Sakineh Ashtiani's son Sajjad calls Washington DC protest direct from Iran

On the occasion of the 100 Cities Around the World against Stoning protests, 22-year old Sajjad Ghaderzadeh, the son of Sakineh Ashtiani, the Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning, made a direct call to Mina Ahadi and addressed the crowd at the demonstration. He thanked the world for their support, said that the Islamic Republic regime was telling lies about his mother's guilt, and had ransacked her lawyer's offices and stole documents relevant to her case. It should be recognized that reaching out to the world like this and speaking against the regime puts Sajjad at grave risk for retribution by the regime.

The English translation of Sajjad's message is as follows:

"Greetings to everyone who participated in my mom's demonstration and those who have signs in their hands. I want to say that I love you very much and I am thankful for your kindness and attention.

The news that sometime ago was put out by the Human Rights Office of the Judiciary is an absolute lie, and we have noticed that my mom's file has now been lost. The Islamic Republic has altered the file and they have entered Houtan Kian's place (my mom's lawyer) and all of the documents have been taken away, even his laptop and other belongings. And then they went to my mom and by beating her, forced her to say certain things.

We want from the whole world to help us in this ordeal. All of those people who are supporting us in Iran, such as Houtan Kian, they are in danger.

And once again, we thank everybody."

@Laarriiee33 Democracy is about other people contesting your beliefs, and I did so! Fell free to answer! Thats how civilized people talk! Democracy is not about people saying their own opinion and the others cannot answering them! Yes you have liberty of speech, but you have to understand that I have that also! I didn´t insult your religion, i give my oppinion! If you do evil I can´t say you don´t!

Unbelievers, quoted, have killed Muslims kids and women…they have stolen their possessions, their houses. They forced thousands of families to stay in an arid area during three years, under a blazing sun without food, without water, because they choose (freedom to pray, freedom to choose their religion) a new religion…Give me more verse, give me lessons from the Holy Quran please!

@Laarriiee33 That idea that only Muslims that memorize the quran is really getting on my nerves, you people all say the same thing! If somebody speak against the quran you start to jump accusing him of not knowing the quran! You must inform yourself about what the person know before start to say that he didn´t read nothing!

@Laarriiee33 The quran and Hadith, then tons of Islamic leaders declarations.

“I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore, smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off their fingers and toes.” (Koran 8:12) “Allah wished to confirm the truth by his words: Wipe the infidels out to the last.” (Koran: 8:7)
