Respected
Members of the Western Delegation,
I offer you my
sincerest greetings.
As a man of the
cloth, who has been a prisoner of this vicious regime, my greatest hope is of
course, progress in discussions that lead to peace, freedom and the liberation
of our country from the clutches of the anti-Iranian tyrants. I have spent the
last eight years imprisoned and in the most horrible physical and psychological
conditions; my family has also suffered unimaginably.
Your arrival in
our county which brutally suffers under injustice is most welcome and we wish
you great success in confronting the violent aims and combative methods of the
black hearted rulers. My imprisonment by the claimants of religious canons is
the best proof of their greed, blasphemy and murderous nature. It is because I
have specifically taken issue with the merging of religion and politics that I
am held as their captive, endured the most horrible physical and psychological
tortures. I am almost blind, paralyzed, have had heart attacks, cancer. My call
for assistance from any and all legal sources, has gleaned no results and
though organizations such as the United Nations are in fact abreast of my
situation, there has been no response. World leaders and figures such as the
Pope have also been contacted on several occasions, to no avail. I therefore
continue to be abused by the regime security authorities.
Ladies and gentlemen,
You, who come from progressive
countries and defend human rights, when visiting our country, please do your share
in aiding those who are being held in the clutches of criminals. Please shed
light on this brutal dynasty that has taken over our country. My hope is that a
leader who hears the pleas and cries for freedom, who understands the
importance of the freedom of speech and freedom of the press. I ask you
honorable envoys to please echo the voices of our people who seek justice and
humanity. Do not allow those who seek independence of thought be buried alive
in the Evin dungeons. Please enliven the conscience of the world community to
hold accountable this tyranny; do not allow them to sit by and witness the
slaughter of those who seek liberty and whose only crime is disobedience from
institutionalized religion and confronting political Islam.
How do these defiled and rotten
overlords allow themselves to squander our country's God-given wealth to
interfere in Lebanon, Syria, Bahrain and Iraq, while our innocent people
grapple with poverty, unemployment, rampant illnesses, destitution? And if
anyone complains in this country, they meet my chained fate. I urgently request
to meet with you.
