Ale-Yasin Society informed about assaulting its leader in a manifesto. The manifesto says:
Ilia M. (Peyman Fattahi), the intellectual, theoretician, and conducting superintendent of Ale-Yasin Society was attacked and assaulted by officers of the religion department of [Iran] security ministry in last October. He severely injured after when he was called to the religion department (which is also called religions’ administration, anti-religions and spiritual movements’ administration, or EBA [Persian abbreviation]). The reason for this behavior was aconfidential letter written to the [supreme] leader.
Last year, he [Ilia M.] was released from the security section No. 209 of Evin prison after six months of captivity, constrained to some strict restrictions. It is told that he had been called to security ministry for thirty times after his captivity and was [attacked and] hospitalized after his last two inquiry sessions. It is worthy to mention that he was affected by some dubious physical diseases after his captivity, some of which has presently remained.
At the end of this manifesto is noted:
Having more than 160,000 members, Ale-Yasin Society is the largest N.G.O [Non-Governmental Organization] in the Middle East, consisting of several cultural institutes, associations, NGOs, magazines, and publications.
The major activities of this community are told to be cultural, researching and probing activities in various fields. According to the directions of the administration, four society magazines, namely The Art of Divine Living, The Motivators, Esoteric Science, and The Arts of Living, and also some cultural institutes of the Society were suspended with no court trial or justified reason and the rest are being forced to close down. Senior members of the Community were encountered frequent callings to security ministry, some of whom became imprisoned at section 209 of Evin prison with no defined accusation and the Society were media invaded extensively. The spokesman of the community said the society of Ale-Yasin lost support of authorities because of the distorted destructive bulletins, published by the Anti-Religions administration, included altered films and pictures of documents and personal and familial correspondences, taken by spying cameras. Moreover, some supporting authorities were threatened by the administration. Senior members of the community also lost their personal and social security as a result of audio devices placed at their homes and being chased by the administration officers.
Anti-religion administration has noticed that the conditions not to issue execution verdicts for some followers and acquaintances of “Ilia” (the 35-year old leader of Ale-Yasin) are:
- To record an ordered-fabricated confessional film of him to deny his outcomes and abilities,
- To break off all kinds of connections with mass media and human rights centers,
- Society senior members not to meet authorities,
- To criticize his own book,
- To disorganize and terminate the society.
Presently, about 40 works of Ilia “M.” and about 200 of his research projects are confiscated by this administration. Also his and his wife’s published books are collected away from market despite their permit from [Iran] ministry of Guidance.
It is worthy to say that in aiming at his incrimination, Peyman Fattahi’s wife, relatives and acquaintances have been frequently called and threatened by anti-religions administration and some of them have been imprisoned. An instance is imprisoning of his brother, Ramin Fattahi, in section 209 who hospitalized in Evin prison hospital for a dubious disease and passed away after a short period of time after he imprisoned at section 209.
According to extant documents, a huge amount of money has been spent to ruin Ilia M.’s personality and Ale-Yasin society. Some examples in case are:
- Broadcasting distorted news and assaulting articles in blogs and websites which were established for this reason and also in Keyhan and Jamejam newspapers (“The fallacious way” [or “Kaj rahe” in Persian] was a special free edition of Jamejam, in high quality papers and numerous copies, published against Ilia and Ale-Yasin community),
- Making [and broadcasting] TV series such as “Coma” [or “Eghma” in Persian],
- Performing ordered discussions on radio and television such as a TV program called “These days” broadcast this year during the month of Ramazan [in Iran]. In this program, an old member of Islamic guidance organisation, who has been famous for tormenting people, speaks in the counterfeit title of “Engineer Behzad Niloufari” as a researcher. He tries to exchange the name of Ale Yasin society with Yasin “super sect” by referring to a book called “Cults Among Us” written by Margaret Thaler Singer et al. With an evident distortion in this program, all researches of this Lady are attributed to this person and his knowledge.
- Presenting speeches and interfering prelates,
- Distribution of bulletins full of fabrications and distortions among country officials and authorities and ordinary people,
- And extended recalling for attracting private complainants.
