Original Report by Kaleme

February 24th, 2011 – Without any news regarding their parents, Mousavi and Rahnavard’s children write a letter describing the pain and suffering they have endured over the past two weeks. In this letter, they explain that the last telephone conversation with their parents took place on the afternoon of February 14th, 2011 [25 Bahman 1389]. Since then, despite daily visits to Akhtar street where their parents live, in order to inquire about their well being, they have experience nothing but insults, aggressiveness, profanities and defiance.

In their letter of complaint, Mousavi and Rahnavard’s daughters write that when inquiring about the whereabouts of their parents from the agents deployed around their house, they were told that it is none of their business.  When they asked what judicial warrant their parents’ house arrest was based on, they were also told that it is none of their business.

Mousavi’s daughters further explain that in recent days, a second long iron gate has been installed behind the first iron barrier that was recently built at the entrance of Akhtar street. The entrance to Mousavi’s house is now guarded through two iron barriers and it appears as though the lights at their parents’ residence are always off.

While reiterating that they have no news regarding the living conditions, nutrition and well being of their parents and are no longer able to enter Akhtar street, Mousavi and Rahnavard’s children write: “There was a time when we considered Pasteur and Akhtar street as our primary home, filled with simplicity, kindness, tranquility and respect. About 1100 meters long, it was hardly a castle, but a lovable, old home filled with flowers and trees planted by a father who was a poet and painter at heart; a house in which my father’s Quran was placed on his prayer rug filled with the perfume of Kaaba; a house filled with my mother’s love, passion and hustle and bustle. Today, Pasteur and Akhtar street have been enclosed behind iron barriers; and no one is aware of what is going on behind these illegal barriers.”

Mousavi’s daughters demand: “What have they done except to seek justice?  Why were they responded to with disrespect and insolence? Is this the response to our father’s tireless efforts during the 8 year war he fought during his youth. Is this what we call compassion for a middle aged and aging man? Life is so cruel and forgetful!  Our parents are one of many mothers and fathers who have long demanded their rights only to be responded to in such a cowardly fashion. The bullets and whips tell the full and controversial story of our pain and sorrow.

According to Kaleme, the full content of this letter is as follows:

In the name of justice,

We saw our mother and father for the last time two weeks ago. We were sitting together and though the customary delight of being together had been corroded by the years of pain and sorrow, we nevertheless felt the love of our parents so deeply that it would have been hard to believe that only three days later we would be denied of their love.

We heard my mother’s voice by phone for the last time on the afternoon of February 14th, 2011 [25 Bahman 1389]. A van was blocking the entrance to Akhtar street. We assumed that it would be temporary. It never occurred to us that we would have to stand behind a gate for 13 days longing to hear their voices or find out if they are alive and well. Instead we faced a gate that never opened and lights that never turned on….

We went to visit with them last week. The van was parked so as to make it impossible for anything or anyone to enter the street. The entrance was completely blocked. The men coming out of the van were wearing masks and chewing gum.  When we inquired as to what judicial indictment deprived children of the right to see their parents they insolently responded: “It is none of your business if we have a judgment, who ordered the judgment and where it came from.” We asked them how many individuals were in the van and they once again responded: “It is none of your business.” We asked why the windows of the van were tinted and yet again the same response: “It is none of your business.”

Was it really our business where our parents were? In a period of 72 hours, we had turned into strangers leaning on a van. Afternoon arrived as the men in masks watched us. They stared at us defiantly without answering any questions. When darkness approached the lights did not turn on. The house only became darker, with no sign of life, complete silence, not even a garbage bag at the door step of the residence.

They had even dismissed the bodyguards.  We left, a few men following us from the beginning of Akhtar, to Farvardin and Pasteur street .  They were so close to us that they probably heard our voices.

The next night was returned.  This time they stopped us from entering at the entrance of Khorshid street. Their response to our statement that every worried child has a right to inquire about their parents was either silence or insolence.

It was raining on Pasteur street, the only light emanating from the electric welding machine that was welding a dark, iron barrier as dark as our days,  at the entrance to Akhtar street.  We walked on the opposite sidewalk to get a glimpse of what was going on, but were stopped by two men. They insulted us. They told us “you attacked for over a year and now it is our turn.” The men were once again masked.  In addition to the van, they were welding a large iron gate, worse than the iron barrier at the entrance of the street.

They told us that our parents deserved this, but we weren’t interested in having political discussions.  We were only there as concerned children. They told us that they were glad they killed people this past year.  “We killed them because they were worthless”, they said.  As we heard their statements the faces of Neda, Sohrab and Mohsen and so many others faces of our beloved colleagues smeared with blood appeared in front of our eyes. We kept hearing the moans of morning mothers. Who was this person who claimed that those he killed were worthless? He said: “Allah said even your cries are lies.” He went on and on and showed us his weapon and asked us to leave.  When we insisted on a reason he replied: “We will call in the security forces and have you all removed by force.” It felt as though the bare trees in that long street were shouting “What are they guilty of? ” They shouted that the girls of the land of water and fire have been taught by their parents to never fear.

The kids were impatient. The two year old wanted to run the short distance between Khorshid and Akhtar street as customary, shouting out his grandfather’s name, awaiting his innocent smile and warm, kind embrace.  The seven year old stood in a corner crying, his eyes filled with nostalgia.  Their cameras were taking constant pictures of this scene, as though even our children were included in the list of enemies to be taken to their offices to be threatened some day.

There was no sign of lights in the house, no sign of life to give us hope that our mother and father were still there.  Although unjustly under house arrest… speaking of justice…. these days are so difficult to bear.

We informed the agents who stopped us from entering the street that all we wanted was to walk to the end of the street. They replied: “What is the point of seeing the end of the street? Seeing the street is meaningless.” We insisted that Akhtar street is where our parents live, where we live. This street symbolizes our mother’s tireless steps exhausted with pain; it is a street that belongs to a father whose heart beats for the children of Iran. To us this street symbolizes all that is secure and safe. It is heaven. It smells like God. It smells of the Jasmine flowers next to our father’s prayer rug. It represents our common pain…

That bitter and dark night finally passed… At that moment, we didn’t even curse them, as God was witness to their behavior.  God was witness to their injustice and irrationality. God was witness to our anxious and beating hearts. God was witness to the restlessness of our young children in the cold, winter night.

For two nights, our hands tied, not knowing who to turn to, we headed towards Pasteur street at midnight.  They had installed a massive, black gate at the entrance of the street. There was a small compartment that was closed and locked from the outside. From a corner we could see three cars parked inside the street. After knocking on the door for a long period of time a man wearing a mask asked us what we wanted.  All we wanted was news about our parents, a sign that they were still in their house, that they were in good health.  We wanted to know if they were being fed and whether the food they were receiving was safe; but all we were left with were years of bitter experiences and a series of disturbing events.

They didn’t provide us with a response. They once again threatened to call the police to remove us from the area. They insulted and remained silent. We demanded: “Would you be behaving this way if they were your own parents? What have they done, except to fight for justice? Must they be responded to with insolence and disrespect?  Is this the response to our father’s tireless efforts during the 8 year war he fought during his youth. Is this what we call compassion for a middle aged and aging man? Life is so cruel and forgetful!  Our parents are one of many mothers and fathers who have long demanded their rights only to be responded to in such a cowardly fashion. The bullets and whips tell the full and controversial story of our pain and sorrow.

We went to Pasteur street once again with the hope to find out about our mother and father’s well being.  This time they had even covered the small holes in the iron gate with a metal sheet.  This time they didn’t even allow us to enter the street.  They told us that they have orders to make sure that Mousavi’s family does not enter Pasteur street.  Is this justice? Justice… such an meek word… even more oppressed that the mourning families of our martyrs and the concerned hearts of the families of those unjustly imprisoned.

After insisting, we finally entered the street and looked into the street through the half centimeter opening. They had installed a large iron door behind the first black gate.  What was all this fear and conspiracy all about?  Why so many iron gates and locks? Who did these masked men get their orders from? Who gave them permission to hide our mother and father behind these dark iron doors? What have they done with the sunshine of our lives? Had the security officers whose identity was unknown settled into our father’s small office? Had they seized his office? Had they taken over his house? Why were they denying their children, grandchildren and grooms the right to meet with them or obtain any news about their well being?

They had no judicial warrant. There was no transparency. They had no respect, not that we expected those who put our parents under house arrest to respect us.  Our parents were denied the basic rights of every citizen, to ensure their well being and provide transparency regarding their meals and medication.  They didn’t even have the courage to inform us where they get their orders from. They didn’t have the courage to remove their masks to face the children of the two innocents they have put under house arrest. There was a time when we considered Pasteur and Akhtar street our primary home, filled with simplicity, kindness, tranquility and respect. About 1100 meters long, it was hardly a castle, but a lovable old home filled with flowers and trees planted by a father who was a poet and painter at heart; a house in which my father’s Quran was placed on his prayer rug filled with the perfume of Kaaba; a house filled with my mother’s love, passion and hustle and bustle. Today Pasteur and Akhtar street have been enclosed behind iron barriers and no one is aware of what is going on behind these illegal barriers.

We are fully aware that our mother and father were not tried in a competent court.  We are fully aware that our parents have committed no crime.  We know that the fact that they have installed two large metal gates at the entrance to their street is not good news.  We also know that when the lights don’t turn on it is also not good news.

It has been two weeks since we last saw our parents. During this time we have heard nothing but insults and profanities. We have faced cold and heartless gazes, not sure who to turn to and if anyone hears our cries…

We are only sure of one thing, that God is our innocent companion.

رنجنامه فرزندان موسوی و رهنورد: این درد را کجا فریاد بزنیم

پنجشنبه, ۵ اسفند, ۱۳۸۹

چکیده :جواب هشت سال نشسته خوابیدن پدر در سالهای جنگ، مبارزه درسالهای جوانی و میانسالی و دلسوزی در پیری این است؟ چه بی رحم است و فراموشکار این روزگار! که این تنها قسمت پدر و مادر ما نیست که سهم مادران و پدران دردمند بسیاری است که پاسخ حق جویی خود را چنین ناجوانمردانه دریافته اند. و گلوله ها و تازیانه ها بیش از درد ما راوی این داستان تثار…

فرزندان میرحسین موسوی و زهرا رهنورد، از رهبران جنبش اعتراضی سبز، در نامه ای شرح درد و رنجی را که در این دو هفته بی خبری از پدر و مادر بر آنها رفته، روایت کرده اند. آنها در نامه خود توضیح داده اند که آخرین تماس با پدر و مارشان مربوط به غروب ۲۵ بهمن ماه بوده است و از آن روز بارها و بارها به کوچه اختر که خانه پدری شان در آن واقع است رفته اند و جویای سلامت پدر و مادر خود شده اند اما جز توهین، پرخاشگری، فحاشی و یا بی اعتنایی ندیده اند.

دختران موسوی و رهنورد در رنجنامه ی خود نوشته اند که وقتی از ماموران مستقر در اطراف کوچه اختر پرسیده اند که پدر و مادرمان کجا هستند، به آنها گفته اند که به شما چه ربطی دارد؟ و وقتی می پرسند براساس کدامین حکم قانونی پدر و مادر را

در حصر کرده اید باز هم پاسخ شنیده اند که به شما چه مربوط؟

آنها در نامه خود نوشته اند که به تازگی حتی پشت در بزرگ و سیاه فلزی که ابتدای کوچه اختر نصب شده، یک در بزرگ آهنین نیز نصب کرده اند و اکنون معبر ورودی خانه میرحسین با دو بزرگ فلزی محافظت می شود.همچنین توضیح داده اند که به نظر می رسد که چراغهای خانه پدری شان خاموش است.

فرزندان میرحسین و رهنورد با تاکید بر اینکه هیچ اطلاعی از شرایط زندگی، غذا و سلامت پدر و مادرشان دردست نیست و اکنون هیچ راهی برای ورود به کوچه اختر و خانه پدری ندارند، نوشته اند:

«روزی خیابان پاستور. کوچه اختر برای ما خانه اولمان بود. پر از سادگی و صفا و مهربانی و احترام ! ۱۱۰۰ متر نبود! قصر هم نبود! یک خانه دوست داشتنی قدیمی با گلها و درختهایی که پدری شاعر و نقاش کاشته بود با عطر پرده کعبه که از لای قرآن جانماز پدر می آمد و خانه ای آکنده از مهر و شور و جنبش مادر . امروز خیابان پاستور، کوچه اختر را با دیوار فلزی حصر کرده اند. حصاری غیر قانونی که هیچ از پشت آن اطلاع نداریم.»

دختران موسوی و رهنورد در بخش دیگری از نامه ی خود چند ین سوال طرح کرده اند:«آنها چه کرده اند؟ جز طلبیدن حق؟جوابش فحاشی و بی احترامی است؟ جواب هشت سال نشسته خوابیدن پدر در سالهای جنگ، مبارزه درسالهای جوانی و میانسالی و پیری دلسوزی این است؟ چه بی رحم است و فراموشکار این روزگار! که این تنها قسمت پدر و مادر ما نیست که سهم مادران و پدران دردمند بسیاری است که پاسخ حق جویی خود را چنین ناجوانمردانه دریافته اند. و گلوله ها و تازیانه ها بیش از درد ما راوی این داستان تاثر برانگیزند.

به گزارش کلمه، متن کامل این نامه  به شرح زیر است:

به نام حق

آخرین بار که دیدیم شان دو هفته پیش بود، دور هم بودیم نه اینکه دلشاد که همهمه حزن و درد آسیب خوردگان این سالها جایی برای شادی ما باقی نگذاشته بود امامهر مادری و پدری انقدر نزدیکمان بود که باور نمی کردیم که تنها سه روز بعد از ما دریغ شود این همه لطف.

غروب ۲۵ بهمن آخرین بار صدای مادر را شنیدیم، از پشت تلفن . یک خودروی ون کوچه اختر را بسته بود. فکر کردیم موقتی است شاید…فکر کردیم مگر می شود ۱۳ روز پشت دری ایستاد و به انتظارصدایی و اشاره ای که مادر و پدر هنوز هستند، زنده هستند، سالم هستند و دری و درهایی که هیچ وقت گشوده نشوند و چراغ های خانه ای که روشن نشوند دیگر.

یک هفته پیش به سراغشان رفتیم. خودروی ون به شکلی پارک شده بود که از کنارش یک کاغذ هم رد نمی شد. مردانی که از خودرو پیاده شدند، نقاب داشتند. آدامس می جویدند و در جواب سوال ما که براساس کدام حکم فرزندانی را ازدیدن پدر و مادرشان محروم می کنید، پرخاش کردند: «به شما چه مربوط که حکم کجاست؟از کجاست؟از طرف کیست؟پرسیدیم در خودروی ون چند نفر هستید؟باز هم پرخاش که به شما چه مربوط؟ پرسیدیم شیشه های خودروی تان چرا سیاه است؟گفتند به شما چه مربوط؟»

واقعا به ما چه مربوط بود که پدر و مادرمان کجا هستند؟! به فاصله تنها ۷۲ ساعت، آنقدر غریبه شده بودیم!

تکیه زدیم به ماشین. غروب هم رسید.مردان نقاب دارمی پاییدند ما را.توی صورتمان زل می زدند و می کاویدند و جوابی هم نمی دادند. تاریکی شب که رسید چراغی روشن نشد. خانه همچنان تاریک و تاریک تر می شد.هیچ نشانی از زندگی هم نبود. نه صدایی…نه حتی کیسه زباله ای کنار در.

محافظان را هم مرخص کرده بودند. بازگشتیم. چند مرد هم دنبالمان. از بن بست اختر تا فروردین، سر پاستور پشت سر ما می آمدند. با فاصله ای آنقدر اندک که لابد صدای مان را بشنوند.

فردا شب بازگشتیم.این بار از سر کوچه ی خورشید، کوچه ی کناری هم راه مان ندادند. در جواب سوال های معمول که هر فرزند نگرانی حق پرسیدن دارد یا سکوت کردند یا پرخاش.

باران می بارید و روشنایی خیابان پاستور فقط برق های دستگاه جوشکاری بود. همان که دری به سیاهی این روزهایمان را سر کوچه اختر جوش می داد. از پیاده روی مقابل که رفتیم ببینیم چه می گذرد، دو مرد مانع شدند. توهین کردند. گفتند یک سال شما تاختید و حال نوبت ماست. بازهم مردان نقاب داشتند.علاوه بر خودروی ون، دری بزرگ و آهنی. بدتر از میله های زندان سر کوچه جوش می دادند.

می گفتند: حقشان است و ما نمی خواستیم بحث سیاسی کنیم. ما تنها فرزندانی نگران بودیم. گفتند این یک سال هم اگر کشتیم، خوب کردیم که کشتیم. ما کشتیم ، چون آنها را که کشتیم، آدم نبودند. صورت ندا و سهراب و محسن روح الامینی مقابل چشمانمان آمد. و باز صورت و صورت به خون غلتیده یاران دیگر وعلی و خانواده اش.

ناله های مادرانه در گوشمان می پیچید. و صبر دردمندانه عمه بر پیکر علی و مادران بر مزارها. این چه کسی بود که می گفت آدم نبودند، آنها را که کشتیم! گفت : «الله اکبر گفتن هایتان هم دروغ است.»گفت و گفت و گفت. اسلحه نشانمان دادند و باز هم راندند ما را.

در جواب اصرار ما برای خواستن دلیلی، گفتند «زنگ می زنیم نیروی انتظامی بیاید و همه شما را ببرد. »در آن خیابان بلند، گویی درختان بی برگ فریاد می زدند به کدامین گناه؟ فریاد می زدند که دختران آب و آتش را پدر و مادری از جنس کوه و سرو و گلهای یاس سالهاست که از ترس رهانده اند.

بچه ها بی تابی می کردند.کودک دو ساله می خواست به عادت معهود فاصله کوتاه کوچه خورشید و اختر را بدود و اسم پدربزرگش را صدا کند و آن لبخند دردمند و بیگناه و آن دستهای گرم و مهربان در آغوشش بگیرد . بهانه می گرفت.آن دیگری ،هفت ساله، گوشه ای کز کرده بود و ابراز دلتنگی می کرد و می گریست. دوربین هایشان مدام از این صحنه ها عکس می گرفت .تا حتی کودکانمان نیز بسان دشمنی در دفترشان برای تهدید و روز مبادا گنجانده شوند!

بازهم چراغی توی خانه روشن نبود.هیچ نشانی که دلگرم مان کند که پدر و مادرمان هنوز توی خانه هستند، اگرچه محصور و به ناحق … و صحبت از حق چه این روزها دشوار است!

به مامورانی که مانع ورود ما شده بودند گفتیم که می خواهیم تا سر کوچه برویم . گفتند می خواهید کوچه را ببینید که چه؟ اصلا کوچه چه مفهومی دارد ؟ گفتیم کوچه ی اختر یعنی خانه ی پدر و مادر.خانه ی ما . کوچه یعنی ردپای خسته مادری که به اندازه تمام جهان درد داشت . پدری که دلش برای فرزندان ایران می تپید . برای ما یعنی تمام لحظات امنیت.یعنی بهشت. یعنی بوی خدا، یعنی عطر یاس های کنار جانماز پدر، یعنی درد مشترک.

آن شب به تلخی و سنگینی گذشت…

آن لحظه نفرین هم نکردیم .به ما گفت بودند نفرین نکنید که این جهان آه کشیدیم. خدا ناظربود. ناظر این ظلم و بی منطقی. ناظر تپیدن دل های مضطرب ما، بی تابی بچه های کوچمکان توی سرمای شبانگاهی زمستان.

دو شب ما که دستمان از همه جا کوتاه بود و نمی دانستیم دادمان را از کدام بی داد گری بخواهیم نیمه شب عازم خیابان پاستور شدیم.

دری غول پیکر و سیاه سر کوچه گذاشته بودند. با یک محفظه کوچک که آن هم بسته بود و در از بیرون قفل شده بود . از گوشه در می دیدم . سه ماشن توی کوچه پارک شده است بعد از در زدن های طولانی مردی با نقاب از پشت در گفت چه می خواهید؟

چه می خواستیم جز خبری، نشانی، از بودن پدر و مادر در خانه، از سلامت آنها. از اینکه غذایی می رسد به آنها؟ اگر می رسد سالم است اصلا؟ ما بودیم و تجربه تلخ سالها حوادث نگران کننده.

جوابمان را ندادند. بازهم تهدید کردند که می گوییم پلیس بیاید ببرندتان، توهین، قضاوت و سکوت:

پدر و مادر خودتان هم بود، همین داستان بود؟آنها چه کرده اند؟ جز طلبیدن حق؟جوابش فحاشی و بی احترامی است؟ جواب هشت سال نشسته خوابیدن پدر در سالهای جنگ، مبارزه درسالهای جوانی و میانسالی و دلسوزی در پیری این است؟ چه بی رحم است و فراموشکار این روزگار! که این تنها قسمت پدر و مادر ما نیست که سهم مادران و پدران دردمند بسیاری است که پاسخ حق جویی خود را چنین ناجوانمردانه دریافته اند. و گلوله ها و تازیانه ها بیش از درد ما راوی این داستان تاثر برانگیزند.

باری دیگر باز برای سراغ گرفتن و خبری هرچند کوچک از سلامتی پدر و مادرمان به پاستور رفتیم. این بار حتی منفذ باریک میان دو لنگه در فلزی را هم با ورقه ای آهنین پوشانده بودند. اصلا از سر خیابان هم راهمان نمی دادند.گفتند دستور این است که خانواده موسوی حق ندارند وارد پاستور شوند! آی ی ی حق! تو چه واژه مظلومی هستی! مظلومتر از خانوادهای داغدار شهیدان و دل نگران اسیران!

بالاخره با اصرار تا سر کوچه رفتیم و از باریکه نیم سانتی که باز بود با زحمت توی کوچه را نگاه کردیم.پشت این در سیاه فلزی یک در بزرگ آهنین دیگر هم نصب کرده بودند! موازی همان یکی که قبل تر بود . این همه ترس و پنهان کاری برای چیست؟! این همه در آهنی و حفاظ و قفل برای چیست؟ این مردان نقاب پوش بدون حکم به دستور چه کسی پدر و مادری را در پس درهای آهنین پنهان کرده اند؟ آفتاب زندگی ما را ؟ مگر نه اینکه آفتاب طلوع می کند نوازشگر و مهربان تا صبح دل انگیز ظهور؟

آیا ماموران امنیتی با هویت ناشناس در دفتر کوچک کار پدرم سکنی کرده اند؟ دفترش را غصب کرده اند؟ خانه اش را غصب کرده اند؟ نوه ها و فرزندان و دامادها را محروم کرده اند از دیداری و گرفتن خبری.

بدون حکم قضایی، بدون احترام. بدون شفافیت. که مارا صد البته نیازی به احترام کسی که پدر و مادرمان را در حصر کرده است نیست. کسی که مایل است مخوف و پر از پنهان کاری باشد. حصری که در آن حتی حقوق یک شهروند متهم عادی که سلامتش تایید می شود و سلامت غذا و دارویش نیز مشخص است، در آن رعایت نشده است. شجاعت این را ندارند که بگویند از کدام مافوق دستور می گیرند؟ شجاعت این را ندارند که نقاب هایشان را بردارند و با فرزندان این دومحصور روبرو شوند.

روزی خیابان پاستور. کوچه اختر برای ما خانه اولمان بود. پر از سادگی و صفا و مهربانی و احترام ! ۱۱۰۰ متر نبود! قصر هم نبود! یک خانه دوست داشتنی قدیمی با گلها و درختهایی که پدری شاعر و نقاش کاشته بود با عطر پرده کعبه که از لای قرآن جانماز پدر می آمد و خانه ای آکنده از مهر و شور و جنبش مادر . امروز خیابان پاستور، کوچه اختر را با دیوار فلزی حصر کرده اند. حصاری غیر قانونی که هیچ از پشت آن اطلاع نداریم.

می دانیم پدر و مادرمان در هیچ محکمه صالحی محاکمه نشده اند. می دانیم پدر و مادرمان اصلا جرمی مرتکب نشده اند. می دانیم وقتی دو در بزرگ فلزی سر خانه نصب کرده اند، معنای خوبی ندارد.می دانیم وقتی چراغی روشن نمی شود مفهوم خوبی ندارد.

دو هفته می گذرد از ندیدن شان. هیچ چیز نشنیدیم جز فحاشی و توهین و نگاههای سرد و یخی. نمی دانیم این درد را کجا فریاد بزنیم.

تنها می دانیم که خداوند یاور مظلومان است

می دانیم که نور زخورشید جو بو که برآید

Original Report by Saham News

February 23, 2011 - Following the raid of Mehdi Karroubi’s residence by security forces two days ago, in which Mehdi Karroubi and his wife Fatemeh were locked in different rooms while their house was searched and books and documents were confiscated, the latest reports point to the fact that security agents are now deployed inside the building and have cleared the street. According to Saham News, as of this morning, intelligence agents have now transferred their vehicles and equipment inside their property and completely occupied the building.  It is also being reported that as of 10 days ago, all necessities for Karroubi and his wife are being provided by security forces, a development of concern, given similar cases in the past in which physical elimination [of the individual] has been the direct objective.

In light of the fact that Karroubi and his wife were in perfect health prior to their house arrest, in a letter addressed to the authorities, Karroubi’s family stated that they will hold government officials responsible for any incident occurring as a result of food and other items being provided to Karroubi and his wife by intelligence officers.

Since Mehdi Karroubi’s children have not been allowed to provide any necessities to their parents in the past two weeks and even the fruit delivered by one of their children was rejected by security forces, Karroubi’s children have explicitly warned government officials, security forces, and intelligence agents against carrying out any plans designed to physically eliminate Mehdi Karroubi and his wife Fatemeh Karroubi, declaring that the consequences of such actions will only further damage this regime.

اعلام اخطار صریح خانواده کروبی به نیروهای امنیتی

سحام نیوز: پس از یورش دو روز قبل نیروهای امنینی به منزل مهدی کروبی و حبس ایشان و فاطمه کروبی در اتاق های جداگانه، آخرین شنیده ها حاکی از آن است که ماموران امنیتی با مستقر شدن در داخل ساختمان، کوچه را تخلیه نموده اند. به گزارش سحام نیوز، ماموران اطلاعاتی از صبح امروز با انتقال خودرو  و تجهیزات خود به داخل ساختمان، این مجتمع را به صورت کامل اشغال نمودند.  بنا به اخبار رسیده مایحتاج آقای کروبی وهمسر ایشان در حال حاضر و از ۱۰ روز قبل توسط نیروهای امنیتی تامین می گردد که این موضوع باعث نگرانی از ایجاد یک برنامه حذف فیزیکی با استناد به موارد مشابه می شود.

خانواده مهدی کروبی در نامه ای با توجه به این موضوع که تا قبل از حبس خانگی؛ مهدی کروبی و همسر ایشان در کمال صحت و سلامت بوده اند، هر گونه پیش آمد اتفاقی پس از این و به جهت استفاده از اقلام خوراکی تهیه شده توسط ماموران اطلاعات برای ایشان، به عهده مقامات حکومتی خواهد بود.  فرزندان مهدی کروبی در اخطاری صریح به مقامات امنیتی و نیروهای اطلاعاتی گوش زد نمودند که با توجه به این که از دوهفته قبل امکان تهیه مایحتاج برای منزل پدرشان فراهم نبوده و حتی ماموران امنیتی میوه خریداری شده توسط یکی از فرزندان را هم قبول نکرده بودند؛ حکومت و نیروهای امنیتی را از انجام هرگونه برنامه برای حذف فیزیکی مهدی کروبی و فاطمه کروبی برحذر داشته و صریحا اعلام نمودند عواقب این اقدامات، دودیست که به چشم حکومت خواهد رفت.

Persian Report by JARAS | Interview by Masih Alinejad
Translation by Tour Irani | Edited by Persian2English

JARAS – My brother loved freedom. He loved life. He was tired [of the actions of Iran government] and participated in Feb. 14th demonstration like many other youngsters just to say that he loved his country. Now neither myself, nor any of my family members, can believe that Mohammad is no longer with us. This is so cruel when we see that those who had no relation to my brother stole his coffin.

These are excerpts by a family member of Mohammad Mokhtari, a 22-year-old who was shot on Feb 14th during a demonstration and subsequently lost his life. After his death, due to security pressures his family has refrained from speaking to the media but Majid Mokhtari has said that he cannot hold back anymore.

Majid Mokhtari is the brother of Mohammad Mokhtari. He had to be hospitalized after hearing of his brother’s death. Now after days of shock and not feeling well, he came online and was greatly upset when he saw the published pictures of Mohammad Mokhtari’s funeral procession in state media.

He tells JARAS in a phone interview: “It’s like someone is telling me a story. A story about a brother who loved life. But he was killed and someone is trying to change his story. And it is painful to see the lifeless body of my brother on the shoulders of people whose faces are not at all familiar to me, his brother.”

State media had reported that the “revolutionary people” buried the body of Mohammad Mokhtari while chanting slogans against “sedition” leaders and that he was killed by [People's Mojehedin Organization of Iran] elements! They did not even point out his true identity and Mohammad Mokhtari’s latest entry on his Facebook page which read: “Oh God, please give me the honor to die on my feet, for I am tired of living seated and humiliated.” As such, the bodies of two people who were killed during February 14th demonstrations in Tehran have been stolen by plain clothes thugs and have been buried under the watchful eyes of state security.

Regime supporters have done a similar thing with Saneh Jaleh, the other youngster who was killed on Feb. 14th. He was reported by state news agency, Fars News as a having been a “Basij member” (they issued him a fake Basij Membership Card) and similar funeral processions were held for him.

Majid Mokhtari, the brother of Mohammad Mokhtari, has started speaking for the first time:

When did you first hear about the death of your brother Mohammad Mokhtari?

I live away from Iran and follow the news through the internet. I went out on February 14th. When I returned home, I talked with a friend of mine in Iran through Skype and asked him what was going in Iran. I also followed the news myself through the internet, but I still had no idea. The next morning, I went to the university. I was sitting in a classroom and I kept receiving text messages from friends. They kept asking me how I was feeling. This was strange to me. I even received a text message from my uncle asking me where I was. I still didn’t know why everyone was asking me how I was. Then I noticed a few of my Iranian friends came to the university. I asked them what was going on and they told me that they have just come to the take me out for a walk for no particular reason. While walking, I was also checking my Facebook pages. All of a sudden, I read a message from a Facebook friend who asked me if ‘I was related to the martyr Mohammad Mokhtari?’ Suddenly the Earth shook under my feet and I lost the ability to walk. My friends noticed my condition and held me by my arms and they kept asking if something was wrong! I asked them if they knew anything! ‘Has anything happened to my brother Mohammad?’ After that, I don’t know what happened. My blood pressure went down. It was an incredible shock. It’s not easy to hear the news about your brother’s death, especially when you are so far away. It immobilizes you. I was hospitalized since last Tuesday, and I still cannot believe the news is real.

When was the last time you talked to Mohammad?

A few days before February 14th, I was in contact with my brother through Facebook. A week prior, we talked over Skype. My brother was sitting next to my father and mother, when I asked him about the latest news, he was trying hard to hide the fact from my parents that he was going to go to the demonstrations. He did not want to worry them. Mohammad was a very humorous  man. I talked to my mother after his death. She also cannot believe that Mohammad is gone. My mother was saying that on February 14th she had jokingly told Mohammad: “let sit and have our last lunch together.” My brother went out to the demonstrations, laughing and full of humor, and never returned.

How do you feel when you see the pictures of the funeral procession of your brother and is the picture of a middle-aged man crying of your father?

In the beginning, the doctors would not allow me to see the pictures in the hospital, but later when I finally saw them I broke down. Yes, I saw the picture of my father who was hugging another friend of Mohammad’s and crying. But I don’t know the rest of the people who were carrying the coffin. Who are these bearded and strange-looking people burying my brother?  It’s very painful. I looked through all the pictures to see at least a few people with whom my brother had spent time in his life but their numbers were very limited. I don’t know what to say. This is very cruel that first they kill Mohammad and then they don’t even let us to freely cry for him. I hear that they tell families of martyrs things like: “you have two other sons, so you should be careful about what you say and how you act regarding Mohammad’s death”. Is this justice? There is no reason to kill an innocent person in broad daylight and then when this happens, in order to relieve our own conscience, we say that ‘he wanted to join his friends!’ No! He wanted freedom… He was tired of this country… Everybody was tired…

Would you tell me about Mohammad a little? What were some of the things he liked? What dreams did he have?

I had recently won the United States Green Card lottery. Mohammad had set all his hopes on me and wanted me to get him out of Iran someday. He wanted to live freely. Now everyone is trying to console me saying that Mohammad met his fate. But I don’t know. He loved sports and music. He loved life. He loved freedom… I cannot believe that all this love is gone. He used to always tell me: “Majid why have you lost so much weight? You should go to a sports club and take care of yourself.” He himself was always into sports. He loved singing. He was very lively. He was full of life. I used to get emotional and tell him: “They [Iranian regime] have killed so many people in the demonstrations”. I used to worry for him. But Mohammad was very active on the internet. He had even changed his Facebook profile picture to the poster for February 14th demonstration. And anyone searching for his name on Facebook, would find him with a green wristband and therefore the regime was not able to issue him a fake “Basij Membership Card”.

When did you last contact your family and how is their emotional state?

They are worried. They have lost a dear one. They cannot talk freely and they keep changing the subject. I want to know how they [Iranian regime] killed my brother. I have heard two different stories. One said that he had a gunshot wound on his head but the other story says that a bullet hit his shoulder area, he fell, got up, tried to move, but fell again. As a brother, it’s natural for me to want to know which story is true. But whenever I ask my family, they are very careful in responding and prefer not to talk about it. I believe that when they warned my family about their other two sons, this was in fact a threat.

What’s your most important memory of Mohammad?

All brothers fight at some point. I remember when Mohammad had just lost his best friend, Rouzbeh,  he had turned much more sensitive. Therefore when we got in fights, I used to go make up with him quickly. I loved him so much that I could not bear seeing him hurt. Mohammad and I were not just two brothers. We were friends. We shared a lot. Losing Rouzbeh had really affected him in a negative way. Here, being away from Iran, when I saw a picture of the tombstone of Mohammad, I also saw Rouzbeh’s grave next to his. It’s so difficult to see that my brother with all his life dreams is now buried.

What would you like to say to the officials?

I just cannot say anything. It’s painful. It is the highest level of cruelty to try to change someone’s life story! To try to change the identity of the murderer and to try to show things in your own favor, when I see them do these things and how they quickly pick up the coffin and gather around it and wrap it with the Islamic Republic flag, it’s nauseating. I cannot believe that they do these things. I really don’t know how they are going to justify their actions later. This lie is not even the type of lie that Ahmadinejad often tells. This lie is like, you know who the murderer is and you are still lying. You are turning everything around 180 degrees right in front of people’s eyes. The whole process was controlled. What can I say. Mohammad loved life. He didn’t deserve to be killed.

برادر شهید محمد مختاری: درد آور است که حتی تابوت برادرم را هم دزدیده اند

مسیح علی نژاد
جرس: «محمد عاشق آزادی بود، محمد عاشق زندگی بود، محمد خسته شده بود مثل خیلی از جوان های دیگر در راهپیمایی ۲۵ بهمن شرکت کرد تا بگوید کشورش را دوست دارد. حالا نه من و نه هیچ یک از اعضای خانواده ام نمی توانیم باور کنیم که محمد دیگر بین ما نیست، این نامردی است وقتی می بینم تابوت محمد را کسانی که هیچ نسبتی با برادرم نداشتند دزدیدند.»

اینها بخشی از ناگفته های یکی از اعضای خانواده ی محمد مختاری جوان ۲۲ ساله ای است که در راهپیمایی ۲۵ بهمن هدف گلوله قرار گرفت و سپس جان باخت. پس از کشته شدن محمد مختاری خانواده او به دلیل شرایط امنیتی تا کنون با هیچ رسانه ای به صورت رسمی گفتگو نکرده اند اما مجید مختاری می گوید دیگر نمی تواند از برادرش سخن نگوید.

مجید مختاری برادر محمد مختاری است که پس از شنیدن خبر کشته شدن برادرش راهی بیمارستان شده بود. اینک بعد از گذشت روزها شوک و بیماری توانست خودش را به صفحه اینترنت برساند و پس از مشاهده عکس های منتشر شده از مراسم تشییع محمد مختاری در رسانه های دولتی، به شدت متاثر شد.

وی به خبرنگار جرس در یک گفتگوی تلفنی می گوید: انگارکسی دارد برای من قصه می گوید، قصه برادری که عاشق زندگی بود اما کشته شد و حالا کسی دارد داستان را عوض می کند و این درد آور است که بدن بی جان برادر خود را بر شانه های کسانی می بینم که چهره هایشان برای من که برادر او هستم اصلا آشنا نیست.

رسانه‌های وابسته به دولت، خبر داده بودند “مردم انقلابی” جنازه محمد مختاری که به دست «عوامل منافقین» کشته شده است را، با شعار دادن علیه «سران فتنه» تشییع کرده‌اند بدون آنکه اشاره ای به هویت واقعی این جوان و آخرین نوشته او در صفحه مجازی در فیس بوک کنند که نوشته بود: «خدایا ایستاده مردن را نصبیم کن که از نشسته زیستن در ذلت خسته ام». بدین ترتیب به تعبیر معترضان حکومت، دو تن از کشته شدگان راهپیمایی ۲۵ بهمن توسط لباس‌شخصی ‌ها «دزدیده» و تحت تدابیر شدید امنیتی به خاک سپرده شد.

هوادارن دولت برای صانع ژاله اولین جوانی که هویت او پس از کشته شدن توسط خبرگزاری فارس به عنوان بسیجی معرفی شده بود نیز مراسمی مشابه و سازماندهی شده برگزار کردند که برادر وی قانع ژاله طی یک گفتگو با صدای آمریکا در مورد چگونگی صدور کارت جعلی بسیج خبررسانی کرده بود، اینک مجید مختاری برادر محمد مختاری نیز در مورد وضعیت برگزاری مراسم تشییع و روحیات برادر خود پیش از کشته شدن در راهپیمایی لب به سخن گشود.

گفتگوی تلفنی خبرنگار جرس با مجید مختاری در پی می آید:

شما اولین بار خبر کشته شدن برادرتان محمد مختاری را از کجا شنیده اید؟

من دور از ایران زندگی می کنم و در جریان اخبار ایران از طریق اینترنت قرار می گیرم، روز ۲۵ بهمن بیرون بودم. وقتی به خانه برگشتم با یکی از دوستانم در ایران از طریق اسکایپ صحبت کردم و پرسیدم در ایران چه خبر است؟ خودم هم خبرها را از طریق اینترنت پیگیری کردم اما تا آن زمان هیچ خبری نداشتم. صبح فردا وقتی به دانشگاه رفتم ، سر کلاس نشسته بودم که مدام اس ام اس و پیام از دوستانم دریافت می کردم، آنها فقط حال مرا می پرسیدند، کمی برایم عجیب بود، حتی یک اس ام اس از دایی ام دریافت کردم که از من می پرسید کجا هستم. باز هم نمی دانستم چرا همه حال مرا می پرسند. تا اینکه دیدم چند تن از دوستان ایرانی ام خودشان را به دانشگاه من رساندند ، وقتی پرسیدم چه خبر شده ، گفتند، همینطوری آمدیم که با هم برویم بیرون کمی قدم بزنیم. میان راه وقتی پیاده می رفتم آرام آرام پیام های صفحه فیسبوک را چک می کردم، ناگهان دیدم دوستی ناشناس نوشته است: آیا من با محمد مختاری که شهید شده است نسبتی دارم؟ ناگهان زمین زیر پایم لرزید، تمام توانم را برای راه رفتن از دست دادم. دوستانم متوجه حال پریشانم شدند، زیر بازویم را گرفتند و مدام می پرسیدند چیزی شده؟ من از آنها پرسیدم شما چیزی می دانید؟ خبری شده، برای محمد برادرم اتفاقی افتاده است؟ و بعد دیگر نفهمیدم چه شد، فشار خونم افتاد، شوک عجیبی به من وارد شد، شنیدن خبرِ از دست دادنِ برادر آن هم در غربت آسان نیست . آدم را زمین گیر می کند. از روز سه شنبه تا خود امروز در بیمارستان بستری بودم و هنوز هم فکر می کنم خبری که شنیدم واقعیت ندارد.

آخرین باری که خودتان با محمد صحبت کردید کی بود؟

من دو سه روز قبل از ۲۵ بهمن از طریق فیسبوک با برادم در ارتباط بودم. یک هفته قبل تر هم از طریق اسکایپ با هم گفتگو می کردیم. برادرم کنار پدر و مادرم نشسته بود و وقتی از او می پرسیدم چه خبر؟ سعی می کرد جلوی آنها نگوید که می خواهد در راهپیمایی شرکت کند، نمی خواست آنها را نگران کند. محمد خیلی اهل شوخی بود، بعد که محمد را کشتند با مادرم هم حرف زدم ، مادرم هم رفتن محمد را باور نکرد هنوز. مادرم می گفت روز ۲۵ بهمن محمد به شوخی گفته بود بنشینیم آخرین ناهار را هم دو رهم بخوریم. یعنی برادرم با شوخی و خنده رفت به راهپیمایی و دیگر بر نگشت.

با دیدن عکس های منتشر شده از برگزاری مراسم تشییع پیکر برادرتان چه حالی داشتید و آیا عکس منتشر شده از مرد میان سالی که در این مراسم می گرید متعلق به پدر شماست؟

اوایل که که دکترها در بیمارستان اجازه نمی دادند من عکس ها را ببینم، اما بعد ها وقتی عکس ها را دیدم شکستم. بله عکس پدرم را دیدم که پدر یکی دیگر از دوستان محمد را در آغوش کشیده بود و گریه می کرد اما باقی کسانی که در این مراسم زیر تابوت را گرفته اند را اصلا نمی شناسم. کسانی با ریش و چهره های غریبه پیکر برادرم را تشییع کرده اند چه کسانی هستند؟ درد آور است که من در تمام عکس ها گشتم تا حداقل چند نفری را ببینم که برادرم در تمام این سالها با آنها زندگی کرده بود اما خیلی محدود بودند، نمی دانم چه بگویم. این نامردی است که محمد را کشتند و بعد اجازه ندهند که حتی آزادانه برایش گریه کنیم. من شنیده ام به خانواده ها یی که شهید داده اند می گویند، شما دو پسر دیگر هم دارید و باید مراقب رفتار و گفته های خودتان در مورد کشته شدن محمد باشید. این کجایش عدالت است؟ این دلیلی نمی شود که در روز روشن یک آدم بیگناه را بکشند، هر موقع چنین اتفاقی افتاد برای اینکه وجدان خودمان راحت کنیم نمی شود بگوییم می خواست به دوستانش بپیوندد، نه اون آزادی می خواست….اون خسته شده بود از این مملکت، همه خسته شده بودند….

برایم کمی از روحیات محمد می گویید؟ از چیزهایی که دوست داشت؟ از آرزوهایی که داشت؟

من به تازگی در یک قرعه کشی برنده شدم و کارت سبز آمریکا را گرفتم. محمد همه امیدش به من بود و دلش می خواست یک روزی من او را از ایران بیرون بیاورم دلش می خواست آزاد زندگی کند. حالا همه به من دلداری می دهند که محمد به سمت سرنوشت خودش رفت ولی من می دانم که محمد عاشق ورزش و موسیقی بود، عاشق زندگی بود، عاشق آزادی بود…من نمی توانم باور کنم این همه عشق دیگر نیست. همیشه به من می گفت مجید ، تو چرا لاغر شدی، باید بروی باشگاه و به خودت برسی. خودش همیشه خیلی حواسش به ورزش بود. عاشق آواز خواندن بود. سرزنده بود. پر از شور زندگی بود. من همیشه به او می گفتم در راهپیمایی ها این همه آدم را کشتند، احساساتی می شدم، نگرانش می شدم ولی محمد خیلی در اینترنت فعال بود و حتی عکس پروفایل فیسبوکش را هم به پوستر راهپیمایی ۲۵ بهمن تغییر داده بود و همین دلیلی شد که هر کسی نام محمد مختاری را سرچ می کرد به عکس های او با دستبند سبز در فیسبوک می رسید و نتوانستند برایش کارت بسیج صادر کنند.

آخرین تماس شما با خانواده کی بوده و شرایط روحی آنها چگونه است؟

خانواده ام نگران اند، عزیز از دست داده اند، خیلی راحت نمی توانند با من حرف بزنند، سر بحث را عوض می کنند. من دلم می خواهد بدانم برادرم چگونه کشته شد. دو روایت شنیدم. یکی گفت گلوله ای به سمت سرش شلیک شده اما روایت دیگری می گوید گلوله ای به کتف محمد شلیک شد، محمد از جا بلند شد، حرکت کرد اما باز زمین خورد. من به عنوان برادر طبیعی است که دلم می خواهد بدانم کدام روایت درست است اما هر وقت از خانواده ام می پرسم خیلی با احتیاط جواب می دهند و ترجیح می دهند حرف نزنند. خودم فکر می کنم وقتی به خانواده ام گفته اند شما دو پسر دیگر دارید در واقع تهدید شده اند.

و مهمترین خاطره که شما از محمد دارید چیست؟

همه برادرها با هم دعوا می کنند. یادم هست وقتی محمد بهترین دوست خود به نام روزبه را به تازگی از دست داده بود، خیلی شکننده تر شده بود برای همین هر وقت با هم دعوایمان می شد من خیلی زود می رفتم با او آشتی می کردم. یعنی انقدر عاشقش بودم که دلم نمی خواست او را دلشکسته ببینم. من و محمد فقط برادر نبودیم، رفیق بودیم، خیلی با هم درددل می کردیم. از دست رفتن روزبه خیلی توی روحیه محمد تاثیر بدی گذاشته بود، اینجا دور از ایران وقتی عکسی از مزار محمد را در اینترنت دیدم اول نام روزبه را نشان می دهد. محمد و روزبه را در یک قبر دو طبقه گذاشته اند، خیلی سخت است که ببینی برادرت با آن همه امید به زندگی تمام شد، دفن شد….

مهمترین حرف شما خطاب به مسوولان چیست؟

اصلا نمی تونم چیزی بگم. درد آور است، این تهِ نامردی است که داستان را عوض کنید، هویت قاتل را عوض کنید و داستان را به نفع خودتان جلوه دهید… وقتی می بینم کارهایی که انجام می دهند، سریع تابوت را بر می دارند و دور و بر تابوت می ایستند و پرچم جمهوری اسلامی را می اندازند روی تابوت.

اصلا واقعا چندش آور است این کارها، نمی توانم باور کنم، واقعا نمی دانم بعدها چطور می خواهند جواب بدهند. این حتی دروغ، از جنسِ دروغ های احمدی نژاد هم نیست، این دروغ، یعنی شما قاتل را می دانید کی هست و دارید دروغ می گویید، شما دارید همه چیز صد و هشتاد درجه تغییر می دهید و طور دیگری نشان می دهید، جلوی چشم مردم…همه مراسم خیلی کنترل شده اند. چی بگم، محمد عاشق زندگی بود حق اش نبود کشته شود….

Report by HRANA| Referenced by Freedom Messenger

February 22, 2011 – Today at 11:30am, Shiraz University students attended a rally at Pardis square, but university basij and security forces were mobilized and the scene turned violent. According to HRANA, there were over hundreds of students all calling for a reponse from the authorities of Shiraz University for Shiraz University student Hamed Nourmohammadi who lost his life.

These students protested, despite the heavy presence of security forces, police, and basij at Shiraz University who had attempted to prevent their demonstrations. It is mentioned that security forces and basij attacked Shiraz University students during their protest and it turned violent [at the hands of security forces]. This is while Shiraz University students have announced that they will protest again tomorrow.

هرانا؛ به خشونت کشیده شدن تجمع دانشجویان دانشگاه شیراز

سه شنبه 03 اسفند 1389 ساعت 18:24 |

خبرگزاری هرانا – دانشجویان دانشگاه شیراز امروز ساعت ۳۰: ۱۱ صبح با حضور در میدان پردیس دانشگاه شیراز به اعتراض پرداختند اما این تجمع با دخالت نیروهای حراست و بسیج دانشگاه به خشونت کشیده شد.

بنا به اطلاع گزارشگران هرانا، جمعیت دانشجویان که بالغ بر صد‌ها نفر بود یک صدا خواستار پاسخگویی مسئولین دانشگاه شیراز در قبال جان باختن “حامد نورمحمدی” دانشجوی دانشگاه شیراز شدند.

این اعتراض دانشجویان، علی رغم حضور سنگین نیروهای امنیتی خارج از دانشگاه و ماموران حراست و انتظامات دانشگاه شیراز صورت پذیرفت، که در تلاش برای ممانعت از تشکیل هرگونه تجمعی بودند.

گفتنی ست اعتراض دانشجویان دانشگاه شیراز سرانجام با یورش نیروهای حراست و بسیج به تحصن دانشجویان به خشونت کشیده شد.

این در حالیست که دانشجویان دانشگاه شیراز با پخش فراخوان‌های مختلف اعلام کرده‌اند که فردا نیز به اعتراض دست خواهند زد.

شایان ذکر است، نیروهای حراست، انتظامات و بسیج دانشگاه شیراز در حالت آماده باش به سر می‌برند و به کنترل شدید ورود و خروج دانشجویان به صحن دانشگاه و خوابگاه‌ها مشغول هستند؛ این بار نیروهای حراست علاوه بر احضار و ارعاب بعضی از دانشجویان، به احضار و به قول خود توجیه منطقی بعضی دیگر از دانشجویان پرداخته‌اند.

Original Report by Daneshjoo News

Daneshjoo News — During the course of February 20th protests in Shiraz, one of Shiraz University’s students, Hamed Nourmohammadi, was killed by security forces.

According to Daneshjoo News, Hamed Nourmohammadi, a Shiraz University Biology student, who was from Khorramabad residing in Dastgheyb dormitory, was killed yesterday in Namazi Square in front of Engineering building No.1 while he was running away from basij and security forces. Based on eyewitness accounts, Hamed Nourmohammadi was thrown off a bridge between Daneshjoo and Namazi square by security forces. He was then hit by the cars on the lower street (Saheli Street) and lost his life.

This news is reported while a heavy security climate is reigning over Shiraz University. Some of the student activists have been banned from entering the dormitories and campus. In some cases, the families of these students have been contacted and threatened. Moreover, last night at 10:00 pm, and for a duration of 15 minutes, chants of “Allaho Akbar” (God is Great) and “Death to the Dictator” reverberated across the Mofateh Dormitory of the University of Shiraz.

Comment on Radio Farda, translated by blogger Homylafayette:

I am a friend of Hamed and come from the same town
Hamed is from Alashtar (Namazi Bridge also in Lorestan province), not Khorramabad
As I’m writing this, I can’t even see the computer screen through my tears
My hand is trembling
You mean Hamed?
They killed our Hamed
Hamed I salute you
I salute your sense of honor
[...]
Hamed was a true Green
