Zeinab Jalalian, Kurdish political prisoner: No bullet can extinguish the people\u2019s cry for freedom<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zeinab Jalalian, Kurdish political prisoner<\/a>: I sympathize with you with all my life \/ No bullet can suppress and extinguish the Iranian people\u2019s righteous cry for freedom<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Political prisoner Zainab Jalalian, imprisoned in Khoy prison, wrote a letter and expressed her support for the Iranian people\u2019s uprising<\/a> in various cities. In her letter, she declared: \u201cWhile we still draw breath, we will not let the blood of these young people be in vain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter of\nZeinab Jalalian, a Kurdish political prisoner, is as follows;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nsingle-minded and thousand-faced government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has\ncontinued to respond to the Iranians\u2019 cry for freedom with bullet. But history\nhas shown that no bullet can stifle the Iranian people\u2019s rightful cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been two\nweeks that due to prison conditions, I\u2019ve become aware of nationwide protests only\nthrough state-run media. During this time, I have seen repeatedly how\ngovernment officials have publicly declared in their media that protesters are\nnot Iranian and by changing the face of the issue, they are trying to divert\npublic opinion from the main issue they have been denying for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately,\nsince 2009, the Islamic Republic\u2019s authorities have been called Iranian\nprotesters who have come to the streets several times for their rightful\ndemands with shameful labels like rioters, ISIS, and foreign enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These government\nofficials are not honest with themselves. Once they say that it is the people\u2019s\nright to protest, but not the Iranian people. And when people come to the\nstreets, the government answers them with batons, handcuffs, jail, and most\npainfully, by opening fire on them. People who shouted because of their\ndifficult living conditions and getting better have been hit by the Islamic\nRepublic\u2019s bullet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately,\nthe authorities of the Islamic Republic do not want to believe that it is now\nthe 21th century and they cannot rule through ignorance and superstition,\nhypocrisy and lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sympathize\nwith you with my life because I have been jailed for freedom, justice and\nequality in these oppressors\u2019 prison since 2007. But my pain is not that, my\npain is the loss of loved ones whose cries for freedom I will never hear and\nwhom I will never see, only because they have not been associated with this\nbloodthirsty government and have proudly\u00a0\nsacrificed their beloved lives for the ideals of freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do not let\nthe blood of these youth trample as long as we breathe. I will be with the\ntoilers\u2019 front and against the oppressors until we embrace the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
