Peace be upon the soul of the Almighty, Jesus Christ
I salute the great prophet who taught compassion to humanity and
brought the light of love to the world.
I offer my sincerest prayers to this divine messenger whose name
has radiated throughout history, who became the link to the gentleness of the
divine, who brought light to the darkness of the soul and alleviated the burden
of suffering, all the while inviting mankind to grace, charity and solace.
The day of our Lord Jesus Christ’s birth is grounds for casting
out conceit and brutality and for admitting purity and chastity.
I am a prisoner of conscience who has spent the last eight years
in captivity without one moment of rest or furlough but from within my cell, I
would like to offer my most heartfelt greetings, for the birth of that prophet
whose existence caressed mankind, to his followers and worshippers. I wish each
and every one of you the best of days, the respect for all life, honor and wisdom.
As I sit here in my horrifying and dark cell, I offer my tribute
and consecration to that dearest of celestials and vow to always confront those
who oppress. I vow to never become apathetic and by the power of our Lord,
spread beauty and goodness and to defy all bigotry and violence. In studying my
case, it is obvious that I adhere to the thoughtful teachings of Christ and
have observed the rites of the Almighty.
In following the wishes of the prophets, I believe in the
separation of religion and state, as a politician cannot observe divine rules.
And as the thirty five year long report card of the Islamic revolution in Iran
has shown, the first word of a politician is always a lie; they will deceive
and mismanage society via dictatorship and tyranny. As the founder of the
present regime showed, having promised the fruits of the heavens and a radiant
and incomparable future to our innocent people who are today the most
destitute, deprived and desperate people, who live in one of the richest
countries on the planet?
Therefore confronted the
slogan “our politics is akin to our religion” and now am paying the price,
under the worst physical, psychological and familial condition.
