Shiva Nazar Ahari’s Family Send Norooz Message


Shiva Nazar Ahari’s Family Send Norooz [Iranian New Year, begins on March 20, 2010] Message.

Reported by the Committee of Human Rights Reporters (the organization that Shiva Nazar Ahari founded).

Dear Shiva, when we came to visit you today, we wanted to wish you a happy New Year, but there were so many topics to discuss that we forgot to do so.

It has been 90 days that you have been held in ward 209 of Evin prison. The days leading to the end of the [Persian calendar] year, we were expecting a phone call that would inform us of your release; similar to the [situation] of other prisoners. However, there seems to be a higher will and authority that wishes you to stay in prison.

Dear Shiva, it is very difficult for us to believe that a new year will start without you by our side. In any case, whether we like it or not, the New Year, with all its fervor and excitement, will begin soon. We hope that the last year has been a fruitful one for all our compatriots, and we wish that no person will remain imprisoned.

I promise that a new year will not begin for us until you return [home].
