Would you be happy if she is deported to Iran?

Outrage Over Terrorist Suspect's Treatment
By Lorraine Adams and David A. Vise
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, June 1, 2000; Page A23
Her name is difficult to pronounce. She speaks a language no one around her
understands. She waits in the Etowah County Jail in Alabama, a 35-year-old
Iranian woman the Immigration and Naturalization Service calls a terrorist.
Even though a judge moved her case to Washington two weeks ago, the INS
won't move her.
The supporters of Mahnaz Samadi call this the latest outrage in a case that
outraged them from the start. Friends who speak Farsi cannot afford to visit
her. Her lawyers say they cannot get a straight answer from INS about why
they have to fly to Atlanta and drive three hours to talk to their client.
And, after her lawyers do see her, the jail strip-searches her.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I think they would not move her to
Washington," said attorney Jay Fredman. "My guess is this is just petty
vindictiveness."
The INS, which comes under the Justice Department, says her Alabama
detention is not punitive, but a matter of resources.
"Alabama is where we have room," said INS spokeswoman Maria Cardona.
"Alabama is the closest place where we have the resources for a female
detainee in this sort of case." What sort of case? "High security."
For years, the INS has placed its prisoners in private jails under contract
because it lacks adequate detention facilities. Cardona says there is simply
no bed in any local facility for Samadi.
Some on Capitol Hill are skeptical. Last week Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee
(D-Tex.), Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) and Rep. James A. Traficant Jr.
(D-Ohio) wrote to INS Commissioner Doris M. Meissner, pointing out that
"initially INS claimed she had been transferred to Georgia and then Alabama
due to lack of facilities. This claim was not borne out in contacts by Ms.
Samadi's lawyer with relevant agents in Virginia, who indicated they had
ample space for such an inmate. Then, INS claimed that facilities were
cheaper in Alabama."
Samadi's supporters cannot understand how a feminist, human rights advocate
and respected figure in the Arab and Muslim communities is a high security
risk. Records in the case show that Samadi is not accused of any terrorist
acts. She is accused of being a member of a terrorist group for seven
months, six years ago.
What's puzzling is that the United States granted Samadi political asylum in
1995, knowing she was a part of the Iranian resistance. But in 1997, the
State Department designated the National Liberation Army a foreign terrorist
organization. Membership in the NLA is a deportable offense. Samadi lived in
the Iraq-based camps of the NLA--the INS charges she was a commander--in
late 1993 after escaping from Iran. Other NLA members living in the United
States have not been deported.
Sen. Robert G. Torricelli (D-N.J.) wrote to national security adviser Samuel
R. "Sandy" Berger about Samadi's case, calling her arrest and detention
"unconscionable." So far, he hasn't gotten a reply. A hearing on the case
will take place June 6 before U.S. District Judge Wayne Iskra in Arlington.
TALLYING UP ARRESTS: The Justice Department released some new data yesterday
on federal arrests. It's the first time the department has analyzed arrests
across all federal law enforcement agencies--FBI, INS, Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms, Drug Enforcement Administration, Secret Service,
Customs, Postal Service, Defense, Interior and other federal police forces.
The tally found that half the arrests were for drug or immigration law
violations. Drug arrests constituted 29 percent of the total. Immigration
arrests were 20 percent. (The figures were for 1998, the most recent year
for which data were available.)
Federal law enforcement has been busy since 1990. The number of defendants
rose by 12.7 percent, to 78,172, in 1998--mostly because of increases in
immigration law violations.
The prison population is growing, which comes as no surprise, but so is the
number of people under some kind of federal supervision--whether it's
court-ordered probation or parole after serving prison time.
There are now 201,693 people under federal correctional supervision, an
increase of 42 percent from 1990 to 1998. And the number of people in
federal prison surpassed 100,000 in 1998 for the first time.
The average prison sentence was 58.8 months, slightly down from a high of
62.6 months in 1992. But the length of time likely to be served in prison is
increasing and was up to 87 percent of the time imposed.
The report can be found online at the Federal Justice Statistics Resource
Center's Web site, http://fjsrc.urban.org.

I know it's not the focus or intent of the post -- but -- what's so damned
hard to pronounce about that name? Man, I love the hidden ethnocentric
overtones.
When my daughter's teachers started calling her P.J., I chastised her homeroom
teacher (who had just a week earlier taught the class about the United Nations
has declared that everyone has a right to a "name" and an "identity"), saying:
"Her name is Parvaneh Jackson. Not P.J."
Mahnaz is a beautiful name.
There, they cut out the tongue. Here, they ignore them away.

This is not true. It is NOT a crime to be a member of the NLA and it is
not a deportable offense. The law says only that MKO/NCRI/NLA/et al. members
should be denied visas to enter the U.S. It does not say that those who
are here must be deported.
Apparently she is being deported because she fraudulently applied for
asylum. The 1997 designations are only relevant to the 1996 Antiterrorism
Act (the State Department had been labelling the MKO as a terrorist
organization for many years prior to 1997) and apparently NO charges
are pending against her based on that legislation.
Finally, why does everyone assume that the U.S. would deport her to Iran?
Why not another country? Is this just a sob story?

Another good lesson for those self-hating anti-Iranian parasites who become
agents of the enemies of Iran and Iranians.
See Don Koskesh, DariusA, etc... this is where you are going to end up after
doing your "service" for them.
You end up being phsycologically and perhaps even phsyically tortured in your
master's jails.
Take good a lesson from what has happend to traitors in Lebanon and elsewhere
too, you don't wanna end up like them do you!?!?!?!?
Repent and go back to the good side, the side of the great Iranian nation and
the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Good point. The hate shows up in little things like this too bad the
self-hating anti-Irnaian parasites don't get it and still are encouraging it.

I think this particular case was
unintentional. The difficulty (for
American tongue) in pronouncing
"Mahnaz" is the ease with which it
can get pronounced like "Mayonnaise".
Since one doesn't wish to insult
someone calling her Mayonnaise a bit
of difficulty sure arises there.
Same thing goes with European names
in Iran. Names like Anne, Bill, Dole,
Koony, ... . In Iran you've got to be
careful how you pronounce or spell them.

Better mayonnaise than Marlene or Mary or Martha. Better mayonnaise than,
"I'd like to introduce you to my close personal friend with the name that is
'hard to pronounce.'"
My own name is often mispronounced by Iranians -- everything from Queen to
Kvin or Couenne (which means pig fat in French) -- and when spelled in Farsi,
all one has to do is miss the dots of the yeh, and I'm a koun. And so, I ask
to be called Jackson, which is not such a rare thing to do in the culture --
call someone by their family name.
Quinn would "culturally" be translated to Jamshid, and so some call me that.
My wife is Laleh, and let me tell you -- everything from Leanne to "Huh?
Whazzat?"
Mahnaz seems one of the simpler names.
If they think that's so difficult to say, let them try to say, 10 times fast:
"Aaqaa-ye-Esqaahinajafabaadi qaali-ye-maahi raa dust daarad, qaanom."
Now THERE's a name (and a food) hard to pronounce! Try that while drinking
water!

I wish that the INS would publicly indicate the charges against her.
Her side of the story doesn't sound convincing. What part of this
do you see as an "evil act" or "inhumane treatment"? I don't think that
she will be sent back to Iran. If she was, I would hope that the U.S.
would first use this opportunity to gain some cooperation with Iran
on the subject of terrorism. It would be an excellent talking point.
However, it seems that this is just a simple case of someone not being
truthful when applying for asylum. I have no doubt that her life would
be in danger if she were repatriated. For that reason and the fact that
we have no cooperation with Iran it is highly unlikely that this would
happen. The U.S. doesn't want to become a haven for terrorists; especially
when we have a policy of threatening other countries with violence and
missile attack for doing the same. It is not true that the State Department
only in 1997 determined that the MKO was a terrorist organization.
Now, if you ask me whether I support "secret evidence", which may or may
not be used in this case, I will tell you that I am 100% OPPOSED. I think
that secret evidence is unconstitutional and a violation of human rights.
I don't condemn her arrest and deportation procedings BUT they should be
performed fairly and justly.

Why not Iran. She has Iranian blood on her
hands and she should stand a trial for her
crimes against Iranian nationals. Just ask
her if she wants to continue killing Iranian
soldiers, she will definitely answer yes.
So why she should be freed to continue
her crimes against Iranian.
Canadian government should deport those who
supported her during her illegal stay in Canada.
Many of these criminals walking in Candian streets
like they have done anything wrong. They
support MKO financially and deduct it
from their taxes as charitable donations.
As I said before she should be sent back to
Iran.

Why not Iran?
1) She apparently successfully convinced the INS that she
was persecuted in Iran and that her life was at risk. Presumably,
this is still true.
2) The U.S. and Iran have no formal cooperation in matters of
terrorism.
3) Reports do not indicate that she is being charged with any
acts of terrorism, only that she lied when applying for asylum.
Now, if she WAS charged with terrorism or supporting terrorism
then perhaps it might be a different matter. BUT, why should
the U.S. help Iran with its terrorism problems if Iran is not
willing to help the U.S.?
nader
conducting more terrorist acts (presumably). If she is sent back to Iran she
will be executed. If she is sent to Iraq then it would be dangerous for
Iranian people (she will start a mortar attack against innocent Iranian
people).
I think the logical solution for this problem is that she be contained. Who
should makes that judgment?

Hallaj jAn,
At least MKO supporters work in Canada and send money to MKO.
These hezbollAhis steal the money from beytol-mAl in Iran and
spend it in Canada. But please do not send this guy back to Qazvin.
Send him to Khartoum. It will serve two goals. One is that
Iranian people will have one less hezbollAhi to deal with, and the
second advantage is that he can serve as the advanced form
of the specimen that is being locally developed there, and they
may get dars-e ebrat and not fall for a Sudanese khomeini.
Take Care,
- Sam

She was prosecuted because of her crimes.
It is so easy, just ask her if she intends
to kill Iranian soldiers if they let
her free, she is stupid enough to say yes.

Are you saying to me that Iran should let Bin Laden to come to Iran
too ?

It is so obvious. She has not been in Jordan and Iraq for
fun. In Canada, it was proved that she has been to Iraq and
Jordan on several occasions. She does not go to Iraq and
Jordan for fun, you should know this.

Iran has never been involved in supporting American criminals
to stay in Iran but its opposite has been always true.
Just walk by Beverly Hills and see it for yourself that many thieves
who stole billions of dollars of poor Iranian, live an easy life
in US. Shah, the head criminal was allowed to stay in US
and there are plenty of criminals who have Iranian blood
on their hands and live safely in the US.
