Striking letter of Zainab Saremi to his father after his execution
Tehran, Dec. 30, 2010
Zainab’s letter speaks of moments of a girl who feels her kind and struggling father going to the gallows and hears his cry of ‘Hussein’ with all her cells: Father, we came so that they would shot mother, my sisters and I at heart to let you live and defend my homeland!
The full letter:
“I write this letter for the soul of my great father so that it would hear!
My dear dad, I wish I could know if you could feel us behind the prisons wall!
In the cold winter weather we were all shaking and the SSFs were sitting in their cars warming themselves.
Father, I came to kiss your shining face.
I came so that they would shoot my mother, my sisters and I at heart but you could live and defend my homeland!
I lasted not more than 20 minutes that two ambulances came close to Azan (call for praying time) and they wanted to enter Evin through its iron door. On one of them it was written inspection…They haven’t entered yet that the cry of ‘Hussein’, ‘Hussein’, ‘Hussiein’ broke the chilling silence of Evin and strangled with Azan in a night full of stars and moon!
I couldn’t move. I cannot describe it. We all felt the chill. After Azan the SSFs went and we were left there.
Dad, I saw you flew away and left us behind. But we have not been left behind; just look at you footprint! The whole world came; they are following your path even with broken heads!
Father! I love you from the bottom of my heart. I love you. I love you.
Ali Saremi: I demand nothing from the henchmen
Tehran, Dec. 31, 2010
Ali Saremi stood to pray before his execution. When the torturers wanted to blindfold him when hanging him he didn’t accept and said that he wanted his eyes open and he went up the gallows while crying the name of Imam Hussein (Imam Hussein is the symbol for withstanding against oppressors in any condition).
His wife says: “on Monday we went to visit him (the day before his execution). The cabin’s phone didn’t work properly. My daughter Zainab told his father: Dad! Ask for one more visit, and he answered back: my darling I ask these henchmen none”.
She adds: “once Misagh (Misagh Yazdan Nejad political prisoner) called me and said: tell Mr. Ali that now that we are transferred and you are in ward 2, ask them to transfer you to our cell; I did so but Ali answered me: I will never demand anything from these henchmen…”
