Following the November uprising in Iran, attorney and\u00a0political prisoner<\/a>\u00a0Soheila Hejab sent an open letter from Evin Prison on January 13, 2020. Addressing the mullahs\u2019 regime, she said, \u201cThe pen that does not write about injustice must be broken! The tyrannical regime must be overthrown!\u201d<\/p>\n

Noting the downing of the\u00a0Ukrainian Airliner<\/a>, she wrote, \u201cThe three-day concealment of the truth from people can be considered a criminal act. The authorities\u2019 misleading statements are examples of spreading falsities and must be prosecuted by the Judiciary. This is a manifest example of abusing legal powers.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another part of her letter, Soheila Hejab reviewed the various events where the people of Iran had lost their lives, including the uprising in November. She said, \u201cI think of Iran as a sore pain in the throat. The pain and suffering of those killed in the November protests, in the overturning of buses, in the plane crash, in the floods in\u00a0Sistan and Baluchistan<\/a>, and in thousands of other disasters that occur one after another due to the policies of incompetent rulers, and the lack of scientific preventive measures and advanced equipment. And our noble and patient compatriots have been engulfed in great sorrow and sadness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soheila Hejab also wrote about the floods in Sistan and Baluchistan province: \u201cSistan and Baluchestan is not just a border province; it is the land of legends and civilizations\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cWith shortage of health, medical and educational centers, numerous talented souls have perished without being educated. Unfair distribution of resources in Iran has marginalized the potentials of these patient people. Today, the devastating flood and the rising level of water have destroyed their homes, forcing them to climb up the trees and hills to survive. The people\u2019s national wealth is plundered instead of being spent for their welfare.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow much longer will our people have to pay in different ways for the incompetency of the rulers? Our people are well aware that this regime is evil, it is an occupier regime which has never belonged to Iran.\u201d \u201cThis tyrannical regime must be overthrown,\u201d Soheila Hejab concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
