Seeing this photo burns me down to my bones; Reyhaneh Jabbari’s mother
Reyhaneh Jabbari |
Reyhaneh Jabbari, a 26-year old university student and decorator was hanged on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014 in Gohardasht prison by the inhumane regime of mullahs in Iran. She was accused of defending her honor stabbing a man who had attacked her during a sexual abuse when she was only 19 years old. She spent 7 years behind bars being harassed and tortured and beaten during this time and when she didn’t submit to her prison guards, met the ultimate punishment.
Amnesty International called it 'another bloody stain on the mullshs’ human rights record.'
Responding to the West’s attempts to open business with the dictators in Iran, Ms. Sholeh writes: 'Who could they close their eyes to so many being hanged in Iran. How can they know the number of executions, but turn their heads the other way?'
According to Amnesty’s records, 3 people are executed (hanged) every single day in Iran. 'How can they ignore their conscious, when they see the tears of Sattar’s mother, or Saied’s mother who has been looking for her loved one in dozens of prisons for months and months hopping to find her son? Or the tearful eyes of Neda’s mother whose daughter was shot by a government paramilitary force whose identity was later revealed by the people, but never was caught? And how can they ignore seeing the faces of dozens of young women splashed with acid by the government backed militants while not even one single suspect has been apprehended?'
She concludes her open letter to the world by saying that she is waiting for the day that world come to its senses and value the life of the people more than the value of dollar bill, the day that the most precious thing on earth would be human life and human dignity and not money…
