A letter for Farzad, Ali and Farhad by Majid Tavakoli

Press release


Majid Tavakoli, a student activist held at Evin prison has sent out a
letter to remember executed Kurdish political prisoners Farzad Kamangar, Ali
Heydarian and Farhad Vakilir executed on the 10th of May by the Iranian
authorities

They announced that Ali was being sent to ward 209. The phones in the halls
were disconnected. I tried to call from the phone in my hall, but that too was
disconnected.

When we went upstairs, Farzad said that they had announced that he too will
be moved to ward 209, but it turned out to be a lie, as they ended up moving
him to ward 240.

The announcement on Saturday afternoon had worried all of us. They usually
announce the executions for political prisoners on Saturdays. An intense
sadness took over my body, but Farzad kept saying that nothing was going to
happen. He said they were only going to ask him a few questions. He knew what
was awaiting him, but as always, he had a positive attitude and tried to make
the best of the situation.
