Open letter of ex-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Qasem Soleimani in 2019: You are on the side of the oppressors against justice and freedom‼️
🧵
🧵
"In the name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
Major General Haj Qassem Soleimani
Commander of the Quds Force
Peace be upon you,
It is said that, in the case of the arrest of Mr. Jahangiri's brother—the First Vice President and one of the principal shareholders of Tourism Bank—you intervened and, by recommending leniency to the relevant authorities, secured his release.
At the same time, based on the false accusation that you had delivered sums of money to Mr. Baqaei, a great injustice was committed against this faithful, upright, devoted, and revolutionary brother.
Unfortunately, Your Excellency quite openly refrained from giving testimony on this matter and ignored numerous letters and repeated requests.
As a result of this failure, an innocent man received some of the harshest unjust punishments and has now spent months in solitary confinement, held under the supervision of doctors.
I do not know what else must happen before some people awaken and return to the path of divine values: safeguarding freedom, administering justice, defending the oppressed, and confronting oppression.
I pray to Almighty God for the removal of injustice and for the establishment of justice, dignity, and freedom.
Servant of the Iranian nation,
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad"

Reminder that the whole Jalili movement (Daeshis of the Shia type) is largely the continuation of the Ahmadinejad legacy. American-Israeli objective vis-a-vis Iran was a hyper-Khomeinite state, a Shia ISIS emirate with a 'moderate' and 'secular' mask.
