He requires immediate surgery. Although he obtained all the necessary permissions for hospital treatment several weeks ago, he is still in prison.

Fouad Khanjani Begins His Four-Year Prison Sentence

The Association Against Educational Discrimination Web site reported that he had been sentenced to four years of correctional imprisonment by Judge Moghiseh of Branch 28 of the Revolutionary court which was later confirmed by Judge Movahed of Branch 54 of the appeals court.

Previously, on April 27, 2010, he had been arrested and later released on bail after a few days. On March 2, 2010,this student who has been deprived of higher education, had been summoned to the ministry of intelligence and on two other occasions had received similar orders.

It is worth noting that his father, Mr. Alaeddin Khanjani, had also been arrested on or about April 27, 2010, and released on bail on 16 March 2010. His sister, Leva Khanjani Mobasher's two-year prison sentence was upheld by an appeals court in 2011. His grandfather, Jamaloddin Khanjani, one of the seven imprisoned Bahai leaders, is currently serving a 20-year prison term.

Fouad Khanjani’s grandfather, Jmalaldyn Khanjani, also is one of the leaders of the Baha’I community who is serving a sentence of 20 years in the Rajai Shahr Prison in Karaj.

This banned-from-education student, earlier, had been expelled from the Industrial Management Organization, due to his belief in the Baha’i faith.

Um grande crime ambiental está prestes a ser cometido no litoral baiano, sem divulgação, sem alarde. O governo baiano anunciou no início deste ano o Projeto Porto Sul, que inclui a construção de um porto internacional para escoamento de minério de ferro e um novo aeroporto no litoral entre Ilhéus e Itacaré – em plena Área de Proteção Ambiental da Lagoa Encantada.

Esta região foi objeto de um estudo do New York Botanical Gardens e da CEPLAC (Centro de Pesquisa da Lavoura Cacaueira) que ali encontraram a floresta com maior biodiversidade do mundo – mais de 450 espécies arbóreas por hectare. Além de árvores, a região hospeda muitas espécies ameaçadas de extinção, como o macaco prego de peito amarelo, mutum do nordeste, e a preguiça de coleira.

Agora querem construir lá uma ferrovia, minérioduto, retroporto e aeroporto.
O receio dos ambientalistas é de que as áreas protegidas e a economia do turismo sejam comprometidas irreversivelmente pela nova lógica de povoamento da costa – o que inclui imensa área de beneficiamento de minério de ferro, similar ao que ocorre na Grande Vitória, propagando fuligem mineral em um raio de 30 Km. O mais grave: sem estudo de impactos ambiental, o governo decretou como utilidade pública área de 1780 hectares para minerioduto e retroporto.

O aeroporto consumiria mais 700 hectares em plena Área de Proteção Ambiental da Lagoa Encantada, sobre remanescentes florestais e ao lado de povoados de pescadores artesanais, a exemplo Areias, Juerana e Ponta da Tulha.

Este projeto é um absurdo. Foi tudo feito na surdina e impactará uma das regiões mais bonitas do Brasil, sem falar do fato que a Mata Atlântica do Sul da Bahia é um dos ecossistemas mais ameaçados do mundo.
