گفتگوي مينوهمتي با مادر فرزادکمانگر (خانم سلطنه رضائي) و همچنين آقاي خليل بهراميان وکيل مدافع فرزاد کمانگر

English transcript of this interview was contributed by Said Mohammadi, which we are grateful for his cooperation with us.

it has been more than 4 years that the honorable and conscious teacher Farzad Kamangar is still imprisoned

by the Islamic regime under difficult conditions, and the risk of execution,

 even though it has been proven that the accusations against him are baseless and false

I have a conversation with Farzad Kamangar's mother Mrs. Saltaneh Rezaee

thank you very much

yes, as you said Farzad Kamangar has been teaching in Kamyaran and the villages

Farzad is a respected member of the family, has a mother of 70 years ,

has supported many orphans

now it has been 4 years that he is under this verdict

I firstly ask the mothers to attempt hand in hand to bring our children back to ourselves,

then my government, my president and my leader, if he claims to be an Islamic leader,

 a leader is a person who doesn't lose his people (their support)

shouldn't oppress his nation, a president should take care of his people

not to betray them, not to execute the youth

I ask them and all those who hear my voice, give our children back to us

don't torture us anymore

I also ask all the media to hear my voice, to fight for these youth

execution is enough, no to execution

Mrs. Rezaee, international attempts to prevent execution  verdicts, specially Farzad Kamangar's  verdict is underway

you know that many other honorable and freedom seeker people particularly Habibollah Lotfi

are under execution danger

what is your call up message, as a pursuing mother, in defending unconditional freedom of your child

and other captives, to the prisoners' families, and all freedom seeker people who are against execution?

in these difficult days, what is your expectation from all the people against the execution of Farzad, Habibollah Lotfi and other dear prisoners?

I expect them to give these children back to us. to set them free. all human rights activists,

campaigns, all those who hear my voice, all those who are in the way of Islam and humanity

and are talking about us and defending us, I ask all of them and the media to react in support of these prisoners

not just Farzad, there thousand other Farzads. many like Farzad are under execution verdict

many like him are under execution. I ask the international society to bring us back our children

safe and sound

Mrs. Rezaee, do you have a call up in the coming days for those who hear you

to come together, hand in hand, and support all dear prisoners and ask for their freedom?

well, I ask all of them to hear my voice on this phone and in the media

like you who have called and are fighting for these prisoners, I expect my nation, if they are human

and care about humanity should rise up and react in support of these prisoners

I am a 70 year old mother and I can do nothing

they don't answer me. ok, let the nation support me and back me up hand in hand

and take action for these prisoners

how long is this government going to put these verdicts on the youth?

why is this leader doing this to us?

if this leader is human and considers himself a Muslim, he must stop execution

and give our children back to us. I cannot speak anymore

we have heard that you have called up for a gathering on Sunday 11th of Bahman, and you've asked

everyone to take part, as a protest for the freedom of all these dear prisoners

we are all listening. you can declare it yourself that there is a gathering on this day

yes, on Sunday I want to gather in a place, along with other mothers whose children are under execution danger

and mothers who are waiting for their children, and ask the Islamic Republic, our government,

our president, our leader to set our children free and abolish execution

there must not be any other executions

if he considers himself a leader he should stop execution and killing the youth

let me tell him, if he prays to God, why is he executing  people's children? doesn't he have a son?

wont his son get stuck in a situation like this? let all the people hear me, let them ( authorities) hear me as well

I have raised this son with difficulty and I had great wishes for him

he tried and labored in dust (in classroom) for 14 years for the children of this nation

shouldn't this nation remember what he did for them?

 and shouldn't they fight for these prisoners' freedom?

can they forget their labor and service for 14 years for their (people's) children?

why shouldn't they (people) cry and shout for the rights of these prisoners?

why they shouldn't  go to the president and tell him not to be cruel to his people and care for them?

thank you very much Mrs. Rezaee everybody hears your voice and we hope many people can come and unite with you for unconditional freedom of these dear prisoners

thank you very much

much obliged
