After this press realize, I have a plan to tour between major U.S cities and European capitals by bicycle to meet and discuss with the local Governors, member of parliaments, political and social leaders and NGOs, active in democracy and human rights fields and above all ordinary citizens to draw their attentions to the my followings’ humanitarian requests:

To disclose and reveal, the untold stories of physical and emotional tortures imposed up on me, my brother, late Akbar Mohammadi and other freedom and political activists in Islamic Republic of Irans’ prisons.

Recognize that it is impossible to reform the Islamic Republic, a government that functions on jurisprudence-based rule.
Carry out investigations in order to find the motives and the agents of the serial killings of political prisoners, human rights activists, and journalists in the Islamic Republic prisons. The murders of individuals such as Zahra Kazemi, Vali Allah Fez Mahdavi, Zahra Bani Yaghoob, Ebrahim Lotf Allahi, and also Akbar Mohammadi.
The International Court of Justice should prosecute political, judicial, police, and security leaders of the Islamic regime. These trials have to be held for the following reasons. First, for the constant murders and oppression of the Iranian people. Second, participation of many of the Islamic Republic leaders in my brother’s death, even after presenting many hard documents and evidence proving his innocence. This was after he had spent 7 years and 2 months in solitary confinement and public prisons. Third, because of the criminal deeds by the governing leaders, including the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei; the President, Ahmadinejad; the Iranian Intelligence Minister, Mohsen Ejeie; the heads of the Revolutionary Guard; and many other leaders in the government posts. Their arrest will be a sure way to end the murders and oppression of the women and the people of Iran, as well as an end to insecurity in the world.
Request assistance in making reparations from the Islamic Republic, by using the American and European legal institutions and the governmental and non-governmental institutions, for emotional blows that I have incurred as the result of losing my brother, Akbar Mohammadi, in the Islamic Republic’s Evin Prison. Also, I request reparations for the emotional and physical tortures I have endured as the result of 7 years and 2 months of my imprisonment in the regime’s prisons.

Have the international courts seriously consider proceeding or keeping open the files of many chain killings of Iranian political activists, human rights activists, and journalists.
Recognize the governments that are strong supporters of democracy, organizations that support freedom and human rights, the United Nations, and international courts with regard to opening up court cases inside the country against the human rights violators of the Islamic regime, including the serial killings of political activists, human rights activists, and journalists inside the country.

The governments and the people of countries that are worried about a potential war between the United States and Iran and denounce even a prediction of a potential conflict, consciously or unconsciously, resulting in bolder statements and remarks from the sick religious leaders of Iran. They also result in the continuation of Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the constant murders and oppression of the people of Iran. Isn’t it better for them, instead of denunciation of the war, to declare that there should be no war and no Islamic Republic? Because if there was no Islamic Republic, neither a war would take place, nor would we be an observer of continued human rights violations, including arrests, executions, and murders of the Iranian people and, as a consequence, observe the continual insecurity of the world governments and world citizens. And in another word, the worst and most painful form of war is found in the Islamic regime and not western countries. This war has the horrors of oppression, executions, and the stoning of the men and women—and the leaders of the regime have not and do not deny these allegations. Without any shame, they have made excuses and claim that all these acts have been justified under the ideology of unification.

Stop relations in all its forms, including enforcing the economic and trade sanctions against the terrorist Iranian regime. These sanctions have to be targeted to weaken the sources of the power of the leaders of the Islamic Republic and not to weaken the Iranian public. But my question for the democratic powers, and especially the Western European powers, is that is that why are they, knowing the unalterable nature of the Iranian government, still determined to sacrifice human rights in Iran over the economic gains of their own countries? Why would they still advocate short-term and unstable economic and trade relations instead of long-term relations after the liberation of Iran?

The Western powers should stop secret dealings and offering protection for the undemocratic and anti-populist Islamic regime if they stop their nuclear weapon ambitions. The leaders of the Western powers, especially Europe, should not forget such an important issue as human rights in Iran or glance over it without any serious consideration.

The immediate release of all political prisoners and permanently stopping oppression, arbitrary arrests, and executions in Iran by relying on pressure from world political and human rights organizations. This pressure is necessary, because of the authoritarian and totalitarian nature of the Iranian government and its religious ideology. There is no understanding the language of diplomacy and if, per chance, there are signs to the contrary, then it is simply part of the Iranian government’s tactics. By doing this, they are attempting to gain an advantage or simply lessen the world pressure that bears heavy on them at times.

Recognize and accept the refugee status of Iranian political refugees such as student activists, Iranian Kurds, and political activists who currently reside in Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Iraq, and Arab nations. These individuals, for months and at times for years, in very harsh situations, live in these countries and they are under the constant threat of deportation, and their lives are threatened by the Islamic government upon their return. Much proof and evidence exists that many refugees have either died in suspicious ways in these countries, or have been sent back to Iran and executed. And also, many of these individuals are unsure of their future when residing in European countries, and experience constant anxiety of being deported to Iran, inflicting emotional and psychological scars.

The United States should carry out an investigation relating to the suspicious activities of many financial, cultural, and religious organizations in the United States that have relations with the terrorist regime of Iran. In these investigations, the United States should utilize assistance of many Iranians who have hard evidence against these organizations and understand the relationship of heads of these organizations with many Iranian personalities.

The foreign powers should put a stop to relations with individuals that the people of Iran do not recognize. Certain individuals that mention that the main problem of the people of Iran is not human rights, but the economy, or say that the even outside of the reformist camp there is a pragmatic group worthy of negotiating with and that desires good relations with the United States. This is not true. In the Islamic regime, the Supreme Leader and the IRGC are responsible for the all the decisions and without them, no one, pragmatic or unpragmatic, cannot make a decision. This was observed during Khatami’s eight-year rule. Khatami was not able to achieve any reform because of the control of the supreme leader on Khatami and his cabinet.
The most important and real issues that the democratic governments of the world have to understand is that the Islamic Republic of Iran, because of its religious ideology, is not and will not be able to reform. If this was not the case, then some results should have been achieved during the eight years of Khatami’s government. During those eight years, it was true that people received certain minor freedoms such as freedom of speech and press and freedom to assemble, but they never had freedom and security after practicing these minor rights. After the public would practice these certain rights, they would be immediately identified by the Supreme Leader’s forces, arrested, and sent to jail. In jail, they would be faced with the worst forms of physical and emotional torture. During these events, the reformist government—fearing the Supreme Leader and the Revolutionary Guard—stayed quiet and allowed the continuation of this unfortunate coercion and force by the Supreme Leader. So, even thinking of going back to a reformist government will be continuing to follow the wrong path, and will result in more bloodshed in Iran and the world. The Iranian people have the power to stop the short-term executions, killings, and the current insecure political scene of Iran. The Iranian people do not need the military support of the free world governments, but just their moral support.
The United States government should evaluate and examine the activities of owners and directors of some nonpolitical Farsi-language satellite TV stations in California. These stations participate and cooperate with so-called private companies that in reality are terrorist organizations and organs of the Iranian Intelligence Ministry. The Iranian Intelligence Ministry has offices set up in many cities in countries such as many Gulf states, including Dubai. These TV stations accept money from these organizations to stay quiet about the political situation in Iran. The United States Congress should pass a law to stop these TV stations from accepting money from organizations that are connected with the Iranian government.
