Ashura! Dedicated to all the brave Freedomfighters in Iran and lost lifes.(pls read whole info)

I am tired of forced smile
I am tired of repeated words ( meaning useless words)
By MAJID TAVAKOLI




I would like to begin by expressing my happiness, gratitude, and deep appreciation to the great nation of Iran. I am thrilled to have been born in a country where the desire for freedom and humanity is filled with the essential qualities of nobility, strength, and power. The great spirit that exists is a source of light against the masters of tyranny who conspire throughout the night, invalidating and washing out their oppression and intimidation.




I went from a hunger strike in solitary confinement to witnessing the compassion, empathy, and the victorious will of the people of my nation. It has made me look back at the difficulties and bitterness of those days [in solitary confinement] with happiness and pride. The level of sympathy and support expressed by the Green people of my nation has left me at a loss for words. It is with tears of joy that I humbly address the grand people of Iran -- tears of joy that express my immense gratitude for their sympathy, kindness, and solidarity. I humbly thank them for their humanity, their continued desire for freedom, and also for proving once again that they will never leave their friends alone.




I would like to thank every prisoner for their solidarity and for speaking with one voice. I want them to know that we will always be in this together. I would like to thank all the leaders who proved that they are noble mothers and fathers of the Green Movement. I would like to thank all mothers who have imprisoned children and all those who have lost their spouse, child, or parent to this cause. I would like to thank all those mothers who have gone beyond their role as wives and mothers to political prisoners. They have become champions of the Green ideals of our nation during a time of such intense oppression and intimidation.




I would like to thank the noble young women of my nation who were the cause of my mother's tears of joy. They have given me the greatest gift of all, to know what it feels like to have sisters of my own. I would like to thank all my brothers, the proud young boys of my nation who stood tall and proved that they are all Majid and that Majid will never be alone.




My gratitude for the students of our nation cannot be over expressed. I would like to thank them once again and I am forever humbled by their kindness and support. I would also like to thank the security and administrative personnel at the prison and the hospital for the support and sympathy they showed toward me. I thank them for turning their backs on those who have abandoned humanity and who are so determined to teach a lesson that they neglect the rights of prisoners in the process. Last, but not least, I would like to thank my family, in particular my mother and father. They are my Green role models who taught me as a child the importance of strength, courage, and honesty -- they continue to teach me the same today.




It is only befitting that the month of June be referred to as the people's month. I would like to allow myself to think of this incident as a large victory; a victory for the solidarity and sympathy shown by the people; a victory for the dynamic media and the effective spreading of the news; a victory for the people who, regardless of their pain and difficulties, remembered each other and stood together with one voice; and a victory for the media that was not intimidated to shatter censorship.




I am joyful that this evil tyranny is revealed. I am joyful that the advocates of human rights made it possible for the cries of justice by the Iranian nation to be heard by the world and international institutions. I am grateful and happy to know that the slightest news (such as my transfer from the general ward to solitary confinement, my hunger strike, deteriorating physical condition, internal bleeding, and my transfer to Taleghani hospital and back to Evin prison) was spread fast, proving that the walls of censorship are crumbling around us and demonstrating the greatness of free media and the freedom-seeking reporters and messengers of my nation.




This victory and solidarity was a lesson for our future. It taught us that if there is a will, and if we are in sync with what we want, then it will happen. Tyranny cannot hide its real face forever. It will eventually retreat under the pressure of the people's demands and desires.




I would like to once again express my gratitude and congratulate the Green people of my nation.
