My full solidarity with this heartfelt message to the Biden administration by Siamak Namazi from Tehran's notorious Evin prison. His father and our dear former UNICEF colleague, the 85-year-old Baquer Namazi, is also held hostage in Iran. Cynical & despicable brutality by the Iranian government. Inadequate efforts by the US government and international community to secure their release.

Dear Kul
ReplyDeleteI know not how to thank you for your empathy, your continuous support and assistance to my family and myself.
Siamak's article says it all
Thanks again and God bless your very kind heart
Baquer
Dear Baquer Jaan,
ReplyDeleteI am deeply saddened. I hope this situation comes to an end and soon.
Holding you and your family in my heart!
Nuzhat
Such a sad reminder of what Baquer and Siamak have suffered.
ReplyDeleteI continue to hold both in my heart and prayers.
I have been reading about the poverty of empathy that we have in the United States but also how exhausting it is to give a damn (John Pavlovitz). The bravery of father & son in the face of such injustice provides energy to continue our battles for justice and sanity in a world that seems to be self destructing.
