(Zaman Al Wasl)- “The Mother of Martyrs”, Iranian opposition woman had died few days ago, and now she would meet her 6 sons and a daughter and son-in-law who were killed by the Iranian regime. She spent her life between graveyards and prisons as she spent years of her life in prison.
Mansoora Bahkish was buried in the grave yard of Bahshat Zahra in Tehran where big numbers of mothers of opposition’s martyrs, families of detainees participated in her funeral, according to Mohammed Emir, the Iranian opposition figure.
Emir added to Zaman Al Wasl that “Mansoora” was considered a symbol for Iranians who resist the regime and spent months of her life in prisons and graveyards, she was the first to oppose the policy of religious suppression adopted by the Iranian regime, she fought very hard to protect the rights of Martyrs Families, and against violation of the prisoners’ rights in 1988.
“Be patient and persistent and you will reach to victory”, she used to say that to opposition people to encourage them.
According to “Reporters without Boarders”, a court in Iran had informed Mansoora of her imprisonment sentence for four and a half year in 4-April-2012, under accusation of gathering and conspiring against the national security, because she supported the families of victims of suppression operation happened after 2009’s election and vctims of massacre happened in prisons in 1988.
Mortada Azad, the Iranian opposition figure mentioned that her sons and son-in-law and many other prisoners were executed after spending all their sentence in 1988 under accusation of being members of Left-wing organisation and “Mojahidi Khalq”. He added that executing those prisoners based on an advisory opinion of al-Khmaini because they refused to announce repentance, and the punishment of those who insist on subversion is death.
Azad mentioned that massacre was discovered years after committing it, when “Mojahidi Khalq” organisation revealed the location of the massacre late nineties to the Iranian and International community.
According to Azad, the organisation managed to know about the massacre when they discovered pictures of bodies of some victims, among them were Manoora’s sons, who was not allowed to know where they were buried and even did not know the reason behind killing them, which of course caused her deep pain and sadness.
