"#DearToomaj..." I wrote to #ToomajSalehi in prison. To raise the chances, I sent 4 letters to Dastgerd-Prison and 1 to @IraninBerlin demanding a response from Toomaj. Rule of law means prisoners are allowed to receive and write letters. Let's see how it is in IRI. ⬇️

#DearToomaj... My name is Ye-One, I am a member of the German Bundestag and I have taken over the political sponsorship for you.
I am committed to ensuring that you will soon be free again. 1️⃣ #HowHealthyIsToomajReally

#DearToomaj... I admit: When I agreed to become your political sponsor a few weeks ago, I neither knew you nor your music. What I have researched myself since then, but especially what I have heard and read about you from so many people, has impressed me deeply. 2️⃣

#DearToomaj... Many speak of your warmth, your empathy and your great humanity. And there are really many who have told me about you. Many have said I must do everything to protect you. 3️⃣ #HowHealthyIsToomajReally

#DearToomaj... Many have said that you are a very special person who moves and touches many other people with your words. All this has made me curious. And I hope very much that soon the day will come when we may meet in person. 4️⃣ #HowHealthyIsToomajReally

#DearToomaj... When I read the many messages I get, I can assure you: You are not alone. You are not forgotten. All over the world, there are many people who care about you, wonder how you are doing, think about you, hope for you and stand up for you. 5️⃣ #HowHealthyIsToomajReally

#DearToomaj... Today alone, the members of the German Bundestag received hundreds of e-mails asking us to fight for your release. And that is what we are doing. We are fighting for your rights, your freedom and for what you have been fighting for for so long. 6️⃣

#DearToomaj... I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now. I can only write you about my great respect for your courage and your conviction to do the right thing. Germany and Iran are separated by over 4,000 km. Despite this distance we see you. We see your courage. 7️⃣

#DearToomaj... We see what you are fighting for. And we will not look away until the end. We will look closely at how committed Iran is to the rule of law. We will look closely at how human rights are dealt with in Iran. 8️⃣ #HowHealthyIsToomajReally

#DearToomaj... We will look closely at how you and all other political prisoners are treated. Please never lose heart. Please never think you are alone. Please never think that no one is watching. Quite the opposite. ❤️ from Germany 9️⃣ #HowHealthyIsToomajReally
