Iran- A chain of Mothers of Murdered Iranian Dissident

The Letter of Sholeh Pakravan
 The flame of resistance and struggle in the freedom movement has always been alive and it continues to burn in the face of Iran’s stifling dictatorship that holds the world’s record in executions.
Alongside the freedom fighters, there have always been young men and women who brave the obstacles and sacrifice their own lives in responding to the call of the movement.  Each of them shines like a star, piercing through the dark night of oppression and heralding the dawn.
Following in their footsteps with love and compassion, are their mothers, sisters, and relatives who deeply believe that their loved ones did not die in vain and need to continue their path until final fruition.
Certainly, the gushing pain and anger of mothers join together and become a devastating flood that will wash away the filth of the mullahs' religious dictatorship from Iran.

Iran: Anniversary of Neda Agha-Soltan, symbol of the 2009 uprising 21 June 2016

Ms. Hajar Rostami commemorated her daughter on June 19, 2016, at her tomb while accompanied by a number of other bereaved mothers and relatives of those slain in the 2009 uprising.
Neda Agha Soltan was one of the thousands who were killed during the 2009 uprising. She was shot dead in Tehran’s Amir Abad district on June 20, 2009. A short film taken by a mobile phone and posted on the internet which showed her last moments, dying with her eyes open shocked the world and opened their eyes to the Iranian people's deep-rooted opposition to the ruling regime. Thus Neda became the symbol of the 2009 uprising.
