Mourning Mothers Sends a Message on Executions to the Iranian People and the World
We are the mothers of today and daughters of yesterday who participated in and were active throughout the days and months of the revolution in 1979. Is it fair that 31 years following the revolution we continue to witness the execution of our children? The question is for all mothers of Iran.
We gather at Laleh Park and other parks and public spaces for the last seven months to protest the killing and imprisonment of our children. And now, we are faced with their [possible] execution.
Is it fair that us mothers should witness the annihilation of our children all these generations? Who has sentenced us mothers to a gradual death caused by the constant bereavement for our loved ones?
What have our children demanded throughout the 31 years to deserve this? Should our children’s participation in elections be rewarded by imprisonment, torture, rape, murder, and execution?
The Mourning Mothers of Iran condemn the above inhumane and illegal acts in their entirety, and we warn that if officials ignore our demand and continue their violence, they will be met with more widespread protests.
Mourning Mothers demands the following:
(1) Free all political and free-thinking prisoners.
(2) Take all the officials and those that assisted in the murders of our children to court.
Also, plead with all the people of Iran and the world to provide widespread support to our young and use whatever methods possible to stop these cruel acts from taking place.
Our livelihood depends on the lives of our children. Let us not allow a repeat of the catastrophic massacres of the 1980s.
