and they arrested him on April 27, 2007, and seemingly charged him on fabricated case of getting help from abroad. However, he is not been produced before a court of law and kept imprisoned ever since.

We wish to draw the attention of the High Authorities of Iran towards this matter and request them to order their representatives in the province to release Mr. Yaghub Mehrnehad who presumably is held with out the central government's knowledge.
His release and reengagement with his peaceful activities will discourage those who take extreme measures for seeking attention over such issue.
Thank you.
