The International Committee Against Execution (ICAE) has just been
informed by sources inside Rajai-Shahr prison that Loghman Moradi's name
was called on the loudspeaker and that he will be taken away at 6:00
a.m.Sunday for "court proceedings". It is understood or at
least assumed that he is going to be taken to the gallows as this is the
usual process before an execution. Prisoners in Rajai-Shahr are keeping
vigil. Here is Zaniar Moradi's letter perhaps the last, regarding this
report.
Zaniar Moradi's letter February 22, 2014 to ICAE
Translated by Shadi Paveh
Tonight I will stay up with my "soul mate" Loghman who share
the very same fate as me. Do whatever you can to stop them from killing
us.
We are cousins but people think we are brothers. We have the same last
name. Our fates are interconnected....we are one. We share one of the deepest
bonds.
Many times I have thought about the cold day that they will hang us
side by side. I think of how people can stand to see us die and hang and
not be horrified by it.
I ask you what kind of life this has been for two young boys who
should be out dancing and partying instead of being locked up in prison
waiting to be executed. I ask you to tell me who is responsible for it
all.
And tonight...I do not know what to say or what to do.... they will
come to take him away in a few hours?
It is important to not lose hope. They called out his name on the loud
speaker and said that he will be taken away "for court". What
kind of trick is this? What about me? Why are they taking him alone? Are
they actually taking him just for court?
Tonight I shall stay up with my soul mate whose fate has been
intertwined with mine. I ask you to do whatever it is that you can
do....don't let them kill us. That is all we ask.
