My dear friend, Nasrin Mohammadi recently wrote an article concerning the installation of Iran's new president.
Here is her revealing article in her own words about who Rouhani really is!
I was born and raised in Iran under a regime that
has degraded my nation and our values in life.
As a person
who lost almost everything in her life in Iran, It breaks my heart to see that
the US. Government ignores all values which our nation cherishes and plays a
double standard with respect to other nations, specifically Iran.
It was so
disappointing to see over 130 congressmen sign up for a talk with Islamic
president Rouhani (so called president elect). I say “so called,” because there
is no democratic election in Iran. Iranians are coerced to go to the voting
polls under the threat that if they don’t they could lose their government
benefits.
What were
the reasons for your desperate
Nobody knows
better than me who lost her Brother (Akbar Mohammadi), arrested under Rouhani’s
direct order and later killed in prison after serving seven years of incarceration.
Akbar was a
non-violent political and human right activist, a voice of hope and freedom, while studying at Tehran University.
Akbar was a
caring person. He could not bear injustice and cruelty. He would donate his
last pennies to others if he knew that they were in need.
Akbar was a
brave, generous and a caring person.
On July 9th
1999, Akbar along with some friends tried to stop the security forces from
entering the campus that were attacking students.
According to
the recent article wrote by one of his cell mates, a prominent political
prisoner Heshmat Tabarzadi said of Akbar that, “he had three outstanding characteristics which made him the symbol of the student resistancae: bravery, truthfulness and resistance”
Tabarzadi
also added that on his bravery it suffices to say when he was sentenced to
death at the beginning of his trial; he started to prosecute the judge by undermining
his legitimacy and made it the trial of the judge.
Akbar never exaggerated the extent of the
tortures he endured. He never recanted
his beliefs or convictions while undergoing the most barbaric of tortures.
On July 30th
2006 Akbar finally died as the result of torture on the 8th day of his
hunger strike.
Political
prisoners along with student movement in Iran designated July 30 as, “National
Student Resistance Day.”
Rouhani is
one of the major players in killing Akbar and thousands more of Iranian people,
while serving as the director of the National security.
Rouhani is
now being inaugurated on the same day that he ordered the killing of Yaghoub
Mehr Nahad, the first blogger in August of 2008.
The Late Mehr
Nahad was a journalist, and the editor of the Mardom Salar news paper in Sistan
and Balouchestan. He was hanged five years ago.
At the end I
would like to say to Mr. President Obama that Iranian American people are
watching those friends in need who are friends in deed.
