Letter: For My Daughter, Shiva Nazar Ahari
June 05, 2010Deutsche Übersetzung auf Julias Blog lesen
The mother of imprisoned human rights activist Shiva Nazar Ahari writes a letter for her daughter.
Dear daughter
,
It seems like it is now normal in this world to imprison people for the crimes of seeking freedom and loving human beings. You have been imprisoned for more than six months for this very crime. As a mother, I am proud of you. You were always the best and you still are.
My dear daughter, when I went to the university to pick up your diploma, every official at the university congratulated me for having a daughter with such perseverance, and they prayed that in the future, imprisonment would not be the penalty for loving human beings and seeking justice.
And now I yell out from the bottom of my heart with a loud voice: I have raised Shiva on my lap. And if someone deserves to be in prison it is me, not Shiva!
Therefore, put me in chains and release my daughter.
Your mother,
Shahrzad Kariman
