English transcript of this interview was contributed by Said Mohammadi, which we are grateful for his cooperation with us.
I have Miss. Shirin
Kamangar on air, late Farzad kamangar's sister, the activist teacher
let me express my
greetings and condolences to you and dear mother Mrs. Saltaneh Rezaee,
your relatives and
acquaintances
I should acknowledge
that since I interviewed directly with mother
and due to my
conversations with Farzad Kamangar's lawyer, Mr. khalil Bahramanian
which was published
through this program all over the world
and I also read
Farzad's beautiful writings from this program
it is truly difficult
for me to believe this
that how the Islamic
Regime, shows his hatred towards brave, fighting,
freedom and equality
seeker people, by brutally murdering captive fighters like Farzad Kamangar
and his 4 dear
companions
Shirin Kamangar please tell us if you and
your family, your mother or brother, were already aware
of the time and place
of Farzad's execution?
did they let your
mother to bid farewell?
unfortunately not! one
year ago our mother had a 5 minute meeting with him
we haven't vand we haven't
seen him for one year
the execution has been
so unexpected and sudden
neither his lawyer nor
the family were not informed and he
himself
was not informed even
one day before the execution
because the day before
at 4 p.m he called home and asked for some books to be sent to him
he didn't guess any
danger and they didn't tell himself neither
it seems after his
last contact with home all the telephones in Evin were cut off
and he didn't have any
contact with the world
and his execution was
performed in the early morning of the same night
after Evin telephones
were disconnection
Miss Shirin Kamangar
please tell us exactly when, where and at what time was Farzad Kamangar
executed?
the time and place is
not truly clear for us, we just know it has been in Evin
the day before (the
execution) he called us from Evin
and they say he was
executed in Evin
and unfortunately we
don't know its exact time
at first we didn't
want to accept the news at all until 10 o'clock in the morning
when it was declared
we considered it as a
rumor, but unfortunately this rumor gradually became truth
I did want to have a
conversation with your mother Mrs. Rezaee
but I know she is
severely ill. tell us a little about her
my mother has heart
disease and also has blood pressure and unfortunately
she has really lost
her balance in these two days
I know that many
parties and organizations have called
for a public strike for the people of Kurdistan
on 23rd of
Ordibehesht. did your family and acquaintances call for commemoration?
did you receive
Farzad's body?
unfortunately not! we
as the family put all our strength and considered it as a priority to get the
body
sometimes his mother
became suspicious in the whole issue that maybe he has not been executed
and even if it's just
for our own relief the least thing we can do is to put all our energy to get
the body back
and now we are waiting
for the answer
also today we went to
many places
we're waiting for some
organizations that they might cooperate and arrange a way for us to get the
body tomorrow
Miss. Shirin Kamangar
will you transfer Farzad's body from Tehran to Kamyaran?
we will definitely
take it to Kurdistan but it's not clear where exactly
the priority is our
mother to see the body, relief herself, then she will decide to take him to his
birthplace
dear Shirin, this is a
very difficult situation, do you have a message for all those who are listening
to you all over the world?
we just appreciate the
sympathy of all those friends who stayed with us in these moments
thank you very much
deliver my special
greetings to Mrs. Saltaneh Rezaee
we really will not
forget her consistent fighting
many times when I
called her and she was on the way between Kamyaran and Tehran to see Farzad
I say special hello
and accept our sympathy in these harsh days
thank you very much
good luck
