Cry of ‘ Ya Hussein’ by Ali Saremi echoed at the time of his execution

Dec. 29, 2010
By the time of Azan (call for praying time) two ambulances came. On one of them it was written ‘inspection’ and on the other nothing was written. It didn’t take even half an hour.
After a while three loud cries of ‘Ya Hussein’ echoed in the air shivering our bodies. Then when the SSF left one by one we understood that everything was over.
Zainab Saremi who was present in front of Evin at the time of his father’s execution said that the officials didn’t inform them of the time of the execution and they found it out from his father’s cell-mates. Zainab said that even his lawyer was not informed of the time: “last night at dusk my father’s cell-mates called us at home and told us that Ali Saremi is suspiciously ‘abducted’ and his cell-mate have noticed his absence. They told us you should really be afraid”.
She added: “even when we gathered outside Evin along with our friends and relatives and asked about him they told us ‘there is nothing going on here, everybody is sleep, go away’. My mother was walking there from early night till morning”.
At the end she said: “we ask all human rights organizations not to permit more families become mournful. I hope that they don’t let this happen to other families”.
