Who But A Mother Can Think This Way?!

It has been almost a year since Sohrab and many others were killed. This is the video I posted to my page on Facebook back then and I am rebroadcasting it in honor of what his mother, Ms. Fahimi, has just said in an interview with the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran. Click on the following post to see the video:

Ahay to keh beh khaabi, Ameegh o sard rafti
too ghalba SABZ moondi, Agar cheh zard rafti....

Shab o rooz peesh-e mani, To hanooz pish-e mani
To hanooz too sofrey-e, Del-e darvish-e mani...
To hanooz pish-e mani
To hanooz pish-e mani

"Ameneh Khatoon (Parvin) Fahimi is the mother of Sohrab Arabi, a young protester who was murdered in the aftermath of last year’s disputed presidential elections. In an interview with the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, she said that she would forgive the blood of her son on the condition of the release of all political prisoners.

Referring to the implicit threats from security officials, Fahimi said: “The sorrow of losing Sohrab, and likes of Sohrab, is dreadful and unforgettable. I thank all the young people who have courageously stood up for the likes of Sohrab so they would not be forgotten in time. While the security forces were at my home [recently], cautioning me not to be “seduced” to come out of my house to memorialize my dear son on the anniversary of his martyrdom, or to give speeches on the occasion, I tell them I would forgive the murderers of my son on the unconditional release of political prisoners.”

She said, “I lost Sohrab for the crime of freedom, love, and peace. Let remain and live the rest of the children of this land.”

She concluded her interview with a resolute poem.

The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran has also learned that in the last few weeks families of some of those who were killed after the elections were threatened not to conduct any public ceremonies for the anniversary of their dead family members. "
