Ahmad Batebi Biography

Ahmad Batebi is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on July 25, 1977 in Shiraz, Shiraz, Iran. Ahmad Batebi (Persian: احمد باطبی ‎; born July 25, 1977) is an Iranian activist who was designated a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International. During his studies at the University of Tehran he gained international fame for his appearance on the July 17, 1999, cover of The Economist magazine, holding up a shirt splattered with the blood of a fellow protester.

Around March 2005, Batebi was temporarily released from Evin Prison in order to get married. He failed to report back to prison. On June 23, 2005, a newspaper interview reported him “currently on the run, avoiding the authorities in Iran”. Batebi was re-arrested on July 27, 2006, and re- imprisoned. He continued to serve his sentence. However, his family was not told where he was detained until August 12, 2006, when he was permitted to telephone his wife.

During a hunger strike in August 2006 “his doctor wrote an open letter to the prison authorities” stating that Batebi “required specialist care”, and that “there was a risk he could die if he was not released.” Also adding to the fears for his life was the fate of another July 1999 protester, Akbar Mohammadi, who died in custody under suspicious circumstances in July 2006.

Somaye Bayanat, Batebi’s wife, was detained at her house outside Tehran on February 21, 2007. “Her whereabouts are not known to Amnesty International. Amnesty International fears that she may be at risk of intimidation, harassment or ill-treatment because of her connection to Ahmad Batebi.”

Following an outcry from Iranians and international human rights groups, his death sentence was commuted to a 15-year prison term by Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. Upon appeal in early 2000, the sentence was further reduced to 10 years.

The student protests of 1999 began on July 7 with peaceful demonstrations in Tehran against the closure of the reformist newspaper, Salam. This was followed by an attack on a student dormitory that night by vigilantes and riot police in which a student was killed. This in turn sparked six days of demonstrations and rioting in which at least three more people were killed and more than 200 injured.

The photo, which has been called “an icon for Iran’s student reform movement”, was taken during the Iranian Student Protests in July 1999 in Tehran. Following its publishing, Batebi was arrested, tried in closed-door proceedings, found guilty of “creating street unrest”, and sentenced to death.

By September 20, 2006, his relatives were permitted to visit him in prison three times. During their first two visits, Batebi’s family was accompanied by four prison guards, although their third visit, on September 18, was reportedly less heavily supervised. Batebi was not permitted to see his lawyer.
