2/ The prisoners say, “The monster of indifference will be the Achilles’ heel of our revolutionary movement.” They warn that ignoring the suffering of others will only strengthen ruling forces & make change impossible. They urge Iranians to stand with the Palestinian people.
3/ They also slam some members of the Iranian opposition who seek "democracy" through foreign intervention.
4/ They say, “These people are mainly looking for their share after the complete destruction of society’s infrastructure due to Western military attacks, as if they have learned nothing from the past two decades in Afghanistan and Iraq.”
5/ They say that in the height of the “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement, these people only sought the support of Israel and the West, and in the current war, “they only serve them.”
6/ They call for Iran’s opposition movement to “link the struggle against oppression, exploitation, and discrimination with the struggle against war and warmongering.”
7/ They say “women, life, freedom,” means “supporting human dignity, and opposing discrimination and apartheid in any form, and relying on this slogan to confront religious fundamentalism in any form, whether Hamas or Israel.”
8/ They say that the real divide in the world is between reactionary, militaristic, and oppressive forces on one side, and “progressive social, labor, women’s movements, and the desire for freedom and equality on the other.”
9/ They say that Israel and the Islamic Republic are on the same side of this divide, and that the people of Iran and Palestine are on the opposite side.
10/ The signers of the letter are prominent Iranian political prisoners Anisha Asadollahi, Golrokh Iraee, Reza Shahabi, Arash Johari, Kivan Mehrtadi, Mehran Raouf, Fouad Fathi, Mazyar Seydnejad, Omid Massir.
They are all serving prison sentences for their activism & dissent.
